Take a lap!


Ouch! Some kids are playing football on the other side of the park. Right when I got here one of the guys caught a pass and the other guy pushed him as he was trying to catch it and he fell into the grass. It looked like it stung a little. He got up fast though so that is good news. They continued to play 3 on 3. The soccer team is practicing on this side of the park. They are barely getting here right now. A few of them have started warming up and stretching. There is no one at the basketball courts. The guys playing football are about 17 or 18 years old. They are football players from the looks of it. They are pretty decent as I am watching them play. One of the guys playing quarterback is very accurate with his throws. The other one is not so much but he is not horrible. But he did just over throw someone…. Anyways. The soccer team has started their favorite activity, running! They are running laps at the moment. One of the boys is wearing a white shirt and bright pink shorts. That is different. Their coach is on the phone watching them run. He seems to be laughing and he is smiling so I’m guessing the call is good. The boys playing football are sure getting their work out in today. They have just been going at it. One of the guys playing receiver just caught a touchdown pass over the guy that was covering him. It was impressive. The other team just got the ball now. They have the better quarterback so they should be able to do something. The soccer team started doing a shooting drill with the goalie. The goalie is a wall back there. Not much gets past him. One of the guys caught a pass playing football and as he was running away from the other guy he tripped and fell. All the other guys are laughing at him. It was funny to see but they shouldn’t laugh at him. I think it hurt because he was kind of slow to get off and had to walk it off a little bit. The soccer team is starting to scrimmage each other now. The guys are leaving the park. I guess they are done since that guy got hurt. Wow. That kid that usually dominates everyone scored already. He must be on today. It took him literally like 20 seconds from when the game started. Here comes some girl walking her dog. She is walking a huge dog. It is a black Great Dane. The dog is bigger than her. The sun is starting to go down now. The soccer team seems to be going back and forth now. I think the other team is just trying to keep it as far away as possible from that one kid. He is literally that good compared to the rest of them. Well for some reason the coach stopped them from playing and made them start running again. Poor kids.
