My First Six Months of Soccer Class | By Bhodak.S Grade 4, Emerald House (Green Group)

Jan 21, 2026 | Student Corner

My name is Bhodak S. I study in Grade 4, Section C, and I belong to Emerald House (Green Group).
On the first day of soccer class, I was very eager to join. I waited the whole day for it. One hour before the class, I suddenly remembered my jersey. So, I called my mother and asked her to bring it to school. When she brought it, I ran as fast as I could, changed my clothes, and came to the ground.

On my first day of soccer class, I learned a lot of new things. When I saw dribbling on the computer, it looked very hard. But when I saw it in real life, it looked easy. They even made us play a match on the first day! I played as a defender.

Now I play as a left wing, right wing, defender, striker, or goalkeeper — not all together, but I keep changing positions in different matches.

After my two demo classes, I went to buy my shoes, socks, and the jersey kit. The football coordinator gave me the jersey. When I bought the shoes and socks, they accidentally gave me two pairs of socks, and since I already had one, I now have three pairs!

My father and I searched everywhere for good shoes until a kind man showed us the right shop. My father bought the shoes and socks. He also talked with the shop owner, who said his son was a soccer player too and had many leg injuries. Then my father asked about shin pads. Since I also go to Taekwondo, I asked if they were the same shin pads, but they said soccer shin pads are smaller. The shop didn’t give shin pads, so we bought them separately.

My father also said that I should not keep my soccer things in my school bag because it is disrespectful to keep it with books. We didn’t have another bag at home, so we bought a special soccer bag.

A few days later, the school gave us our jerseys. Everyone was screaming for jersey number 7 or 10. I was the last one to pick, and only number 12 was left. I felt very sad that day. But then I promised myself: “One day, everyone will want jersey number 12 just like 7 or 10 or 11.”

Later, we played many matches and had lots of fun. There was also a tournament on Sunday, but I couldn’t go because my father was sick. Our team lost in the semi-finals. I kept asking my friends how they lost, but I didn’t understand their answers.

A month later, our sir started giving awards like Man of the Match, Best Player, and Most Disciplined Player. I got one Man of the Match award so far, but I’m sure I’ll get more!

During the Dasara vacation, we had extra training. They taught us dribbling, shooting, goalkeeping, and special tricks. We played matches in three teams. First, I played as a defender, then right wing or left wing, then goalkeeper, and finally as a striker.

I am also the main free kick and penalty shooter on my team. No goalkeeper can stop my shots—even the wall of players!

we had a friendly match with elder players. We scored 4 goals, and they scored 8. Coach said, “Don’t worry. They are elder and have trained for 2–3 years. You’ve just started in 2 months. This is a good performance.” He asked us to write down what we learned and what to improve in our Soccer Book.

and after that day I went to home I trained too much with the ball after I came to home it was looking like I took a bath with sweat and my legs were shivering and in the next day of coaching> I played as the defender my team was 80 percent weak from the opposing team but learns in our same academy they are talented but our team was weak we played like we usually did and do you know what was the final score

It was 3 and 6.3 from the opponent and 6 from us I played in defense position this is not born talent like them this is pure hardwork I scored two goals one kick and one unnexpected header and two from my striker one asist from me then on time when coach told start all were this side and he scored a goal and other two was from our two lovely wingers teamwork and do not forget the goalkeeper he did half of the work by saving 15 goals but in his legue he left 24 goals in the coaching and I will be mostly goal keeper or defender I n my goal keeper and Defender legue i only left 13 goals.

and like after a mont or something they devided juniors Middle class and there was another batch seniors I was in the Middle class batch I was doing well but some of the talented players in our session who gottalent from birth they were also called hear and they were playing woith the senior batch also but I was only here Middle class and session went on more training sessions Freindly matches tournaments There were tottally 16 Freindly matches we won 12 and we lost 4 by just one goal in all 4 and one was doing cheating even the coach but we let it go as it was just a freindly match.

And my glory started from there I become aggresive player and good defending I was not just defending I was attacking and scoring goals in last minutes and one of the best goal keepers and i did not know one time i was a goal keeper I snatched the ball with confidence in a session and I dribbled forward just near the goal Defender did a slide tackle rom nowhere he made me fall the goal keeper who was in position relaxed himself as he came and hear what he slidded made me fall and hitted a self goal. coach told do not do it again you were in danger sight i told okay .

After that day coach joined me a tournament with the seniors I was happy to go I was the first one to give the fees But they forgot to add one talented player witth birth he plays very nicely on the pitch So they cancelled my name added his name and gave back the fees and that day I went home practiced I was like falling i could not feel my legs I wanted to prove hard work is better than Talent and they lost the match by three goals our team and after some days coach made us rush academy tro do self coaring and played I played very good I was like the best in the game witha weak team which player did not know to play properly it was a mix of Middle class and Juniors I played Better than Juniors I think everything payed off by passing to the striker by nutmeging 3 talented players and shaming them.

Then coach took me to the tournament with seniors 1st match I played as defender with the people of same age as us 3 for them 8 for us then the next match I played as Right wing By scoring two goals by me Score 5 by opponent and 7 from us a bit lower than last time but they were like some elder then us some smaller than us then the last tornament all became flop all oponents were elder than us we were struggling but we did not needed like last two time the score was 1 by us and 5 by opponent half match they changed the goal keeper by me after half of the last match scor was 6 4 6 by opponent and 4 by us we lost one more goal becuse I did not know they starded the game then i stopped 6 fgoals and After some time i got some confidence i was thinking of it also we were losing andthe when the ball came i snatch dribbled forward the whole pitch my coach warned me bu the team was losing i wnet did tricks it felt the pitch was bigger than usual and when I want near the goal Two defenders one from left side and one from left side lide tackled I drobbled more fastly and they bothe dshed and got hurt Then I tricked Him the goal keeper by acting like to pass to the striker then he faced the striker I scored It is 5 6 Last minure score from me . more 10 minutes left .

A center start I ran to my position opponet did coordination and passed and dribblid till the goal Referee yelled last 5 minutes Then i catched the ball without fear and I throwed the ball to striker all oponent had coordination so all were fron only goalkeeper was at the back he went and took a powerful shot at the last minute after his goal whistle came a draw and now one penalty for each.

First was for the opponent team I was Goal Keeper and They kicked it outside and the next penalty was ours it was like do or die all were cheering us captain told me to do and like usual Acting to kick Left side and kicked left a goal and after the matched we celebrated took the trophy and went back and the next day when it was coaching coach told me nice confidence coach also told I thought your leg was goint to break when the two defenders slided but you did flop You are so cunning and congradgulation I will be adding you for WPL Under level team I was Happy and that is for now

This was just yesterday.
I love soccer very much. In these six months, I have received 11 Man of the Match awards. I have learned more than I ever expected. I am going to make jersey number 12 very famous, and I will be the best soccer player in history. I promise – wait and watch my growth. I am going to develop myself.

And remember my name – Bhodak S. I’m going to be the best soccer player in history, and soon, everyone will want jersey number 12!
