Recess Soccer is a Hit By Hiba Altayyar During second recess students play soccer with P.E. teacher Mr. Muhammed Ali. The minisoccer tournaments are at the outdoor gym. There are five teams challenging each other from grades 4-8. Each team has four
students. The blue, yellow, green, and orange teams have all boys. The red team has three girls and one boy. Tournaments began Nov. 4. At the first match the orange team won against the green team with a score of 1-0.
Before her match, we asked grade 5 student Julianna if she was excited to play. She said, “I am so excited and a little bit nervous!” The game resulted in a tie. The tournament is scheduled to end this week.
