how to get in shape like a soccer player

I know that there is conditioning for a couple weeks. That they run and do dribbling exercises with the ball...not like basketball with the feet... They do a lot of side to side quickness drills, and ball handling. I know that they work on tossing and throwing the ball in bounds. hmmmm... i forgot the rest thats why im oding the project

volley ball wrap up

i know that the team tried very hard all season. I know that there was some sweet victories against teams with big titles. I know that there was some defeats that left a mark on the players season and might have brought down the mood. I know that there is problems between coach and players. There also might be problems between player player..no names. I know that the team gets a lot of bruises all over their bodies. I know that overall the teams outcome is very hidden in the school because it was not the greatest.

football wrap up

I know that the football team won a couple games and lost a couple games. I know that there was some injuries this season. I know that a couple people on the team didn't make grades last year and were not able to play this year. I know that a couple players on the team are doing better than others and have hit season highs. I know some of the best players, and some of the ones who haven't touched the game ball or even left the sidelines all season. I know that overall the team has done better than previous years. I know that the team is not willing to lose any more games and has a lot of heart. The players are very pumped up this year. hmmm i dont know much else

Sports Update Fall Semester

Starting off a new year, the sports teams at Gunderson have stepped up their game. Coming in with determination and fire, the teams have pulled off many victories so far and have more to come. Though all teams have a lot of work to do, they have shown that they all deserve a spot to be recognized.
Our varsity boys football team, currently at a 3-2 standing point, led by senior captains Armando Olmo, Roger Rose, Anthony Watson, and JC Brown, they have defeated Monte Vista 34-7, Branham 35-7, and Mission San Jose 42-6. Though they met their match at Del Mar 0-26, and Westmont 20-28, they still played hard and are ready to smash on the next team that comes their way. Head Coach Herb Espiritu predicts that his team is going to, “play hard [and] better each week” so that they continue to kill their opponents. He also says that his team needs to “work on consistency.” He also says, “ it’s not over yet.” Upcoming games are Mount Pleasant at home and the big Homecoming game against Leland.
Another sport that is starting to rise at Gunderson is the girls varsity volleyball. Led by seniors, Alexa Abraham, Vicky Avalos, and Head Coach Cali Lopez, they have started to change the pace in their season 2-4. They had a rough start, losing to San Jose (2-3), and Del Mar (0-3), Overfelt (0-3), Yerba Buena (2-3), but have turned the heat up and killed Pioneer (3-0), and James Lick (3-1). Students can’t wait to see what they will do in their upcoming games.
More sports that are less focused at Gunderson, but are still just as significant are Tennis and Cross Country. They have both not had many matches or meets but are hoping to draw more people to come and spectate. The Tennis Team led by coaches Ben Ravey and Ron Gibbons have begaun their season after forfeiting two matches because a coach hadn’t been assigned yet. They did lose to Andrew Hill, Sobrato, Del Mar, and San Jose as a team, but are brushing them off and are ready to move on to the next competition. Even though the team lost, some individuals beat their opponents including Rajdeep Kaur with a 2-2 record. Cross Country victorious conquered both Pioneer and Lincolnin their first meet, and have also won their second. Led by Head Coach PJ Daley, the team only consists of six athletes, but those six are very dedicated and have beat their personal bests each week.
Overall our sports are doing great, but would still like to see more students in attendance. Though some of the sports running out of games, don’t think you missed out on Gunderson’s athletics. Coming up for winter sports are wrestling, basketball, and soccer. All the teams are gearing up for their seasons right now, and can’t wait to start their first game. So grizzlies, show some spirit and cheer for your home teams!
