On Friday, June 15, 2015, Language Systems International (LSI) held its annual Soccer Tournament! All four campuses, including the Northeast LA Dragons, Orange County (OC) Surfers, and the South Bay Sharks, participated enthusiastically and cheered their teams on. Everyone wanted to beat last year’s champion, the LA Angels, and take back the trophy to display until next year.
The competition among the schools was fierce. Each school was
represented by students wearing their school colors. The Northeast LA Dragons
wore green, the LA Angels wore yellow, the South Bay Sharks wore blue, and the
OC students wore red.
Each team had been thoroughly prepared by practicing and learning how to work together. This was evident when watching the teams practice on the field before the match. Each team looked disciplined and confident. It was obvious that the teams had put in a lot of hours practicing for the tournament.
In one of the first games, in which the Dragons played the Sharks, the game went into overtime and was decided by a penalty kick. It was a tough game, but Northeast LA was able to come out on top and move on to play in the championship match against the OC Surfers, who had won their first game 4 – 2 against the Angels.
That set up the championship match between the Northeast LA Dragons and the OC Surfers. Each school played strong and with a lot of heart, but in the end, the OC Surfers came away with the championship trophy. Congratulations, OC!
During and after the tournament, students from all four schools had a chance to hang out and make new friends.
After the tournament was finished and the trophy had been
passed on to OC, LSI provided all the students and players with a pizza lunch.
The soccer tournament was a fun event and many students are looking forward to
LSI’s annual Beach party in August. For that event, each school will need to
get a beach volleyball team together to compete for yet another trophy! Mark
your calendars and get ready for another day filled with competition and fun!
