BRHS Students and coaches hope to score big on the Soccer Field by Cayson Potter and Addistyn Burrup2/15/2024 As the warm weather is coming up, spring sports are also gearing up to start their season.
A Junior at Bear River High School, Camron Norton plays defense for the soccer team. Having an indoor gym definitely gives the soccer team an advantage against other teams because some high schools like Box Elder do not have an indoor gym to practice in. ”We mostly practice dribbling, certain drills with short time passes,” Cameron says. He says his soccer goals for this year are to try and become a team captain, and to start in all of his games and play varsity. He and his team hope to compete with the Cache Valley teams and do well this soccer season. He also says that balancing playing soccer, having a home life as well as school work can get really difficult at times. Kelson Hale also plays defense on the high school soccer team. When at open gym he practices the fundamentals like passing so he can move the ball around to his teammates and work as a team. His goal for this season is to be able to help the team as much as possible. Shawn, who is BRHS soccer coach, said that it’s not easy being a coach and also wanting to spend time with family. “With juggling life, it’s just making sure you prioritize the most important things each day. I'm never just on the couch doing nothing. Being busy is part of who I am. But it's hard juggling my family, my wife, work, and soccer”. He said that getting players to learn the new plays for the season is easy because it’s not like other sports that are played here. “Soccer really doesn't have new plays such as football or basketball. We teach fundamentals and formation through demonstration and reputation until they learn the concepts. We encourage players to practice outside of training.” Shawn said, “ Having the Bear Center is definitely an advantage for spring sports. The disadvantage is that we have multiple teams and local clubs who are fighting for the time in the Bear Center”. The soccer team practices so they stay in shape all year and they will be ready when tryouts start, says Coach Miller. Some players play soccer year round on competitive teams and travel around for tournaments to help them get better. They just want to play, have fun, and have lasting friendships. Coach Miller has open gym sessions every Tuesday night from 5:30pm to 7:30pm and on Thursday nights from 6pm to 8pm.
