Women's Soccer/Men's Soccer

Saturday 20, 2008

Today I worked the men's and women's soccer. The first game was the men's soccer game against Southeastern. My duties were to be the score/time keeper. Stop the clock when told to and to issue the scoring team a point. It was just like when I first started working soccer games except this time it isn't my first time.

With the women's soccer game against Lynchburg, my duties were to input all the data into the computer. Nothing new was learned just reviewed. I feel just a few more times and I will be able to see a foul and input the data before anybody can tell me.

Next game for me is on Saturday September 27, 2008. Women's Soccer against Ferrum

September 17, 2008 Men's Soccer and Volleyball

Wednesday, September 17, 2008 what a day. My job at the soccer site was PA and putting in the data. With PA I was announcing the starting players and explaining all about good sportsmanship. This was the first time I ever did anything like this. Even though nobody could still I was nervously shaking. I know with more practice I will be able to do it with ease. The data I was inputting was all the same as last time. Inputting fouls, shots, offsides, and if a card was issued. I believe my supervisor wants me to be able to do this without any help. With more time in doing this I will be able to.
Volleyball: I had no clue what to expect with volleyball. It really is a fast paced sport. My duties were to announce diggs, assists, attacks, and kills. My supervisor input all the data as I called out the game. At first I was witnessing how to run volleyball. After a few times I gave it a shot. There is no room for error because everything happens so fast. What else lies for me in volleyball; I don't know. I will find out next game. My next game will be soccer this coming up Saturday.

Men's Soccer - 3:30 - 6:00
Volley Ball - 6:30 - 8:45

Womens Soccer

On Saturday September 13, 2008 I was working the Women's soccer game. My duties were to input the data from the game. For instance, if a foul was commited I had to put it into the computer. Same went for shots, goals, offsides, substitutes , and if cards were issued. This was very new to me. Next time I will be working soccer again but after soccer I'm gonna work a Volleyball game too. We will find out Wednesday what will happen.

September 10, 2008 Men's Soccer

Today was my first on with my internship with Kirbie Britt. I was so nervous that I was walking very slowly toward the job site. When I arrived I walked into the small office behind the soccer field and I was greeted by Kirbie and other employees. I sat down in a seat and was handed a time/score keeper papers. I was to work the time and score board. I read over the papers several times and was hoping I didn't screw up on anything. I had to set the time for 45 minutes of game play. If a goal was scored I had to stop the clock and award a point to the team that scored. All was done on a electronic board in front of me. Push a button to stop or resume time and pushed another to add a point. It was an easy duty but nerve recking because I was so new to this field. I plan to work another soccer game this coming up Saturday. I do not know if my job duties will be different or the same. I'll find out on Saturday.
