Soccer In Self-Isolation

Hello! My name is Logan Wickstone and I’m a grade 8 student at Seycove Secondary. I am in a program called PLP where we do all of our work on iPads and go on fields studies; sounds pretty fun right. As you can probably tell I enjoy playing, watching and basically doing anything related to soccer. I play for Mountain United as a centre back and wear the number 4. I hope you enjoyed my photoessay on soccer during lockdown and hopefully the season continues. 

Due to the coronavirus, all teams have stopped practicing which means they don’t see each other much; this is unhealthy for sports teams so having zoom calls is a great solution. Our team is connecting every Monday which helps keep the love of the game. 

As well as watching games from months ago, people have started playing FIFA 20 on their consoles. When no games are being played live, resorting to FIFA is the nearest thing. It is also a great way to communicate with people all around the globe and see how they are coping with COVID-19. 

Both Windsor field and Bubble have been closed to everyone but are hoping to open again soon. Many teams play here, including mine, so seeing it close to everyone is a shame.

Myrtle Park fields have been closed due to the coronavirus. These fields are great places to play soccer, or any other activities and stay fit. This has been a very popular field for me as well as others. I used to like coming here to practice running instead of the road because it gives the most in game like feel. 

Since no games are being played at the moment, soccer fans have started watching entertaining games to feel like the season is still going on. (P.S. press the middle of the photo)

The Ambleside fields have started to reopen but have to be used with caution, this is what people want to hear. Although the field is now open, the goalposts and nets are still locked up.

These three dates are very important to the soccer community. They are the dates that football supposedly returns. Unfortunately the French League will not be continued but all English football is what most people are looking forward to. As of the time I’m writing this, the Bundesliga will return in 2 days. This is fantastic news to any soccer fans. 

William Griffin field hasn’t been closed and is open for anyone but is used at your own risk. The goalposts have been locked up to help prevent the spread of the virus.
