Blog 2: Great Sports Time at Reed’s during My First Week Stay

In my first week at Reeds. I had to do a lot of things. On Tuesday, after school lessons had finished Phillip and I joined the training of the Second Hockey Team. They are about our level and we joined them again on Friday. On Wednesday we had a very exhausting day.  First we had school. This was no problem, but on Wednesday school ends earlier and then you have a whole afternoon for sport games.  During this term everybody had to play hockey with games. After the hockey training, Phillip and I played tennis together for one hour and then we had another hour of tennis training. After the tennis we went directly to the Gym and trained for another hour. On Thursday after school I had to rest a bit, because on Friday I was allowed to once again participate in the training of the Second Hockey Team.  After the hockey training we went directly to the gym and in the evening we played football with some other boarders. On Saturday I was allowed to join the hockey match of the Third Team. The match went well and we won 1-0. Just after the match, when you shake hands, they do something so funny. They shout during the handshaking “Cheers for Reeds, cheers!, cheers!, cheers!’’.  The team that plays home always needs to do that, and after the match you have to go to their School building and just eat and drink something. It has been a very nice week and everybody is very friendly to us. Tomorrow I will play paintball with a group of boarders this is. Every Sunday they do an activity like this.
