These 2 weeks have been the time to go for CCA trials in my school. I have gone for quite a few trials already but 2 days ago it was my worst trial yet.
So as it goes, I went for the squash trials and to my surprise I was the only one there. Anyway, I felt quite nervous when I went in since the squash team (the senior players) was sitting there listening to the coach (or maybe not) while one of the members came to test me.
As I manage to hit quite a few balls during the CCA orientation, I thought I stood a quite a decent chance of being selected. So the guy started serving me balls and they were pretty simple surfs. But.... Guess what? I miss them all except for two which hit the metal botttom of the wall (which in case you do know is out).
I felt humiliated. The rest of the team tried hard not to laugh but I mean who wouldn't at someone with my kind of 'calibre'. I scurried off as fast as I could( well actually I walked off with the remaining dignity I had).
I can't understand why my school has only a competition team for each CCA. I feel that they should also have recreational teams espicially for popular CCAs such as badminton or table tennis. I understand that there are space contraints but 6 people for the badminton team for each level? Honestly, that is way too little. I am sure that table tennis does not have that many people either.
Of course, you just have to face reality and accept whatever the world(as in this case school) has to offer (even if it is not as much as you would like).
