On this day, I visited the Dongmeister High School playground, the soccer league stadium. <굿모닝충청>What greeted them were student athletes who were warming up with bright smiles while taking off their masks.

As the shadows cast over the school grounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic were lifted, it was a realistic moment that the bright laughter of the students returned to their place.

When the match between Dongmeister High School and Daejeon Life Science High School started in the first order, the students began to run around the field chasing the ball with serious expressions on their faces, just like the pros.

In particular, the students showed off their skills to the fullest, not caring about the drizzle getting their clothes wet. During the game, he showed what sportsmanship is like by extending his hand to an opposing player who had fallen due to a competition for possession of the ball or asking for a handshake.

Hoarse your throat, Kang Sang-joon, a physical education teacher at Dong-Meister High School who coached the students, said, “Through the Toss League, my school life, which had shrunk, has regained vitality,” expressing expectations for various sports activities that will continue in the future.

“When you interact with other schools through this league, students come out and practice on their own. While trying to match together, we continued to practice not only on Saturdays but also on weekdays, and school life, which had been shrunk due to Corona 19, was revitalized.

(Through Toss League) It seems that the students learned to be considerate of others while having a competitive spirit while playing games with other schoolmates, while strengthening teamwork with each other.

In addition, it seems that students have graduated without learning basic etiquette and consideration for others, such as the use of profane language increasing due to many non-face-to-face classes due to Corona 19.

However, as COVID-19 came to an end, students met each other, met other schoolmates face-to-face, and met teachers constantly, so their attitude and tone changed for the better.

It was an opportunity to learn how precious it was for students to experience various activities face-to-face like the Toss League, and I look forward to the future.”
