A little about myself:
I am [as of the date of this post] 21 years old. My parents were both born in Australia (my late mother was Aboriginal), and one set of grandparents were born in Sicily (the non-Aboriginal ones :P ) I, however, was born in New York City, in Little Italy. I played a bunch of sports starting when i was 11, and took up football (the real kind, with a round ball) when i was 13, as a goalkeeper. I'm pretty good, and played semi-professionally last year.
I began to referee Basketball when i was 14. I tried to enter courses for American Football, but was denied for being under the age of 18. When i turned 18, i began training to become an American Football referee, which i am still doing to some extent, although my primary focus is Football.
Tomorrow evening is a big day, as it will be the conclusion of training, meaning i will receive my first badge! It's only an American Youth Soccer Organisation Local Badge, but it's a start!
