    I used to play soccer a lot with my soccer buddies in Los Angeles, Bay Area, Virginia, and Arizona. From 1996 to 2007, I competed in the Grand Tournament of North American Chinese Soccer League on every Labor Day weekend for 11 years, mostly with team Silicon Valley Tigers. It was a great time. After moving to Tucson, I played with team Red Army in the Tucson Metro Soccer League for 4 years. We reached division finals 3 times and won the title of 2008-09 season. The trophy is displayed in the Miss Saigon restaurant at Speedway and Campbell, as one of my teammates works there. Tucson is great for soccer: many fields and players for pickup games, several leagues for formal games, and you can play all year round. However, after a couple of injuries in the last season, I decided that it was enough for my knees and ankles. So I quit soccer in 2010 :-(

    Nowadays I play badminton twice a week with the Tucson Badminton Club and the UA Badminton Club. Except being indoors, badminton is as much fun as soccer, in different ways though. I've been learning it from online turorials, youtube videos, and fellow players. My current goal is to get out of the group stage in local tournaments.
