Writting final project

For my final project I decided to immerse myself in soccer culture at Montana Tech. The team gathers to play every Sunday night. This culture is a combination of number of different cultures from all over the world, where people speak different languages, have different belief and religion, but on the soccer field that speak only one language, soccer. There are a lot of good player in the team, however I’m not good at playing soccer but I want to join the team to learn how to play soccer and also learn and adapt in such a unique culture.
I’m trying to follow the guideline from instructor along with knowledge that I learn from Intercultural Communication class to explore this co-culture of Montana Tech culture.
Cultural characteristic:
1. Language: surprisingly language in soccer culture is a nonverbal language not a verbal language. That explain how player around the world can be transferred to a new team, new place where he cannot communication using his language but he can play along quite well. The language using here in form of leg movement, and sometime eyes contact. This language sometimes can be a cultural marker for team member to distinguish between member within a group or outside the group depends on how well the player communicates with the others.
2. Values: in soccer, players value honesty, fairplay, and sportsmanship. On the field, if somebody gets hurt, they will stop the ball and not resume the game until they ensure the play has been taken care of. Within a team, when on individual has a score and he has a second chance but his partner doesn’t he will try to give the ball his partner more and hopefully he also has a goal.
3. Interest: the team gets together on the weekend to see friends, having a good time, exercising and trying to be healthy.
