As soon as the teams set foot on the blue turf. Encouragement filled the air making the children grin wide with happiness. They jumped into their position nervousness coming over there body, the referee blew his black whistle and the game had started teammates started running after the little solid ball their sticks swung fiercely hitting the opponents. Sweat dripping down their rosy cheeks from all the hard work. The smell of the fast food wafted up their noses making their mouths water as they carried on playing.

You did a really good job, I really enjoyed reading it and I could visualise it. you only needed to add a metaphor or a simile but even without one it was still very good how you described it :)
