British Soccer Camp

The kids finished up soccer camp tonight. We tried out the British Camp this year vs the MSU one that Kohen did last year. We really liked and it will sign up again next year. Kohen isn't happy it's only once each year. This, of course, was Kresee's 1st camp and experience with any soccer. She only had to go 5-6:00 every night and Kohen went from 5-8:00. Luckily this evening was nice weather and it was enjoyable watching them. Here are pictures from the week. Since I was helping with Papa's funeral stuff I wasn't there the entire 3 hours every night but I did get to see them plenty:)

 

First evening of camp

 

 Kohen and Adam got to be in a group together.

 And little sisters, Audrie Kate and Kresee, were together. These girls will be on the same team this Fall.

 The coaches were soooo good with these little kids. They had so many fun, cute games to keep them entertained yet still teach them basic soccer skills. The first night during a water break there was a grasshopper sitting next to me on the bleachers. Since Kresee is obsessed with bugs and animals she loved watching it. I had to coax her to go back out on the field vs hang out with the grasshopper. When Kerry asked her later that night what was her favorite thing about camp that evening she said "seeing that grasshopper". I have a feeling this Fall when she is playing for real, we might have the flower picker, butterfly chaser, etc vs soccer player--haha...

 

 

 Kohen's first night...They did different drills and then split them up into countries to scrimmage. His team was China and had to wear blue the rest of the week.

 Last day of camp

 After she was done, I went and watched Kohen his last 2 hours....

 

 

 It was pretty awesome. Each night they picked a MVP for the evening from each group. Kohen received it both on Wednesday and Thursday. And then tonight they picked 3 MVP's for the entire camp; one for each age group. He GOT it for his group and he was so excited!!! He really did work hard. And the best part was that all 3 MVPs were all from China and so they won the overall World Cup for the week for the most points accumulated all week!

 

 Here is my little MVP for all the 6, 7 and 8 year olds!!!!

 Getting his sheet to tell him what he did well on and what he needs to continue to work on.

 Coach Gerarld and Kohen. He really loved Kohen and all these coaches were so great with the kids. Kerry and I think we would love to host one of these guys next year. I don't know where they would sleep but we think it would be a lot of fun:)

Great job to both kids. You continue to make us so proud!
