Ava's First Soccer Camp

All this week Ava has been participating in a soccer camp at the Solanco High School soccer fields coached by UK Soccer. All of the coaches are from the United Kingdom and spend their entire summer coaching 3 year olds through high school the fundamentals of soccer. The numbers were low for the squirts (3 & 4 year olds), so they combined the squirts with the nippers (5 & 6 year olds). Ava was one of three squirts amonst the rest of the nippers and she loved every moment of it.

Each day was filled with game style drills like fox and hound, fish and crabs in the sea and soccer ball roadway. They learned the very important rule of soccer GOOD FEET, BAD HANDS!

Ava really enjoyed Coach Joe who was so silly

The final day of camp the kids received a certificate. Ava is looking forward to next summer, so she can stay an hour longer and go on a bathroom break with the nippers.
