Well, this is both mine and Preston's favorite week every Summer. It's the third Summer that we've done the British Challenger Soccer Camp. It is such a fun time for the kids and the adults! I just can't talk high enough about it. They always have the most amazing set of coaches every year - most of them are British, but some Scottish, South African... just a great group of young guys and girls that LOVE what they do! They make the week all about teaching them soccer through fun games, silly cheers and TOTAL TEAMWORK! It's a huge camp, there were at least 200 kids there and they say this is their biggest camp all Summer, every year - WOW!
Above is Preston with his team - "TEAM SWANSEA". Of course, I had never heard of Swansea City before... apparently it's a great professional team in Whales. They had to dress up in their team colors every day and played scrimmages against other "pro" teams.
Here is Preston getting his shirt signed by his wonderful coach, "Coach Mike"!
And every day the coaches give them "homework" and on this day, can you guess it - dress up your coach day! It was hilarious.... what good sports - it was literally 102 degrees outside!
Above is Preston with his friend, Caroline, who is also our neighbor. She was at the camp too and we had fun riding to camp with her in the mornings. The kids were loaded with lots of water and sunscreen! These pictures above and below are on the last day where they had to make a team jersey and flag and could do face paint, hair paint, etc... I tried my hand at the jersey! Preston loved it! And I did my best to paint a swan on his face below... it was hot though, and his nose kept itching! Hee hee!
Until next Summer.... game on!
