Soccer Camp

So this past week was Avery's first ever day camp.  It felt so monumental for some reason.  It feels like our whole lifestyle is changing right now.   With Avery starting Kindergarten next month, it seems our family focus is shifting once again.  
Avery attended Dave O'Briens Summer Soccer Skills camp.  It was four evenings last week which was nice b/c AJ was able to come.  It felt strange sending him out to sit with that group of kids he didn't know from Adam.  But, he did great.  
This first picture is the first night of camp.  He's right in the middle with the navy blue shirt on.  Coach Dave was welcoming them to camp.  After that they broke into groups based on age.  Avery was in a group of 5-6 year olds.  I was really impressed with the camp.  They really focused on skills and drills which he didn't get a ton of on city league soccer.

Every time there was a water break, Finley would run up and say "Good Job Avery!" , hand him his water bottle, and give him a hug. :)  
Finley had a lot of fun watching Avery play and running around kicking his own soccer ball.  He also managed to find other little boys to kick the ball with throughout the week.  He is looking forward to starting "first touch" soccer this fall.  He's spent the last few years watching Avery play.  It will be fun to see how he likes it.  He's already pretty good at kicking the ball around.

It was a fun week.  Now this week we have swim lessons so I'm sure I'll have pictures to post on that as well! Pin It
