Megan's Soccer Camp

This week Megan has been doing a soccer camp from 9:00 to 12:30 everyday at the park near our house. It's sponsored by a nearby church and the best part....it's free! Lauren has gone to this camp in the past for quite a few years, this year she thought she was too old for it even though the camp goes up to age 14, but it was Megan's first year since they start at age 9. I'm so glad I signed her up even though we didn't know anyone else doing it. She really enjoyed it!

Today they had a scrimmage game that we could come and watch so of course I couldn't miss that! Here she is with a couple of her new friends.
Yes, she did manage to kick the ball quite a few times. I'm so used to watching Lauren play that it was interesting to watch how a bunch of 9 and 10-year-olds play soccer. The whole group of them follow the ball, there's no such thing as positions!

Except for the goalie position, here she is playing goalie.

And here she is being goalie and being scored on!

She let in two goals before they switched and someone else became goalie. Though in Megan's defense she wasn't the only one to let the other team score.

Back to running the field, Megan's trying to get the ball.

They played for about an hour, which was a lot for how hot and humid it was today. Here's the rest of the gang on the sidelines watching.

After the scrimmage game the church had a cookout that everyone was invited to. They had hamburgers, hotdogs, pasta salad, chips, watermelon, cookies and drinks. We stayed to eat but once we were done we were out of there. It was just way too hot to stay and hang out.

Megan had a lot of fun and she got a lot of exercise, hopefully she wants to do it again next year.
