The boys from the U.K. found out that Michigan can be hot...hot...hot. U.K. International Soccer camp was held at the Cascade Park, or rather Cascade brown fields this past week. Lack of rain this summer had dried the fields to a state that was not recognizable. High humidity, rain (that we had all prayed about) for 2 out of the 5 days and and temperatures in the 90's did not seem to dampen the fun of the 110 kids who attended. The coaches were all good mates to each other and more than a few little girls and Mom's were taken by their charming English and Scottish accents.
Coaches Jason and Kyle were our guest and we can tell you they worked very hard to make the camp fun for the kids. They were at the field around 8:00 each morning for a camp that started at 9:00. Came home around 12:30 ate lunch and took a quick nap because they had to depart again around 4:00 to teach the 5:00-8:00 skills camp. We waited dinner for them and enjoyed learning more about England and Ireland. On a couple of days the boys even managed a quick dip in the swimming pool.
Timmy thought having the coaches at his house was the best thing since french fries---wait I mean chips. He pronounced himself a real soccer player and is asking to play this fall. Maybe just maybe the boy has found something he is interested in doing.
