Tonight was Jasmine's first night of Soccer Camp with the Chandler Parks and Recreation. The coaches are from a company called Sportball. They have camps for all age kids and all types of sports. Each of the camps are called "Sportball", but each has a specialty, for example... Sportball-Soccer, Sportball-Baseball, Sportball-Golf. At each camp, they work with all kinds of balls, but focus on one type of ball over the week's time. Tonight they used tennis balls, slightly larger balls, a tether ball to practice running and jumping over and around it, and of course most of the time was spent on playing soccer. They learned to properly kick the ball, stop it with their foot, and dribble.... and they were never allowed to touch it with their hands:).
There are 5 boys and 4 girls in the class. The soccer class apparently is the most popular thanks to Dora the Explorer, who apparently plays soccer. I am sure if Dora starts playing golf or some other sport, those camps will be more crowded too!
Parents were not invited:(, which I hadn't anticipated, so I didn't bring anything to read or do. I *was* able to peek thru the windows and take a couple of photos which turned out very dark. At the end of the camp, there will be a soccer game between parents and kids. Ha.....
