Soccer Camp

The boys attended FC Dallas Soccer Camp this week. 

The temperatures soared, but they both ended up having a lot of fun. 

Each got a new ball and shirt, along with a ticket to an FC Dallas soccer game next Saturday (woohoo!).

Here are the boys at the start of the final camp session.


The coaches were all from the FC Dallas's youth development program, which runs up through high school (and has started a few pro careers).





At this age, learning through fun and play are emphasized over competition.


Lukas's group even played some games that didn't even require a soccer ball.


Lennon improved on his dribbling skills.





And Lukas made some new friends. 

He told me that this kid was from San Francisco, and had traveled here to attend the camp.



Here is the final group meeting, and then we were back in the car and heading to dress rehearsal.


Note the two boys looking a bit more red, tired, and over-heated since they arrived :)
