Summer Camp '13

Thursday, August 22, 2013


     The Summer has come to an end and the children are back to the once daily routine of waking up and going to school. Its terrible but we have to get it done one way or another. This past summer camp was a success from having most of the students in the regular program come in the summer to the mass amount of volunteers we had. Everything went according to plan and flowed very smoothly. As a coach I can say that this summer was one of the best that have been held; children were behaving and while adding a little spice to the program, and helping one another which was such a sight to see! The soccer games were intense; they were often won by a goal or tied at 0-0.
     We were fortunate enough to be invited to attend a Chivas USA game versus Toronto FC at the StubHub center. All of the children were excited to see Chivas live; especially with their seats extremely close to the field. After receiving an amazing  pass from Bowen, Erick “Cubo” Torres took two steps before unleashing a beauty of a shot to put Chivas ahead 1-0. All of the children were going crazy from the excitement of Chivas scoring and winning 1-0 over Toronto FC.
     The last day of camp is a sad day, the students enjoy the last two weeks of summer break all to themselves. We don't let them leave just like that though. Oh no. We threw a party for them; Both parents and coaches united to plan out something special for the kids. And as it turned out, everybody had a blast! throwing water balloons, playing soccer, having a lot of food, LA Galaxy accuracy games, and a DJ to put the final touches. Everybody left with a smile, from the kids in Junior SCORES to the volunteers and parents.
     This years summer camp was a complete success and I'm sure i speak for everybody when i say nobody can wait for the next one to come.
