Gavin's half-day soccer camp...

Gavin has been loving soccer so much lately that we decided to try out a half-day soccer camp at Boulder Indoor Soccer with him. It seemed like quite a big step for him, as usually he is only there for an hour-long class. I (Brent) like the above picture with the cloth fence in focus and Gavin in the background talking to a coach.

One of the highlights of the camp was that, in addition to the plethora of Gavin's favorite coaches being there, they had a pro soccer player also come to help out. Unfortunately, I can't remember the player's name, but he was super good with the kids; and it was neat to see him out there teaching Gavin. I have to say that after the three-and-a-half hour lesson, Gavin was about as tired as I have ever seen him. In the scrimmages during the last 15 minutes, he was barely moving his feet off of the turf as he shuffled along. It is worth noting that Gavin was perhaps the youngest of all of the 30 kids that were involved in the camp. I love that he has always loved soccer and is often playing with kids much older than he is and yet really holds his own. It's becoming evident that Gavin likes to play defense like his dad.
