Dear Parents,
<p dir="ltr">We are so excited to have summer 2013 underway at Future Stars Camp! We are happy to welcome back so many familiar faces as well as new ones.This week in All Sports we had a great week to kick off our summer. We played a variety of sports including baseball, kickball, matball, floor hockey, handball, run the bases, capture the flag, tennis, and lacrosse. In all the sports played, good sportsmanship was demonstrated as campers cheered on their teammates, complimented their teammates as well as the opposing team on good plays, helped up campers on the opposing team when they fell, and shook hands afterwards.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Baseball was a group favorite as the campers showed off their skills. Sammy excelled in batting, blasting the ball deep into the outfield everytime. Dan crushed the ball numerous times, making the outfielders chase down his hits. Jonathan fortified the infield with his solid play at short shop. Eric dominated the outfield, making impressive catch after catch. In run the bases, Josh showed off his strong and accurate throw as he played ender. Jackson and Curtis brought their team a late game victory in extra innings in matball through strategic but powerful kicks.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In capture the flag, Samuel led his team in strategic thinking as he created an extremely convincing decoy while the rest of his team hid the flag. After a long and hard fought game, Harrison was able to grab the flag and utilize his speed to escape the campers guarding it, guiding his team to victory. In floor hockey, Carter led his team in defense while Kyle was a force to be reckoned with on offense. Justenn demonstrated solid stickwork and hustle. Greg was a brick wall while goaltending, making it extremely difficult for the other team to score.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In handball, Bobby utilized his quickness in goal, blocking shot after shot. Anna was crucial in transitioning her team to the offensive end, dishing out numerous assists. Nate and Meghana’s hard work in the pool resulted in improved swimming and newly acquired confidence. The All Sports campers were able to try out an additional sport, tennis, as they headed to Immaculata where they participated in a special clinic. Although All Sports did not win cheer day this week despite a great effort, they unofficially came in second and are eager to win the coveted spirit stick next week. We were so impressed by the campers’ enthusiasm for all the sports played and look forward to having them in our group additional weeks this summer.</p>

<p dir="ltr">P.S. As the summer heats up and with us playing sports all day, we recommend having your child bring a water bottle to camp so they can bring it out to the fields to hydrate and refill as the day goes on. We also suggest having your child apply sunscreen before coming to camp and bringing some to camp to apply throughout the day.</p>
