Dear All Sports Parents,

&nbsp;

We had an awesome fourth week of camp! This week we played soccer, baseball, handball, matball, and hockey. For soccer, we played World Cup where the group was divided up into teams, taking on countries for their team names as they tried to score in order to advance to the next round and ultimately the championship. Team Uganda, composed of Brett, Sean, and Alex, was a tenacious, unstoppable team as they scored the first goal of every round and advanced to the championship where they won the World Cup. Vincent's speed and hustle enabled him to frustrate attackers and win loose balls. In another game of World Cup, Carter, Kyle, and Steven's scrappiness as well as great teamwork enabled team Spain to win it all. In hockey, Drew sniped in goals on attack. Gavin scored a beautiful top right corner goal. Anna’s solid defensive play was highlighted by stopping a fast break during the winners' bracket game. Abby caused numerous turnovers while playing defense. Matt was a brick wall in goal, turning away shot after shot. John demonstrated great versatility and all around play as he scored on offense, picked off passes on defense, and blocked shots while in goal. In baseball, the campers had some incredible hits. Jackson hit a double far into left field, bringing in a run. Nick blasted the ball into left field and used his savvy base running and field sense to turn what was clearly a double into a triple. Bryan nailed the ball into the outfield, bringing in a run. With a close game and the pressure on, Bobby K. drilled the ball into the outfield to tie the game. Meanwhile in the field, Sammy was all over the place, making the plays to get numerous outs. In handball, Harrison was dominant on offense, scoring several goals. Bobby W. demonstrated stellar defensive play as he made interceptions. Joshua was key in transitions and on the attack as he dished out assists. Jonathan excelled in goal, shutting down the attack with his quick reflexes and great footwork. In matball, Dylan’s hustle enabled him to beat the tag on some close plays. Brandon’s big kicks brought in runs for his team. Eric utilized his speed and game sense to base run extremely effectively. In the pool, Mike shined during water polo. Kade showed off his great swimming and solid technique for all the strokes. During free sport, Jace enjoyed practicing his shot in basketball. On Wednesday, we had a special guest come. John Cassidy, magician, comedian, and balloon animal maker performed at camp. Cassidy had performed at the White House for First Lady Michelle Obama the day before and has previously been on the Late Show with Conan O’Brien as well as the Today Show and Regis and Kelly. He is also featured in the Guinness Book of World Records. Our campers (as well as counselors!) loved the show and numerous All Sports campers were selected to go on stage and be a part of his tricks. We were so lucky to have such an entertaining and renowned guest. We’re looking forward to another exciting and fun week of camp! Hope to see you all next week! <strong></strong>
