Worked a soccer camp with the Erie Boys and Girls Club. This took place on the campus of Penn. State- Behrend on their brand new turf soccer facility. They were disadvantaged kids who had never played soccer before and it was my job to educate them and hopefully have a few of them join the Erie Admirals Youth set up. The camp went for 3 days from 9-12 and at the conclusion 3 kids had signed up to the Admirals. This camp was a lot of hard work as not many of the kids had any interest in soccer, so the concentration levels faded very quickly. To combat this we just had to introduce basic playground games into our sessions to keep the kids laughing and smiling so that when we switched to soccer drills they would all be happy to do so. This event was sponsored by Burger King, the Erie Admirals major sponsor, so all the kids were extremely happy getting a kids meal at the end of the day.
i loved working with these kids, but it was sad hearing some of their stories. These kids had a lot going in their life, especially for how young they were so it was nice to be able to work with them, and put a smile on their faces.
We also set up through the Erie Admirals NPSL club a day where all proceeds of ticket sales and concessions would go towards the Erie Boys & Girls Club.
