The 8 year old recently completed the local FAI run summer soccer camp. He had a fabulous time and was worn out after the week’s activities.

The camp ran from 10.30 till 3 every day and there were boys and girls from aged 7 to 15 years. We were lucky in that the weather held for the full week so they were outdoors the full time.

Each group was assigned their own trainer and taught different skills. Then the trainers were swapped around. The highlight of the week seems to have been the penalty shootout competition as the winners from each of the age sections fought it out to be the overall camp champion.   

The camp cost €89 and the kit they recieved included Umbro shorts and jersey, shin guards, water bottle, ball and socks. The lads loved the colours this year and it appears to be good quality and will hopefully last for plenty of more wears.

Overall, I thought this was a well run, good value for money summer camp, which the children really enjoyed. He’ll definitely be participating in next year’s one.
