This month, Simon got to attend British Soccer Camp with Challenger Sports thanks to US Family Guide. He loved learning the basics of soccer and he discovered that he’s not bad at playing goalie! One day he blocked the ball with his nose and it hurt, but hey, the other team did not score! The coaches divide the kids into groups of 4 and each group has a country name. Simon was on Ireland. They didn’t win the “World Cup,” but I definitely think he had fun. My favorite part was seeing the kids cheering each other on. Each day the other kids told Simon he did a good job! I also loved seeing the coach, a 20 year old from England, interacting with the kids. He was really good with them!
Simon is the funniest, cutest kid! I hope his birthday dreams are fulfilled!
