They call me spike


This week Lucas attended the Ray-Pec soccer camp. The high school coach and the varsity team members put on a camp all week for the kids to attend to learn more about soccer and some very cool soccer tricks. Lucas has been very excited all summer to attend. He has taken on a sudden interest in soccer and thinks it would be pretty cool to play.
He really picked up quickly to what they were teaching and even got the nick name Spike. That was because of his awesome hairdo.
Yeah, that is Lucas on the ground trying to save the ball for his time. Apparently learning no hand contact is a touch thing for him to pick up on.
Here is Lucas and his good buddy Noah. They were so excited to find out they were going to be on the same team this night. Noah could not believe Lucas had never played soccer before.
Lucas loved being goalie. He said after the first night he could not believe they ran all the time after the same ball. He came home the second night and said he figured out that the goalie does not to run so much and that they get to dive on the ground and can touch the ball.


But this was the best part of being goalie. They got to kick the ball. He loved the kicking.


Have a feeling we will be giving soccer a try in the early spring before baseball starts. The rest of us will try to spend our time getting as excited as Addi and Lucas are.
