Spring Break is right around the corner(kick). :) Are you looking for something fun and exciting for your child to do during Spring Break? Join Professional Soccer Player and Junior Academy Director, Kat Tarr – who has played for the Portland Thorns FC as well as German Bundesliga – for three days of soccer training at the Washington Timbers Spring Break Camp April 5-7, 2016 from 9 am to 11 am at the new turf field at Harmony Sports Complex.
When my kids were younger, I remember a friend telling me the best thing I could do for them (and me) was to “Avoid the Void.” You know, the… “I have nothing to do”… so they go and find something to do… and it might not always be the best option. So, when they were interested in a sport, I looked for Spring Break Camps and Summer Camps, and our local sports clubs. And they learned a lot about sports; but they learned a lot more about LIFE.
At this Timbers camp, Boys and Girls ages 5-10 will receive individual player development with ball mastery focus from professional players and coaches, 30-minutes of warm-up, 1-hour of skills training and 30-minutes of small sided games. Cost is $75 per player and all camp participants will also receive a commemorative T-shirt. Space is limited, so if you are interested, please visit Washington Timbers or click here for registration information.
What does participating in sports teach our kids? It teaches them how to work well with others and be a good team mate/friend. It helps them find an inner strength they did not know they had on the days they are “too tired” to go to practice, but honors their commitment and goes anyways. It teaches them to make goals and that they have the ability in them to accomplish those goals. It teaches them that success does not happen overnight, but takes hours and hours of hard work and practice. It teaches them how to budget their time to accommodate both school work and physical exercise. It gives them the opportunity to make life long friendships and develop attributes that will serve them well their whole life.
Now, get out there and have some FUN!
