Virtual Soccer Camp Tuesday Session

MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING RECAP


After Monday’s main session in the morning, two more brief sessions began at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. In both sessions, Kristin Van Lenten led a game of Nearpod trivia and Ezequiel Montes followed up by explaining how breakout group rooms work before everyone broke out into separate rooms based on their ages.


MUSIC


Ben and Carrie Brown, along with their friend Genesis, led the singing with Prince of Peace and Counting Every Blessing.

MESSAGE


Diego Mendieta shared his testimony in a message he entitled “Our Living Hope in Jesus.” As Diego grew up, he had no interest in spiritual things and switched between being an atheist and an agnostic. While on a trip to Bolivia, his father became saved and when he returned, the Mendieta family began attending Fifth Avenue Chapel in Belmar, New Jersey. Diego noticed a very positive change that took place within his family after becoming saved, but he still did not pursue a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Diego’s family wanted to send him to a soccer camp at Kutztown University and he really wanted to go to get away from his family. However, he did not know of the camp’s connection to the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) until after he arrived. Although initially dissatisfied with the camp’s connection to Christianity, Diego later surrendered his life to Christ at that camp.

SOCCER TACTICS AND SKILL TRAINING


John Jones discussed a passing drill which Mark Pennisi then demonstrated alongside a group of guys from camp. The drill involved two teammates passing the ball back and forth through a pylon by using the inside of the left or right foot. Once comfortable, Mark explained the next level of the drill which involved two touch-passes in between each pylon and switching which foot to pass with after a few consecutive passes. 


John and Mark then explained the next drill which was the “Star Drill.” This involved a group of teammates moving around in a star-like formation and passing with the inside of their foot to each other while simultaneously communicating their passing with each other.


John’s final words included the golden rule of passing which is: “Pass unto others as you would have them pass unto you.”


Lisa Agate discussed two passing drills that her sons Robby, Max and Ethan demonstrated. The first drill involved players passing to one another and moving around in a square. A potential fourth player would act as the defender in the middle of the square. 


The second drill involved three players lining up in a straight line and switching between long and short passes to each other. After a while Lisa told them to switch from two-touch passes to one-touch passes.


CRAFTS


Kristin discussed the craft for Tuesday which was a choice of salt painting and/or rainbow pudding popsicles. For the salt painting, the campers were instructed to get a design in mind, draw or trace it with glue, sprinkle with salt, let it dry and then paint. For the rainbow pudding popsicles the campers were instructed to make the pudding, add the colors in layers and then freeze.


VERSE OF THE DAY


but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.


Isaiah 40:31
