I'll be blogging only sporadically next week because I'm co-ordinating a youth soccer camp in Mt. Prospect for Green White Soccer Club. It's a German soccer camp sponsored by FC Bayern Munich (European Soccer Champs), the German Consulate, Concordia Language Schools, and Auf Ballhoehe. The campers will learn a little about German culture and a lot about soccer. It culminates on Saturday with an open skills competition for 12-16 year old boys and girls.
Just spreading the word in case anyone is interested in the Saturday event. Click on the photos below to enlarge.
There's more information at the Green White website.
And while I'm at it (on the soccer beat), congratulations to Green White's Over-40 Men's team. They won the 2013 Over-40 Illinois Men's State Cup Championship last night.
They are thinking of starting an over-50 team next year and asked if I'd be willing to play (I turn 50 in a few weeks). I said I'd think about it...but just thinking about it made me tear an achilles. Is it a bad thing when you get winded running two blocks? Would that hinder you at all in a soccer game? I think my playing days need to stay in my rear view mirror.
