AJAX Camp

This summer, RS participated in a very special football clinic.  The camp lasts one week and is run by Amsterdam's pro football club, Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax (or simply, AJAX Amsterdam). I'm motivated to get out this post today, before RS participates in a one-day fall clinic tomorrow. :-)

The kids play on the sames pitches used by real AJAX players, and get to change in the official dressing rooms and eat in official lunch hall.  One of the mornings, they even had a chance to tour the arena where the professional team competes.

RS trained so hard, and learned so much.  His football skills improved exponentially. It was a tremendous week, and we, the parents, could feel the momentum building as the week went on. We're so proud of RS, and happy he had the opportunity to enjoy this souvenir Amsterdam experience. 

It was an experience made unforgettable because he was able to share it with a dear friend, who moved back to the U.S. a few weeks later.  We love and miss you W!!

Buds!
