Lorado Taft Pictures

We are back from camp and I believe most of us needed a day to recover from the Lorado Taft Camp this year. It was a great camp! I have posted some pictures through the following link. Lorado Taft Pictures

Day 3 of Lorado Taft, continued

After a very long, physically and mentally challenging day, the team is in its third and final film session. It was a day of hard work. It was a day of physical exhaustion. Of 3 long practices under the hot sun. Of mental and physical endurance. A day of pushing through. A day of giving everything on the field and leaving it all there. And, it's not over yet.

Before it's over, we still have The Bonfire.

Day 3 of Lorado Taft

Day 3 of camp is well underway.

The boys began their day with a run, some sprints, and a sandbag drill. After fueling up with a good breakfast, they started and finished their morning practice under the hot sun. That was followed by lunch and film review from the first practice of the day. The second practice will begin in less than an hour. The boys are staying healthy and drinking plenty of fluids.

Day 2

Day 2 of Lorado Taft was a full one.

Morning practice, afternoon competition time, and an evening Coaches vs. Players 7 on 7.

We are resting up for tomorrow, the toughest day of camp.
