Well, today is Tuesday, June 30th. We just finished lunch after a good hard training session. Fairly hot and kids did not respond too well to our conditioning and fitness at the 9 AM training session. Sean played with them to try and show them how they should be playing and at what level. He did quite well with them and it seemed to help a lot. After training we all went to the pool to stretch and relax before lunch. We have another training this afternoon at 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM. We will try to get them to understand our system of play and how to execute it. Shachar Hovan (My Israeli Goalkeeper from Haifa and my BSC Team) is helping each day with the training of our Goalkeepers and he is doing very well with them.



Tomorrow, we will scrimmage the Youth Team, which is the Under 19's,(rising seniors in high school and incoming freshmen in college). It will be good for them. On Thursday, we will scrimmage an Israeli Under 16 team in the early evening.



On Friday, the rest of the US Teams will arrive for pre-camp (touring Israel). Aly will arrive on Friday afternoon. However, she is staying at a different location and I am not sure when Sean and I will see her. Hopefully, we will see her soon. Her competition begins on July 14nd we and 15th. Sean and I plan to attend her competition both evenings and we can't wait to watch her compete. We know she will do great!



Once we start our tours, I will start posting some photographs that Sean will attach, because he has a Digital Camera. I still use my film camera and cannot bring myself to switch to a digital one yet.



We hope everyone is doing well and we miss all of you and my "Gang of Five" (Stach, Cassie, Max, Kol and Kippi)!



Preston and Sean from Israel
