The second week was definitely a blast. With more than 80 campers, camp was busy with lots of games and activities to help promote athletic ability. Kids ran obstacle course relays, and played running bases, scatterball, monarch, and trench dodgeball. Friday featured our "Color Games II" with Coach Stanley's Red Storm pulling out a narrow victory.

More than 65 campers participated in our athletic development coaching sessions, obstacle course training, and a huge variety of sports including scooter soccer, foam hockey, and soccer kickball.
We ended the week with our first annual Color Games Team Challenge. Green Machine coach Charly Sanon lead the way with his personality and unique hairstyle.

We have just completed our second week of Sandlot Camp and it's obvious that we are having another great summer at Saint Thomas Aquinas College.
The first week was a Sandlot Basketball Camp. Pat Buckley, Billy Downes, Charly Sanon, and Stanley Francois did an unbelievable job with the more than 50 kids who attended.
Kids learned how to run, jump, stop and cut from Mike. Then Pat & Billy worked on their shooting, ball handling, and defense. They finished with lots of games to finish off the day!
The Sandlot Stars 3rd season of summer sports camps is well underway! It is without a doubt the best year we have had so far. We have the perfect amount of kids (60-80), a tremendous staff, and great new programs that have the kids really excited.
We also have 2 full-time adult coaches, Billy Downes and Pat Buckley joining us this summer. They are excellent basketball coaches who will be heading up our new basketball development school in the fall.
Our new junior counselor training program features six of the best young people a coach could ever hope to have on his or her team. Chris Trainor, Michael Matteo, Brian Downes, John Feinberg, Joe Solicito, and Lauren Narode are this years junior crew. They are all former campers who attended Sandlot Camp for 2 years prior to becoming counselors this summer.
Our college coaches are once again the entire reason for the success that our camp enjoys. Jessie Kirsch returns as our camp manager. Jessie is in charge of keeping my head on straight, which is no easy task! Charly Sanon is my assistant director. Charly is so talented athletically but his energy and sense of humor seal the deal with the kids. Stanley Francois, Gladimir Sanon, Jess Gogatz, John Errico, and Gigi Guercy round out our awesome staff of sports coaches for 2008.
My thanks to all of them for their hard work and great enthusiasm with the kids!
