Soccer

I have never liked soccer until this summer. I really learned how to play goalie well. I tried to learn how to do everything. I figured out that I can kick a soccer ball pretty far considering I learned to kick one this year.

Soccer goals are pretty big and hard to cover.

442

I also learned how to help position players so that the team that I am playing for has a better chance.

 

 

 

Archery

I went to sleep away camp for 7 weeks. I was surprised that one of the main things that I was interested in was Archery. I had never really liked archery before.

I am really glad that I tried archery. All of my archery was done at Camp Cedar, it is in Casco, ME

When I shot a 136 I had all of my shots in the yellow area. It’s really hard to do that. My average shot was 9.067.
