Stevo started a two week football camp on Tuesday at Coronado High School. The camp is being put on by the El Paso Tribe sports organization. Great camp so far. Lots of drills, well-organized, nice job of motivating kids and teaching them the basics of football. Day one focused on footwork and conditioning. Stevo looks small compared to other nine year olds. Have to wonder what the heck they are feeding some of those kids. They look like they could play on the freshman team right now. He did well and hustled through all the stations. Really proud of him for giving his all and not complaining about the running or the workout. The price for the camp can't be beat. They only charged thirty dollars for a six day quality camp. You can't find a better, more affordable camp anywhere else in the city. Some of the three day basketball camps are charging $100 and up. Next week the camp will be held on the Coronado football field. Stevo will get to play on turf. He is excited about playing at a high school stadium. I am still debating whether to let him put on the pads and play full contact football in the fall. Think he still is way too small but maybe he has more heart than I am giving him credit for. Still not sold on the idea that this is such a good thing for the body. Seen too many injuries in high school and don't want him to get sidelined with a big injury so early. There are plenty of flag football leagues in the city and might just stick him in one of these leagues so he can work on the basics. Man, this kid is growing so fast. Middle school will be right around the corner. Where in the world does the time go? Really happy with the decision to sign him up with this organization. Really good stuff so far.
