The girls did a week long football camp with some coaches from AC Cesena Italian professional club. Out of the 50 kids, only 4 of them were girls. My daughters, and some friends that happen to be sisters from Boston. They had a great time and it was amazing how you can learn and take direction from coaches that only speak Italian.
The coaches were so good to the girls and very impressed with their skills and tenacity. Coach Davide Cicognani was the fitness coach for the Italian Olympic team. Coach Fabrizio Zoffoli was the coach of the 2000AC Cesena team, and Ivo Ferrari is a goalkeepers coach. He trained the Japanese woman's goalkeeper the year they beat the US women for the World Cup. They all have an outstanding résumé and I feel so lucky that my girls were able to be trained by them for a week.

| I'm not sure about this but why does it look like Ella is screwing around in every picture???? |

| This man's son is the reason for this camp. He lives here in Beijing, but his oldest son is the goalie on the U16 men's Italian National team.....coached by Ivo. Amazing to watch him. He was here training with his younger brother and the rest of the kids. |
