Focus Sports Camp 2010 - Day 1 (AM Session)

We had a fantastic first morning of sports camp.  The kids, parents, coaches, blue shirt people and excellent weather all pulled together to make it an outstanding day!  The schedule mixes together skills and drills, snack time, devotion time and of course with warm weather, plenty of water breaks!

Here's a glimpse of today's morning session:

Sports are a great way to promote teamwork, develop positive attitude and self-esteem.  At Focus Sports Camp, we also spend time learning the life skills that God teaches us through His Word, the Bible.

Today's devotion time was centered around Psalm 18:2 "the Lord is my Rock, my Protector and my Savior". 
We also studied Matthew 7:24-27 which includes Jesus saying "Everyone who hears these things I say and obeys them is like a wise man.  The wise man built his house on the rock, but the person who hears the things I teach and does not obey them is like a foolish man.  The foolish man builds his house on sand."
The coaches and kids talked about these Bible verses and how they apply to our lives.  We ended with this prayer "Thank you God for being the strong Rock that we can build our life upon!"

We can't wait for Focus Sports Camp day two!  Come back tomorrow to check out the day two video!
