Twinsmania!: Texas A&M Soccer Camp

During July, Jordan, Taylor and 3 former Dolphins teammates headed to College Station for 5 days of Soccer with one of the best NCAA Girls Soccer Coaching Staffs in the country. It was a difficult week of training but we got great feedback from the kids and had a fun time hanging out in College Station!

Mom & Dad spent the night to check out the sights but a short notice storm messed up our ambitious plans to tour the campus on motorized scooters....

....so we headed to a local landmark (Dixie Chicken) for drinks & pool

Mom sinks the game winning shot in our decisive 3rd match

After dinner we headed to Kyle Field to check out the facilities

12th Man references & statues were everywhere

Back at Calloway Hall there was time to hang with friends and make new ones

The kids got access to Reed Arena for the Euro Championship (England vs Italy) but Taylor used the time to hydrate & recover from the triple sessions

Less then 10 days after camp Jordan exploded in her Fusion debut, scoring on a 25yd Free Kick minutes after entering the match and moments later connected with a teammate on a Corner Kick for a score - in the final day of play, she got her 2nd Assist of the tournament. Unfortunately, Fusion did not advance but Jordan proved she belongs and got us all fired up for the Fall!
