Soccer Camp

And no vacation would be a vacation without football for Eitan. Thanks to Stan, Eitan joins 75 kids, ages 10 to 14, for three hours of evening action, Wednesday to Friday. The well groomed pitches offer sweeping views of the mesa and Rockies. Two-thirds of the players female. Photo by Sonnet.


Me: "I noticed there are a lot of girls playing football."
Eitan: "Yeah, so?"
Me: "What's it like, playing against a girl?"
Eitan: "The same, I guess. .it's not like I care or anything."
Me: "Do you know what a Trojan Horse is?"
Eitan: "No."
Me: "It's from the Illiad. A bunch of Greeks hide in a giant wood horse which is left for the Trojans as a gift. The Trojans take the horse inside their city and, at night, the Greeks sneak out and open the city doors. Boom! They sack the city."
Eitan; "Why are you telling me this?"
Me: "It's kinda like playing with girls on the football squad."
Eitan: "La la la la lalalalalalala . ."
