- The Huntington University men’s soccer team partnered with
Mainstreet Church in Walbridge, Ohio, to host the Onside Soccer
Camp. Two coaches and 23 players worked with 86 children, ranging in
age from four to 13. The children participated in drills, games and
team time activities. The camp, held Aug. 11-14, is the second one
the team has organized for the church and the community.
 “Not
only do we share the game of soccer, but we also have an opportunity
each night to share our faith with the children,” said Russ Lawson,
head coach of the Huntington men’s soccer team. “This stretches most
of our players and moves them out of their comfort zones. This week
also allows us to learn more about each other and prepare for the
season with a handful of training sessions.” Lawson added that Cathy
Burson, children’s ministry director for Mainstreet Church, and her
staff volunteers “do an amazing job of taking care of us.” |
