Jake got the letter yesterday confirming his acceptance on the Alaska Olympic Development Program team! He was very nervous about making it, and very relieved to get that letter! We are all very excited that he was chosen. He'll head to Oregon in June/July for the camp. Here's the link to the program, if you'd like to see more about what ODP is. One thing that helps put it in perspective is that only 18 players from his age group in the state of Alaska are chosen...
Martin's team finished the indoor season last week with the best record they've had. They held tryouts for the summer season tonight, and also had some discussions with another team here in town about the possibility of merging. (As boys get into their teens, teams get smaller.) Martin also has tryouts for the Dimond High School soccer team this coming week. He's really enjoying soccer more and more these days.... and we love watching him play! (Of course, skiing is always at the top of his list, and Spring Break is just around the corner!)
Woohoo - way to go Jake! Good luck on your tryouts too, Martin - let me know how it goes :)
