We started off our day with a casual training with a local team from a foundation called Fundacol, which works in a similar way as Fútbol Más in Chile, but Fundacol has both a recreational and a competitive program. The team we worked with is their highest level team that plays in the local competitive league. We integrated drills and did a mixed scrimmage at the end. It rained on and off throughout the practice, and the foggy weather reminded us of San Fran.
We then went to a mall for a light lunch and popsicles. After lunch, we drove to the GolStar fields to play a match against their U17 team. The two sides were equally matched, and we worked through the altitude issues to compete and work together to play.
After a quick stop at the hotel, the team went to another mall to watch Finding Dory and get dinner. It was great, and was a welcome way to end the strenuous day.
TOMORROW WE GET A DAY OFF FROM FROAM ACTIVITIES AND GET TO EXPLORE BOGOTA A BIT MORE.
End of day—we out
