A girls’ soccer camp was taking place Tuesday at Tobin Heath Field in Basking Ridge, where a sign calls her a “hometown inspiration.”
The participants say the World Cup championship added even more excitement to this week’s training.
“One of my favorite players is Tobin Heath, and I thought it was a really good game, and it was exciting to see them play and play as a team and be able to win the World Cup for a second time in a row,” 14-year-old Katie Keefe said.
“She has so good foot skills that she just gets by people so easily,” 8-year-old Elle Lyver said.
Eight-year-old Lily Schweighertt says they work on those same skills at their camp.
“We do a lot of passing and we jog a lot,” she said.
