SOCCER CAMP NEWS 
While striving to provide campers with the best opportunities and environment to develop as a player, Dr. Jay Martin's Super Soccer Camp will be tweaking what we have traditionally offered in the past. We are excited to announce that in the summer of 2011 we will be partnering with Wake Forest University to offer our first annual Soccer Academy Showcase. Designed for the college-bound player, our Soccer Academy Showcase will push players and give them a glimpse of what it takes at the elite college soccer level. We will also be offering our traditional residential Super Soccer Camp as we have done in years past. The last week of July we will be offering our Super Soccer Day Camp for players age 8-14 focusing on technique, games and FUN. We hope you will be joining us this summer!
 
 
MESSAGE FROM DR. JAY MARTIN
In the course of my work with Ohio Wesleyan and the National Soccer Coaches Association, I have had the opportunity to travel to several foreign countries as a guest of the National Soccer Federation. I have visited Brazil and Argentina, as well as many European countries including England, Germany, Scotland, Wales, Russia, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland and Austria. After observing soccer coaching sessions in each of these countries, I have compiled the strong points of each into a unique perspective on coaching. This style of teaching provides the means to develop the proper techniques and habits for becoming a truly competitive soccer player. The teaching is done in small groups, allowing each player to be given ample individual instruction.
 

 
ROY RIKE FIELD
The soccer complex at Ohio Wesleyan University is one of the finest collegiate facilities in the country.  Campers enjoy training on one of three practice areas and the lighted game field.  The complex boasts an on-site training room, bleachers for 2700 fans, locker rooms and a concession stand.  Campers meet with Dr. Jay Martin each morning in the stadium for daily announcements and demonstrations.  
 
RESIDENTIAL HOUSING INFORMATION
All campers stay in the air conditioned residence halls.  Campers must provide their own bed linens, towels and alarm clock.  Roommates are assigned at random unless requested on the application.  Campers are supervised by adult staff at all times.  All-you-can eat meals are provided in the newly renovated Smith Dining Hall.
 
CAMP STORE & BANK
To eliminate the need to carry cash, the Super Soccer Camp operates a “camp bank.”  Campers are asked to deposit money (average $40) into the camp bank during check-in.  Then, throughout the week, campers have the option of purchasing ice cold sports drinks, water, snacks, pizza (at night) and Team OWU Adidas gear from the camp store.  The camp staff will record all purchases and tell campers their daily balance.  At the conclusion of camp the balance is returned to the camper.
