SOCCER CAMP NEWS
Dr. Jay Martin's Super Soccer Camp is excited to announce that in 2010 we will be making some changes to our camp offerings. Because of overwhelming demand in recent years for our youth-aged camp, we will be offering a second week of Super Soccer Camp for ages 8-14. Also, 2010 will mark the first summer where we will be holding our College Prep Camp. The College Prep Camp is designed for high school-aged players with the desire to play and succeed at the next level. Please click on the appropriate brochure for more detailed information about our camps.
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.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CAMP
Sessions I and II of the 2010 Youth Development Camp will be identical and feature an environment where players will be challenged, motivated, rewarded and where they will have fun. There will be a morning session focusing on technique and the theme of the day and an afternoon session working on tactics. The evening session will be our camp tournament with players and their teams competing against other teams in their age group. Teaching is done in small groups, allowing each player to be given ample individual instruction.
COLLEGE PREP CAMP
Dr. Jay Martin's College Prep Camp has been designed with the notion that it takes more to play soccer in college than soccer! At our high-school aged camp we will help develop players to be successful at the next level in the classroom and on the field. Camp will focus on the areas of soccer, academics and fitness- all of which are critical to making an impact at the next level. At the conclusion of camp all players will leave with specific areas to focus their improvement on in a detailed evaluation from our staff.

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.
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.
