While the students have gone for the summer, ONU Women's Soccer is still busy with a few special events. Just this past weekend the 2nd Annual ONU High School Residential Camp took place on campus. The program played host to 20 high school aged soccer players from in and out of the state. From Friday through Sunday the camp participants received technical and tactical field sessions in addition to classroom sessions; all of which were ran by the ONU coaching staff and current ONU team members. Sessions included topics such as "Speed of Play" and "How You Can Be a Better Teammate." All of the sessions were designed to help the High School athlete begin to prepare for the transition to college soccer. We as a program always look forward to this event as it's is a fun, personal, and competitive soccer environment and this year was no different. It was a great weekend for soccer and we hope each of the players took home a great experience!
Up next, 13 High School teams across the state will be traveling to Ada to take part in the annual 8v8 Summer Shootout this Saturday. Each team will play in four 35 minute games that will take place on the campus of ONU. The shootout is a great opportunity for High School Teams to get competitive playing experience in preparation for their fall schedule. We are looking forward to another great weekend of soccer here at ONU!
As you can see we have been keeping busy here in Ada this summer. Before we know it we will be underway with preseason in August and onto our 2011 campaign! Keep posted to the blog for summer updates and to stay in the loop for all things ONU Women's Soccer!
