2023 SATELLITE CAMPS

CAMP INFO:
The Residential camp is a great way for prospective players to gain a more in-depth look at the Oglethorpe University Soccer program as well as get to experience Oglethorpe on a deeper level by rooming on campus in the dorms, dining at our on campus dining facilities, and getting to know the current players and coaches. Sessions will be led by Oglethorpe's Women's Soccer Staff and will be structured to present the players with an elite college-level training environment.
The day and extended day soccer camp combines learning the game of soccer with an extremely fun and engaging environment! Each day a different soccer-related topic will be introduced. Players will get to compete in games and challenges throughout the week that will not only give them opportunities to work on their skills but also to win camp prizes! The camp is designed to focus on the technical, tactical, physical, and mental sides of soccer as it relates to the age and level of each player.
Campers will work with the Oglethorpe University Women’s Soccer staff and players while getting to train on our beautiful soccer facilities. We enjoy the opportunity to help those we work with becoming better in all facets of the game. We look forward to having you join us and showing you what our staff, facilities, and school have to offer!
CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR OVERNIGHT CAMPERS

All Overnight campers will be notified as early as possible and automatically enrolled into either the Extended Day or Day Camp. We will do our best to maximize training hours within the timeframe of the new schedule. Campers who registered using a credit voucher will be re-issued a credit voucher for any difference in the camp price. All other campers will be refunded any difference in the camp price. For out-of-town campers, we will look to offer other local accommodation options.
