Oklahoma Girls Soccer Camp ... much more than just training ...

The environment is challenging ... but it's not boot camp. Coach Randy Evans expects you to have fun.

On the picturesque campus of the University of Oklahoma, the residential camp is designed to help serious players be better prepared for the demands of DI soccer. Training sessions are advanced and involve a lot of small sided games. Keepers receive special training. Discounts for groups and teams. Day camps are also available in June.

OU is able to combine a quality education with the resources of a large school and the feel of a smaller college. Among public universities, OU ranks first in per capita National Merit Scholars and fifth in number of Rhodes scholars produced. Students chose from 125 undergraduate degrees, 129 masters degrees, 81 doctoral programs and professional degrees. OU even offers 90 exchange program in over 40 countries.

With an undergraduate population of 16,000, the university is small enough to offer personal attention for faculty and staff who are dedicated to high-quality education. Eighty three percent of undergraduate classes have fewer that 50 students.

Coach Evans, a frequent SA magazine columnist is exactly the kind of person you want your daughter to play for. OU is rated "moderately difficult" ... costs $13,000 (non-residents) ... 80% receive financial aid ... average award is $8400 ... soccer scholarships are available.

Summer Camps: Much More Than Training

Every camp here has been selected in our Best Soccer Camps book. The current edition of our Best Soccer Camps book contains only 100 selected camps from the more than 500 summer soccer camps.

Is this approach working? When have you seen so many camp ads and articles, anywhere, ever? Think about this. We talk to more serious soccer families and more truly dedicated college coaches, in one year, than anyone. And we help readers find the good camps that can affect their college futures, and their lives.

Now, consider what serious players do for top camps. Competitive players make the camp a success, elevate the level of play, and challenge other players. They stimulate the coaching staff. Everyone learns more and has more fun. And sometimes, a player catches the eye of a coach because, "Those campers were working so hard they looked like college players." ... the rest ... perhaps, is history!

Readers refer to our Student Athlete magazine as the "Consumer Reports" of College-Bound sports. We are proud to have earned your respect. When we compile our Special Campers Issues we invite only camps recommended in our Best Camps book to advertise. We've done our homework. All of these camps are good!

As parents of serious student athletes, we know how expensive, yet important, good camp selection is. Add the camp's cost, airfare, new clothes, new equipment, spending money, telephone, ground transportation and family gifts ... a residential camp’s cost can total $1000!

What are the alternatives, once you've learned how to how play, for getting noticed by the college coaches?

The three most important things to do, to increase your chances of playing sports in college are:

1. Participate in the ODP
2. Win state cup with your club team
3. Attend camp at the college where you hope to play

Camp selection is the only event YOU can control. By the end of the camp, both you and the coach will know if his college is in your future. If the news is not good, ask him to recommend colleges where you can play, and to use him as a reference.
