March 20, 2008 (Fullerton, CA) – What are your kids doing this summer? If you have a young soccer player in your household whose talents would benefit from a development-focused curriculum in a fun-filled atmosphere, then this summer’s Cal South ODP Soccer Camps may be just the thing they need to attend.

The Cal South ODP Soccer Camps Program enters its tenth year of operation as a program designed for all boys and girls, ages 8 to 15, that is committed to reaching the highest level open to them in the sport. These camps are “developmental” in that our experienced Camp Staff, already used to dealing with and developing talent at the state, regional and national levels, will build on and improve the technical and tactical skills that players have acquired during the soccer year. Through our program, we will create a challenging environment where each player will learn about themselves, and their strengths and weaknesses. Players will be encouraged to compete in and outside of their comfort zones, and will be given the knowledge and tools to improve.

Cal South has scheduled nine different day camps in strategic locations throughout Southern California this summer to provide every player between the ages of 8 and 15 the opportunity of attending these special camps. Each day of the week-long camp lasts three hours with an emphasis placed on the quality of the experience, not quantity. Each group will have a low coach-to-player ratio, so as to optimize the individual development of each player. For goalkeepers, every session includes specific goalkeeping training with our Goalkeeper Academy staff and ODP staff coaches.

Monday through Friday, the coaches will emphasize tactics, speed of play, speed of thought, movement with and without the ball, and technical speed. Making good decisions under pressure will be the theme of the week, where players are given the opportunity to apply what has been taught to them each day under match conditions. At the end of the week, each player will feel they have been challenged, evaluated personally by their coach, and will be eager to take their game to the next level. This represents exceptional value to the growing player.

Entering its sixth successful year are the successful ODP Youth Academy Residential Camps, which are held at the historic and prestigious grounds of the Thacher School, nestled in the foothills of the Ojai Valley. Also taking place at the Thacher School this summer will be the fourth annual edition of the value-filled Cal South College Prep Camp.
