Under the direction of Bowdoin Men's Coach Fran O'Leary, the FOSC Residential Camp at Bowdoin College has grown every year. In 2011 not only will aspiring college soccer players have a unique opportunity to work with some of the finest coaches in America, but the FOSC Residential Camp aims to provide a realistic picture of what it takes to compete at the collegiate level. In addition to top-level instruction provided during the daily sessions, evening seminars on topics ranging from recruiting, strength and conditioning, nutrition, psycology of a player, admissions, and transitioning from high school to college will be provided. At the conclusion of the camp, each camper will receive an evaluation by one of our college coaches.
Specialized goalkeeper training will be provided by Bowdoin College Goalkeeper Coach and former UNH standout Mark Roma. Goalkeepers will receive technical training and will also play in all small-sided, and 11v11 games.
The Junior Academy will focus on developing skills in a challenging and fun environment. Our coaching staff will include college coaches along with former and current college players. The curriculum for the Junior Academy will encourage the growth of individual technical skills, while also promoting an understanding of the game and a player's role within the team.

The FOSC half day camp focuses on players having FUN while learning new skills in an atmosphere that builds self-confidence and teaches good sportsmanship. Throughout the week, players will be exposed to a variety of games that will be used to develop fundamental skills including ball control and group interaction. Small-sided games will be played at the end of each session.
Our Bowdoin Soccer staff will be working directly with all campers, providing as much individual attention as possible. We will teach to ability, so each camper comes away from camp with an experience of challenge and achievement. In addition to gaining some soccer skills, your child will make some new friends in the Bowdoin Soccer community.
