OLNEY SOCCER CLUB
Olney Soccer Club was founded in 1975 and has been providing the Olney
community with a quality soccer program for over a quarter of a century.
We currently have 30 boys and girls select teams. Our teams travel all
over the East Coast, playing in premier tournaments. We also take teams
across to Europe to enhance their development.
Camp Philosophy
Improving skills through fun with the soccer ball constantly at your
feet.
Players will spend the majority of time in camp with a ball at
their feet, gaining control of the ball and becoming more comfortable
when in possession of the ball. Everything we do is aimed at the game
of soccer. Players need to train for the skills they will need during a
game. Much of our emphasis is on technique, insight, and communication.
