OSSC Strides

4 OSSC Boys Impress 
At Northeast Elite ID Camp At Colgate

Thoughts For Players Seeking To Play College Soccer

Camp info here.

Ryan Tudi, Elijah Morris, Dan Keck and Sam Caton jumped in the deep end of the college recruiting pool, and proved their quality (as well as highlighting the results of considerable efforts put forth over the past several years) among a very talented group of ambitious college soccer hopefuls.  The three day overnight camp at Colgate featured several groups of players; the Hobart College and Colgate University "Futures," or players who will be attending those two institutions this fall.  Then there were the previously-identified 2013 grads the coaches have been recruiting for some time prior to camp.  Then the general population, campers who sought the attention of the coaches in attendance.  For perspective's sake, the college players working the camp as counselors also served as competition for several games against a wide mix of both futures and general campers/all-stars.  These matches gave the campers a very good first-hand glimpse of what the top DIII and DI levels look like, and the coaches an excellent reference point when evaluating the players they were interested in.
