OLYMPIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
OKLAHOMA EVENT June 13 - 18, 2009
Info from Susan Sheehan - Administrator
Parents Thanks for your patience we have had a very busy week. The final cost for the trip to Oklahoma will be $650. We will be sending out invoices via email. The Camp Schedule for 2009 is posted above. We have 28 girls who have agreed to attend and that will give us 2 teams. Also in attendance will be Susan Sheehan from Mandeville, Erika Mann from Carrollton and coaches Louie Smothermon and Bret Sanders. The girls will stay in dorms and eat in the cafeteria on campus. The bus will depart from Baton Rouge on Saturday June 13 and will pick up in Lafayette, Alexandria and Shreveport. They will arrive in Oklahoma on Saturday and stay on campus in the camp housing. We will be sending out more about pick up information as soon as we have time to develop the bus schedule. Please also print and fill out the soccer release form. We need to have this before the trip. Please contact me or Mark Godwin if you have any other questions.
Thanks
The ODP Committee asked me to give you a testimonial, of sorts, about the Oklahoma Sub-Regional Event that the 97G will attend in June. I went last year as a chaperone/administrator for the 95G and it was a great experience. I have a 97G who will attend this summer's event. A typical day for your daughter will include morning and afternoon training sessions, followed by competitive matches against other state teams in the evenings. The week culminates with an All-Star game at the OU soccer complex on the last night, and wild-and-crazy small-sided games the last morning, when the girls design their own uniforms and play for fun. The girls travel to and from Oklahoma on a chartered team bus, along with their coaches and chaperones. They stay in dormitories on the OU campus in Norman, OK, where they are strictly monitored. Each girl has a cardkey to enter her locked hallway and a key to enter her dorm room, which she will share with a roommate. The chaperones stay in dorm rooms on the same hallway as the players. At no time is a girl left on her own: the girls go as a group on all outings, including to the dorm cafeteria for meals and the soccer fields for all training and games. The girls are not allowed to leave the group for any reason. The ODP Committee continues to work on details for the event, and they will be communicated to you as soon as possible. While I know you are all eager to know more, hopefully the above information gives you a little better understanding of what you can expect. I feel certain the week will be full of great fun and great soccer for your daughter! Looking forward to meeting you all, Susan Sheehan
