Day 3 and we close out this years edition of the Oldsmar SC / Eintracht Frankfurt Winter Skills Camp.  It was a complete "Erfolg"!  We’d like to thank all of those OSC members that attended as well as all the participants from the surrounding clubs for taking part in this amazing camp.  We couldn’t have done it without you.  We also want to give a huge shout out to Goalkeeper Coach Rachel Howard-Velmer and OSC U12 Boys Coach Mike Figgener for helping out too! And finally, thanks to our new friends from Germany, Coach Gerald Mai, Coach Toby Wawroschek, Coach Udo Schenatzky and of course our very own Director of Coaching, Kai Velmer.  Through their efforts this camp was a huge success (or in German - "Erfolg")!  Pictures and videos are being compiled as we speak... stay tuned.  Thanks again and we hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.
