The Creative Side of OC Soccer

Prior to the 2007 season the Oberlin College Soccer coaching staff provided a challenge to the members of the team. Create a few commercials to help draw fans to our matches. As you can see they got pretty creative. The commercials did the trick as we often drew large crowds for our matches. The addition of lights for the 2008 season has added a whole new dimension to the atmosphere created at our games. Enjoy the creative side of Oberlin Soccer.

The Soccer Project

Two former college soccer players have taken a journey around the globe to explore how a round ball can unite people from the farthest corners of the world. They are creating a documentary film to be release in the future. Here is a short version. Enjoy. To find out more about the project visit The Soccer Project.

Hat Tricks All Around

If you had the chance to watch the US Men's National team last evening vs. Trinidad and Tobago you saw Jozy Altidore knock three past the GK. Very nice for a young player. I thought I would share with you an Oberlin hat trick from this past season. Junior Forward Skyler Dum scored three against Earlham College last October. Sky, is a Third Team All-Great Lakes Region Forward with a knack for scoring good goals. Enjoy his hat trick.



The Oberlin soccer team has just begun our non-traditional season. Following spring break our team trains three days a week for a five week period, per NCAA guidelines. We work toward improving players technical abilities and tactical understanding; we experiment with patterns and systems of play; and we work hard to increase each players fitness level as they transition into our summer workout. Most important... it's just good to be back out on the field training and playing soccer.
