Summer Sports Camps

3

While all OU students are on summer break, the OU athletic coaches will be hard at work providing camps for high school students who want to improve their skills in their respective sports.

Here are some of the camps OU will be hosting this summer:

OU Baseball

OU baseball will be holding its summer camp June 11 through July 19. Days that campers come depend upon their age and skill set. OU offers two baseball combines, which allows athletes to compete in front of major college and junior college coaches, and a father and son baseball camp. There is also the Sooner Elite Camp, which is a camp that prospects can attend and actually see what it’s like to be a baseball player at OU. They are even given an OU uniform to wear for the game. They have other camps that focus on different aspects, such as a hitting camp, and a future star showcase camp that allows players to learn the recruiting rules, and what a D1 coach actually looks for during the recruiting process.

OU Volleyball

OU volleyball camp kicks off July 5 and runs until July 24, offering both skills camps and team camps. There is a skills camp and an elite skills camp that is more tailored towards athletes who have more experience. The team camps allow coaches to sign their teams up, learn skills together, and actually make the team better as a whole.

OU Softball

Who wouldn’t want to attend a camp that is put on by a coach whose team has recently won the National Championship? The OU softball camp starts on June 8 and goes until June 18. The first camp is an advanced prospect camp that really focuses on incoming 9-12th graders and begins to prepare them for a higher level of playing, and hopefully for eventual college playing. The second camp provides a more fun environment and places the athletes with those who share the same skill level.

OU Football Camp

The OU football program provides the extremely valuable opportunity to receive instruction from the coaches that are responsible for OU having an amazing football team. The OU football camp runs from June 3 to June 10, and there is a youth skills camp, a high school camp and a separate kicking camp. As well as being taught from the OU coaching staff, campers will also have the opportunity to work with the top high school and junior college coaches from across the country.

OU Basketball

The basketball program holds a variety of camps, ranging from parent and child camps to the “Little Sooners” camp, which is specifically for children ages 4-7. The camps are held between June 6 to June 19.

OU Soccer

The OU soccer camp is so great that it even has its own special name. The Matt Potter Soccer Academy is June 2 to June 5 and July 21 to July 27. The camps teach students technical soccer skills, and they play games throughout the day in order to actually use their newly learned skills. There is also a competitive half day camp, open to boys only, that teaches them skills in a much more competitive setting.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
