About This Activity
Gordan Raketic, the director of our upper level camp, played professional soccer for 18 years in Europe with teams in Slovenia, Austria, Spain and France. His distinguished career included several runs in the European Champions League, advancing as far as the semifinal round on three separate occasions. After moving to the US, he has trained and coached youth soccer mainly in Wisconsin and Illinois, achieving success at the State and National levels. A large part of that process is instilling the love for the game, a fact to which countless players under his tutelage will give testimony. Ottawa Recreation is excited to offer this high level of soccer camp instruction. A camp taught by an internationally renowned teacher of Gordan’s caliber might cost over $100 in some settings. Ottawa Recreation is proud to be able to offer this camp at a fraction of the cost. Camps include both boys and girls. Players will be divided into age appropriate groups each day at the camp. Players should wear proper shoes, shin guards, athletic shorts and shirts. Campers are encouraged to bring their own water and a soccer ball. Price includes T-shirt. Location: Whitney Field Soccer Field (North of IDOT building off of Champlain St.).
