The Brookline Recreation Center Soccer Camp was run by Center staffer Jay Germeyer. The camp attracted a large group of Brookline kids and they were taught basic soccer skills. Jay surrounded himself with a talented group of helpers and the advanced skills sessions were excellent for those who were serious about their soccer.

Jay's camp ran for a couple years in the late 1990s until he moved on to the Olympia Recreation Center in Mount Washington. Jay continued his soccer skills camps at his new location and many of his faithful students migrated to Olympia just to be with Jay.

Those of us who had the privilege of working with Jay will always miss him.
