How can I help my child's team or the OSA organization?
Volunteer involvement is the key to your child's positive soccer experience. If you have experience coaching, great, sign up to coach. IF you don't have experience we provide training and licensing and we pay the costs. Interested in becoming a referee? We will cover the costs of your training and licensing. Volunteer to be a coach, assistant coach or team manager, help with marketing and fundraising, or sign up to be a committee coordinator.

What is the general description of each program?

Introduction to Soccer

U6 Recreational Program (Ages 4-5)

This program is designed for the child who has not played on a team before.  The rules of the game are introduced.  Fundamentals of the game such as dribbling, passing and kicking are presented.  Parent involvement is highly recommended since children at this age may need some encouragement and motivation.  Teams are co-ed.

The recreational program allows players the opportunity for fun, exercise and development of good sportsmanship.  The recreational program is divided into groups by age.  The U7 and U8 teams are co-ed; U10, U12 and U14 teams are divided into boys and girls teams.

   Competitive Soccer Program (Ages 10-18)

The competitive soccer program is for the more advanced player.  Tryouts are required and fees are higher.  Contact the OSA office at 567-9076 for more information if you are ready for the challenge.  An administrative fee will be collected with the registration form.  Additional fees will be collected by each individual team at the beginning of the season.  See registration form for additional information.
