About the Program

The OYAA program offers organized recreational and select soccer in the fall and spring for youth of the community. This gives boys and girls an opportunity to have fun while learning individual and teams soccer skills. This volunteer supported soccer league, which started play in 1989, has over 3900 participants. We have 4 different programs (please see reverse side for descriptions).

Information About Games

Weather permitting; each recreational team will play an 8-Game schedule at various locations in the Olentangy School district. Most teams play games on Saturdays, with some games on weekday nights and Sunday afternoons in order to complete all of the scheduled games.  Rained out games are made up if field space is available, but there are no refunds if all games cannot be played.  The Spring 2012 Season will start early April.

Coaches – We ALWAYS need good Coaches!

Lack of coaches is the primary reason that players are turned away.  Please volunteer, we provide training and support.  Register yourself as a coach when you register your child.  The coaches meeting/clinics will be early March.

Practices
 

Practice times and location are determined by the coach and are limited to two per week. Attendance at practice is expected so players can learn.

Registration begins early January 2012 – first come, first served!

The deadline for Spring 2012 registration is January 22, 2012. Returning Fall 2011 players get preference and WILL PLAY ON THEIR FALL TEAMS. New players will be placed as space permits. No Guarantees.
