Chicago Red Stars Fundraiser for OYSC!

The Chicago Red Stars are one of the top ranked teams in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). They are home to U.S. Women’s National Team stars and World Cup champions Julie Ertz and Alyssa Naeher! Come see Julie, Alyssa, and the rest of the team as they take on Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd, and other National Team players from all over the world at Toyota Park this season.

Youth Soccer Night is a celebration of youth soccer in the Midwest. The Red Stars want to recognize the hard work of parents, coaches, board members, and staff that dedicate their time to create a positive experience for youth players. We would like to provide free parking passes for coaches, up to three per team, as a thank you from us.

We also want to create a memorable experience for the players and recognize them on the field at halftime. They will have a chance to walk around the field and be shown on the jumbotron, which every kid loves.

Join us for a fun night watching Chicago’s professional women’s soccer team and help OYSC at the same time!! Please click here to purchase tickets. Hope to see you there!!!

DICK's Awards $20,000 Grant!

Words cannot express the gratitude we have for the generous grant from DICK’s Sporting Goods Foundation to help us purchase new equipment for our 2018 soccer season. Without their help, we would be unable to give our players the soccer experience they expect from OYSC. Abby Jacobs, Community Marketing Manager and Warren Wiedower, Manager of the DICK’s store in Oshkosh presented two OYSC players with the $20,000.00 check during our Taste of Oshkosh fundraiser at Becket’s. It was an event we will never forget! DICK’s Sporting Goods believes that Sports Matter. Sports build character, increase confidence and motivate kids to stay in school and aim for higher education. We are excited to be partners with DICK’s Sporting Goods through their community outreach programs. Thank you, DICK’s! You’re the BEST!

OYSC NEEDS YOUR HELP

On September 1st, we lost our Soccer shelter at County Park to a fire. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Unfortunately, it housed all of the OYSC equipment. As we will have much work ahead of us replacing all of our equipment, we've decided to begin a fundraiser for new equipment. Please donate if you can, and PLEASE share this update for your families and friends to see! Together we can rebuild! We will push through and continue to provide a terrific soccer experience for our players and families in 2018.

2018 Online Registration Now Open!

Registration for the 2018 season will again be ONLINE! This has allowed us to keep our deadline as Nov. 1, 2017. Players are not registered until the registration process is completed online, the fee is paid, and a picture of the player is provided. OYSC reserves the right to require presentation of a birth certificate and/or verification of legal address in the event there is any question about the age or address of the player. Using an incorrect date of birth or an address that is not yours, will result in the forfeiture of registration fees, as well as participation in the organization. Teams are based on the area where you live. Due to the number of players in our club, we do not accept requests for team placement. All teams are final. Registrations received after the November 1st deadline are subject to team placement based on availability and will be charged an additional $20.00 late fee per child. Registering on time gives us a more accurate idea of the number of roster spaces needed. By registering the majority of players before the number of teams is set, we assure that as many players as possible get to play without paying for jerseys that go unused. Below is the fee schedule, as well as the Nights of Play information. Please click on the link below for the online registration instructions.
