Bring both jerseys

Posted by Head Coach at Mar 16, 2024 5:01PM PDT

Good evening,

This is a reminder to have your players bring both red and black jerseys for tomorrow’s game – just in case we end up short on either side.

Thank you and see you in the morning!

Now in its 50th year, the Oakridge Soccer Club has provided thousands of players an opportunity to play soccer year-round in a safe, positive, and forward thinking environment. As a community based, not for profit, volunteer-managed club, our impact is far more reaching than just getting on the field weekly. We regularly bring hundreds of people together to spend time outdoors, enjoying youth competition, and more importantly, build friendships that last long past the final whistle at the end of 90 minutes (or 80, or 70, or even 50 minutes for that matter).

Members of the Executive Board are volunteers who come from all walks of life: Finance, Sales, Project Management, IT, Engineering, Human Resources, etc with a common goal of creating opportunities for kids & adults of all ages to play the sport they love, regardless of the season. The Oakridge Soccer Club is an established and very well respected member of the greater London soccer community not only with the governing body of the district association EMSA, but the various leagues, suppliers, and other competitive associations. As one of the last standing community based clubs, we have collectively pushed forward to offer an affordable experience for multi-sport athletes or for those who just wanted to play closer to home and with school friends.

That all being said, there is an immediate need for new people with fresh/new perspectives to take leadership roles on the Executive Board. We are in need of volunteers to support the roles of President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Grassroots, Equipment, Field Management etc.. We have established processes/structure in place, most are repetitive season to season. Time commitment? Can vary by role, with monthly executive meetings to recap or plan forward.

If you are interested in learning more about opportunities to join the Executive Board of the Oakridge Soccer Club, please contact president@oakridgesoccerclub.ca.

Thank you.

Week ahead: Final Indoor Game

Posted by Head Coach at Mar 11, 2024 5:56PM PDT

Good evening,

One last game (9am on our usual field – Red vs Black) and 2 more fitness sessions to go before the winter season wraps up. Hoping all of you can make it! Thank you for marking your attendance.

Please be ready to go 30 minutes ahead of game time. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

Your Coaches
Jessie, Ricky, Steph, & Chris

Good evening,

  • First and foremost, we are looking for sponsors for the 2024 season. Any sponsorship funds collected will help offset the costs of running the team. These funds will help cover field costs, referees, team fees, tournaments/exhibitions/festivals, gear/equipment, etc. If interested, please reach out ASAP to oakridge2012girls@gmail.com and we will provide more information and a formal letter.
  • Thanks again for getting your players registered on time. Gillian (Oakridge Club Registrar) will be in touch with those who have yet to pay in full. There have been some system glitches that have caused some delays.
  • There are still 3 fitness sessions left: March 6, 13, and 20. The previous Week Ahead email incorrectly stated that there would be no fitness session on Wednesday, March 13.
  • No game this Sunday. Our final game (Oakridge Red vs. Black) will on Sunday, March 17 at 9am.

Thanks, and have a great week.
Your coaches,
Jessie, Ricky, Steph, & Chris
