Founded in 1975, the Oakridge Soccer Club (OSC) is one of the largest and last community based, not for profit, volunteer based clubs in the greater London region.

Following the values & principles of the Oakridge Optimist Club as friends of youth & community, the Oakridge Soccer Club has evolved into a multi-tiered competitive soccer club that provides opportunities for players from U8 grassroots development to U18 to compete year-round.

The success of the club and all of its programs is due to the countless hours spent by an army of volunteers who support players, teams, and the Executive Board to manage the club every season. If it weren’t for these volunteers, the club would be forced to close its doors and no longer provide competitive programs.

Kicked off in 2021, the Executive Board of the Oakridge Soccer Club introduced two Volunteer of The Year Awards ( Grassroots & Competitive) to recognize the dedication & commitment of key volunteers who are supporting the clubs various programs. Nominations are open to any individual who has supported an OSC team/pool/program over the last 12 months. This award will be presented to two individuals who:

-share a deep commitment to supporting youth development, the sport of soccer, and the club
-contribute to the growth of the program
-are organized, punctual, supportive
-go above and beyond, they are an asset to the program/team/club

All nominations are due by Friday, September 8th, 2023.
