Good evening,

I hope everyone is having a great week. Thanks to those who made it out to the extra session on Tuesday.

If you are playing the Winter indoor league, please e-transfer $350 to oakridge2012girls@gmail.com by next Wednesday, September 27.

We are still sorting out the overall cost for the fitness sessions, and we will share that ASAP. Also, if any of you have not paid for pictures from the summer season, please send your $10 to Jessie (jessiependlebury@hotmail.com), or in-person on Saturday.

Thank you,

Hello parents,
Thanks to everyone who got out to Saturday’s practice. A couple of items to share today.

• Extra practice this Tuesday. The coaches have decided to hold an extra session for the girls to work on their kicks. While this is an optional session, we think it will be beneficial for all to attend. The event has been created in TeamsPages, so please mark your attendance if you plan to come.

• PFPC Fitness Waiver: https://pfpclondon.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/PFPC-ParQ-Waiver.pdf. If you can, please print off the waiver and bring it to practice on Tuesday or Saturday. We will have extra copies on Saturday to fill out for those who don’t have access to a printer this week.

Thank you,
Coaches Jessie, Steph, & Chris

Good evening parents,

We are moving along with planning out the Fall and Winter months and have some information to share:

• Coach Jessie has secured a date/time for the fitness sessions at Precision Fitness & Performance Center (https://pfpclondon.com/). Sessions will be held on Wednesdays at 6pm starting October 18. We realize this is a day of the week change from what we thought, so our apologies there if this is an issue for your schedule.

• Registration information for indoor 2023/2024 league. There is a difference in the process if you are a returning player from the summer, or a new player joining us recently. However, the registration* link is the same for everyone*: https://oakridgesoccerclub.sportngin.com/register/form/717459729
o Returning players: Same process as in the past. Please select the ‘Oakridge Indoor 2023/24’ option from the menu and pay the $35 fee.
o New players: On the registration page, select the ‘Open Session Assessment’ option. This will allow the player to register and have insurance, with no cost for the “tryout”. Once the assessment period is over (between the end of our September outdoor sessions and the start of the indoor season), you will have to pay the $35 insurance fee.

• We appear to be closing in on a final number for Winter league participation. Once finalized, we’ll provide the cost for the season. Likely will be $350-$375 per player. Will confirm ASAP.

Apologies to those who are not returning but are still receiving messages. We’ll get that sorted out soon. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning!

Thank you,
Coaches Jessie, Steph, & Chris

Hello Parents,

Thanks for your attendance last night for those who could make it, and it was great to see some new faces. Here’s the info as discussed, in priority order:

2. Conditioning sessions at Precision Fitness & Performance Centre (https://pfpclondon.com/). Please let us know your interest. Once we get a feel for numbers, we’ll send out more detailed information. Currently looking at 1-hour sessions likely on Monday or Thursday evenings from 6-7pm or 7-8pm. Cost will be $10/session. Ideally, we would like to book out 10 or 20 sessions in advance.
3. Rest of September outdoor practice sessions. We’ll be holding practices each Saturday for the rest of the month (9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th) at the Oakridge HS mini fields (where Tuesday’s practice & meeting were held).

There is also a street party/fundraiser being held on Saturday, September 16 from 12-4pm (rain date on the 17th), with all funds raised going to support our friends Amy & Chris as their daughter (and our teammate!) Emma battles a rare form of leukemia. The event will be held at the corner of Iroquois Ave. and Murray St., and through the path to Elworthy Ave.

Please let us know ASAP if 1) you want to play in the indoor league, and 2) if you’re interested in the fitness sessions by emailing oakridge2012girls@gmail.com.
