Oregon Soccer Academy is proud to offer Winter Outdoor Soccer to the U15-18 player! Having started in 2003, the Winter Outdoor season promises to be an exciting time to watch talented teens continue with their love for the game following their high school season.
OSA's goal is to develop Premier and upper Division teams. Rosters will be formed to achieve that goal. Once teams are formed, practices are held twice a week and will focus on specific individual techniques and team tactical awareness. This is a highly competitive season and players must be committed to their team.
Individuals who are invited to join OSA will receive the best coaching philosophy the Northwest offers. Head coach Bernie Fagan selects his coaching staff personally. Each team coach will build competitive teams through high expectations, hard work, and dedication. The coaching staff has years of experience coaching high school, college, and adult players and are accomplished players themselves.
Tryouts are held each November and pre-season training starts in January. League games are February to April. All teams will participate in a post-season tournament during the month of April.
Following the Winter season, players are invited to continue their fitness training and skill development by participating in summer tournament teams. Summer tournament practices start mid-June and teams will be enrolled in four summer tournaments ending in early August. This is a great time to prepare for your High School tryouts!
