Recreational Soccer

Oldham Youth Soccer recreational programs provide all interested children the opportunity to participate in and enjoy the game of soccer without regard for athletic ability or family income, up to the limits of Oldham Youth Soccer to accommodate them.  Team formation is by blind draw with no player tryouts.  There are two recreational seasons a year, one in the fall and one in the spring. 


Each level of recreational soccer programming includes an age specific training curriculum that follows US Youth Soccer player training and development guidelines.   In addition, all players are offered the opportunity to gain advanced supplemental soccer training through specialized programs offered by Oldham Youth Soccer and Thoroughbreds Soccer Club.
