Soccer is a FALL SPORT
OAA Soccer is a recreational program.

Registration
Registration is set to begin April 2014 and continue through July 2014.
Players are assigned to teams in the following manner:
- Satisfy family relationships.
- Satisfy coach's preference for one player.
- Satisfy player preferences in order by registration date and time.
- Assign players based on a common unsatisfied preference.
- Assign players based on school and grade.
- Assign players based on school.
- Assign any remaining players where ever the player fits.
Ideally all preferences could be satisfied. Unfortunately, this is generally impossible due to constraints such as:
- Balancing the gender mix on each team.
- Balancing the total number of players on each team.
Registering early can significantly contribute to having preferences satisfied. Please do not assume teams and friends stay together. In any case, please encourage players to form additional friendships this fall.
Coed U5 Soccer - Fall 2014
The U5 program is structured to give kids an introduction to the sport of soccer.
The season will consist of 1 practice and 1 scrimmage each week.
Scrimmages will take place Saturday mornings.
Scrimmages will be on small sized fields in a 3 on 3 format with no goalie.
All games are played in Oakdale at various City Parks or Schools.
Kids in this group must be born between 8-1-2008 and 7-31-2009 (most of the kids will be in the Pre-K age group)
Equipment
The league provides:
- Jersey
- Shorts
- Socks
Players are responsible for their own shin guards and shoes - at this age, normal sports shoes are adequate.
Coaches will be provided with Size 3 soccer balls, collapsible nets and cones for practices and games.
