Plans for the Junior High Boys Soccer Team will need to be adapted as it was recently learned that the league they typically play in will not be scheduling games this fall. The team coordinators are working on an alternative plan with setting up games/scrimmages with area teams.

Below is information based on a typical season...

Team Philosophy
The focus will be on developing a love for the game, improving technical soccer skills and growing each player’s soccer IQ. All members will get to play, but play time may not be equal.

Games
The season will run from approximately September 1 until October 18. Home games will be played at the Ottawa Hills High School stadium on Sunday evenings either at 5:30pm or 7:00pm. Away games will be scheduled upon opponent’s field availability. Game schedule will be distributed once available.

Practices
The team will have scheduled practices twice a week. Specific days will be determined by the coach and Village Life practice field availability. Practices will not start until school is in session.

PLEASE NOTE: A final schedule will be distributed once all registrations are in and the game/practice schedules are finalized.

Uniform
Each player will be supplied with a jersey. Jerseys are to be well cared for and will be collected after the last scheduled game. Each player is responsible to supply their own black soccer shorts, shin guards, black socks, soccer cleats/shoes, and soccer ball. Mouth guard is recommended but optional.

Communication
Each player will get information at the beginning of the season with practice times, game schedule, ball boy schedule, parent concession volunteer schedule and team roster. Communication on practice or game changes will be via email or text.

Fees
Registration fee is $125. Registration fee will be applied to league registration, referee fees, coach fees and cost of end of year banquet for the player.

The Ottawa Hills Youth Soccer Association (OHYSA) is once again offering recreational soccer to the youth of Ottawa Hills. The program is open to all children living in Ottawa Hills or attending Ottawa Hills Schools. However, this year it will be a scaled down version due to all the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19. This will be a shorter season than in past years and there will be no jerseys, trophies or official refs. Because of this, the fees have been reduced. Despite the changes, we are hoping that this will still give the young soccer enthusiasts a fun experience.

SCHEDULE
Pre K-K division will play on Saturday mornings for one hour between 9:00am-12:00pm from September 12 to October 3. This time will include both practice and game play. (PreK for this purpose is defined as 1 year out from kindergarten).

1st-6th grade division will play games on Saturday mornings for one hour between 9:00am-12:00pm from September 12 to October 3. Teams may have separate practice times as arranged by the coach.

You will receive a game schedule after the registration period is over and teams are formed.

TEAMS
24 players per age group will be needed to make each age division work. If not enough players are registered for an age group, the best efforts will be made to combine age groups. If not enough in a certain age group are registered and it's not possible to combine, you will be notified and your registration fees will be refunded.

UNIFORM
Players are asked to wear any reversible green/white jersey. If this is not an option for you, players should wear/bring t-shirts in both green and white colors each week. Players need to provide their own black shorts, white or black socks, shin guards and cleats.
