The project committee was happy to announce March 27 they have raised over $247,000! They are still taking donations and $500+ donations received by the end of March will be eligible for donor plaque recognition. Additional funds raised will be used to further improve the soccer stadium (such as permanent shelters, windscreens, & new state championship signage). Currently, the school district is in the process of choosing contractors with the goal of installing the lights this summer! Next steps are naming the stadium after John "Doc" Picone!
U12 Boys WSSL team wins Traverse City Fall Autumn Classic
After finishing as runner up last year, coach Taylor Herschleb's 06 boys Maroon team beat South Side fire 3-1 to become 2017 champions. Along the way OSC tallied 19 goals and only allowed one while beating Midwest United- Kalamazoo white, Plymouth Reign white, and West Michigan Storm black. Congratulations boys!
Juggling Club!
OSC is continuing the popular juggling club again this spring. Players will work toward reward levels for the number of consecutive juggles they can perform. For each level achieved, players will receive a reward tag they can attach to their bag. Juggling helps players improve their touch on the ball, allowing them to be more comfortable and confident when they have the ball. Plus, juggling improves a player's balance and concentration. Top players dribble and juggle a ball every day! 
U12 Boys win Jr State Cup Championship
A first half header goal by Andrew Kim off a corner from Aidan Antcliff held up as Okemos Soccer Club's boys beat SWM Kickers (Southwest Michigan) to win the 2016 U12 state championship. It was a total team effort and a deserved victory. Stellar goalkeeping by Dray Chase and a rock solid defense led by John Moore, Will Swihart, George Meng and Issac Freidoff secured the shutout. Tough ball winning and precision passing by midfielders Owen Brewer, Aidan Antcliff, Ben Hussey, Andrew Kim, Kaivalya Kulkarni and Ryan Wilkinson allowed Okemos to control possession. Tireless work and unselfish play by forwards Ruben Gonzalez and Ederick Plantegenest kept the SWM defense under pressure the entire game. With the win, Okemos becomes only the third team from the Lansing area to win a State Cup or Jr State Cup championship and the first community based team- since all players are from Okemos- to accomplish the feat. |
