About Us

Since before soccer first became a varsity sport in 1982, Okemos has had a long tradition of producing excellent youth soccer players and teams. Each season our teams are among the most successful in the area because we strive to develop fundamentals in an enjoyable environment. This approach has allowed many of our players to play in college, and help Okemos High School win four high school state championships (Boys 1984, Boys 2004, Girls 2006, Girls 2012) while finishing runners up once (Girls 1990). 

In 1996, Okemos Soccer Club (OSC) was founded to oversee the growing number of community-based competitive soccer teams in Okemos. The club’s board members and coaches were, and still are, volunteers who are passionate about helping kids succeed and believe in our mission:

To create an environment that is fun, challenging and positive. We will emphasize skill development, good sportsmanship, and team work so our players have an opportunity to flourish and develop to their full potential.  Within this environment we will offer the highest level of competition for our teams’ level of skill and ability.  When a player develops to the point that we can no longer challenge them in our environment, we will encourage them to seek a higher level of competition and we will develop another player that can benefit from OSC.

OSC holds tryouts for both boys and girls teams from the ages of Under 9 years old through Under 19 years old. These teams represent the Okemos community in the Capital Area Soccer League (CASL) which coordinates competitive soccer in the Greater Lansing Area. CASL teams are all community-based and are formed through tryouts. OSC now has teams playing in the Western Suburban Soccer League (WSSL) as well. This league has teams from all communities including: Northville, Ann Arbor, Fenton, Dearborn, Farmington, Brighton, etc.
