Lights and Memorial Project Update
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!
Donations Update (updated March 5)
After speaking with the president of the Okemos Athletic Boosters, we are so happy to announce that we have raised over $240,000! February was an unbelievable month for the Dr. John Picone Soccer Lights Project. A big thank you to the Picone-Longo Family for their generous matching funds donation which contributed $60,000 in February!
It is hard to put into words what we have accomplished as a soccer community, which has included past, present, and future Okemos Soccer Families. Since we have exceeded our initial goal, we are looking at upgrading to brighter lights (on the recommendation of other soccer facilities who have recently installed lights) and other phase 2 projects which would further separate our facility from others across the state. These additional items include “Okemos Soccer” windscreens, state championship signage, and new, more permanent shelters to name a few. If you haven’t donated but still want to help and get your name on the donor signage, we will still be accepting donations through the end of March.

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. |
