Club takes players from the early years of soccer to as far as the game can take them. Developing
players to meet increasing challenges at all levels of soccer, we provide year-round training and league
play within programs that empower players to develop technically, tactically, physically, and
emotionally in a safe, supportive environments that champion fun and fair play.
At OCSC, we’re passionate about what we do and our players experience it through a holistic
approach that helps transform our players into the best athletes – and people – they can be. We
measure our continued success in more than just an impressive history of wins and player
development. Our metrics include life-changing experiences, confidence, great memories, smiles, and
lasting friendships.
From first kick to the pro track, Ottawa City Soccer propels our players every step of the way as they
progress from fun recreational games to competitive tournaments, to regional and national play, to
events in the US and Europe, into top schools, and beyond. Everyday, our club and the terrific people
in it empower the realization of potential. In trainings and games, we enjoy this journey together and
celebrate achievements and milestones in the spirit of family.
If you want to join our OCSC family and experience the best of the beautiful game in a great club, we

A message from your executive committee
Excellence: Strive to be the best of the best in everything you do. Commit to continuously improving.
Effort: If you put in the work, the results will come. Whatever your 100% looks like, give it. Never quit.
Accountability: Accept responsibility before placing blame. Own lessons, not just goals and wins.
Focus: Take care of the details. Channel your energy. What you focus on grows.
Teamwork: When individual players selflessly act as one, success takes care of itself – on the field and in life.
Sportsmanship: Play with respect, fairness, integrity, and discipline.
Pride: When you care about what you do, you get better at it. Improvement builds confidence: the key to all locks.
