Message to the Orangevale Youth Soccer Club General Membership

As a community based, volunteer organization, the Orangevale Youth Soccer Club (OYSC) has always prided itself on providing a recreational- level youth soccer program to the young soccer players of our community. During our February 2025 board meeting, the Board of Directors of OYSC made some critical decisions for the upcoming fall 2025 Recreational Soccer season that will result in the continued successful growth of the Club including critical decisions regarding our fiscal viability.

For the upcoming fall 2025 recreational season, our Under 6 and Under 8 teams will remain affiliated with the California Youth Soccer Association, North. Our Under 10 and Under 12 teams will affiliate with US Club Soccer and participate in a local US Club recreation league. OYSC Under 14 thru Under 19 teams will affiliate with the US Club Soccer, Norcal Super Rec league.

Note: OYSC has not increased our registration rates for three years and, in order to make the move to US Club Soccer and remain fiscally solvent, registration fees for our program have been increased by approximately 30 to 35 percent across the board. These increases will allow OYSC to continue to provide USSF certified referees for all matches (Under 8 and above), continue reinvestment in infrastructure (goals, nets, corner flags, field painting equipment, scrimmage vests, etc.), and keep up with rising costs of insurance, field usage, field paint, registration with state of California governing bodies as a non-profit organization, software to run the organization, and other expenses (team and individual photographs, etc.).

Additionally, a portion of the increased fees will enable OYSC to update our youth soccer governing body affiliations that translates to opportunities to play matches against our close neighbors.

OYSC remains committed to providing youth in Orangevale and surrounding communities, a fun, safe, and rewarding recreational soccer experience that reflects our “OV” community pride.

Thank you for your continued support. See you on the pitch.

Board of Directors, Orangevale Youth Soccer Club
