 2020 Fall Competitive Program

Due to the current COVID restrictions that are before us for soccer activity, we are restructuring the way that Competitive Soccer will run for the Fall 2020 season. As of today, the state of RI is not allowing for games to be played. Whether or not this changes in the future, we are keeping the health and safety of our players as a priority. SuperLiga is also unsure if they will be able to run their Fall Competitive Season or not. We do not want to completely cancel soccer, as we feel strongly that the players in our community deserve the chance to play and improve. 

While “games” in the full/traditional sense are not currently permitted - practices, training, and scrimmages amongst stable groups are allowed.  Partnering with Higher Level, we are planning to offer a 7-week competitive developmental model for the fall season. This model will have your player training with coaches and fellow age appropriate competitive peers one to two nights a week with an OSNK coach and an additional training session lead by the Higher Level staff. Higher Level will also be providing training and guidance for our coaches to use during their individual training sessions. We are still working through the planning stages and scheduling of this competitive developmental model and anticipate Higher Level training starting September 14th. OSNK coaches will be in contact with players prior to that to schedule their practice time.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Higher Level. Higher Level is a Sports Performance company that specializes in Speed Agility Quickness training. Their soccer curriculum will mirror the topics from their Speed & Agility training with the ball at the players’ feet. Their soccer training places a huge emphasis on improving ball mastery and touch, as well as increasing foot speed around the ball. Their soccer training will include real game situations to improve each player’s decision making and increase their soccer knowledge. Topics typically covered are attacking, one-on-one defending, defending as a unit, creating & exploiting space, shooting, maintaining possession, and correct passing technique & selection.

The competitive development model will run for 7 weeks and will cost $125 which includes a training jersey. Players must be registered by August 31st in order to participate. The link to register for this program is: https://system.gotsport.com/programs/7703S6344?reg_role=player

We are ongoing in our evaluation of the guidance given for youth sports and will consider modifying the season format if restrictions are relaxed. If SuperLiga is able to hold their league or if inter-town games are able to be held, we will evaluate on an individual team basis.

Once again, we would like to thank you all for your patience and support as we navigate our way through these unprecedented times. We are doing our best to ensure player safety while also getting them back onto the field with their teammates.
