How does Oshkosh United and “select” soccer differ from recreational soccer clubs?
At the core of Oshkosh United is the belief that individuals grow through competition. By playing with and against teams with similar philosophies and talent we hope to develop players within our club to their full potential. While we are competitive, this does not mean that winning is empasized over everthing else, actually, just the opposite is true. Oshkosh United is dedicated to developing individuals to their full potential. Training involves a multitude of activities that emphasize individual and team skills. We feel a mastery of the basic skills of dribbling, receiving, passing, shooting and defending are the foundation from which players are able to reach their full potential. We employ small-sided games, such as two against two, to allow players more opportunities to interact with the ball and make decisions that affect the immediate outcome of the game. Players play in a number of positions over the course of the year to truly develop as well-rounded soccer players.
