Dear FOSC Members,

It is the utmost importance that we are providing a safe and fun environment for our players.  If the air quality is unsafe, we will cancel based on the following guideline:  

• If the area AQI (as shown on our site graph) is 150 or above at 3PM, all practices MUST be cancelled.

ALL CAMPS SCHEDULED TODAY ARE CANCELLED

In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Capital Soccer Alliance (CSA) has decided to cancel inter-club recreational games for upcoming Fall 2020 soccer season. This decision has been made in order to best protect our communities from potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus and to reduce the likelihood of unnecessary transmission through close contact during recreational sports activities. During a meeting of all CSA member Clubs held on June 24, 2020, this unanimous decision was made for the following reasons:

• In the weeks prior to the meeting, reported cases of and hospitalizations due to COVID-19 were increasing locally;
• Local public health officials and US Soccer have not yet released guidelines on how to safely conduct competitive/recreational soccer games (current guidelines that have been released only cover conditioning activities for athletic training);
• Many of the fields that we use are owned by local municipalities, and the fields still remained closed for sanctioned sports activities; and
• We are concerned about placing an undue burden on volunteer coaches to implement appropriate social distancing guidelines that would have to be emplaced for public safety

The CSA partner Clubs did not make this decision lightly. We are all committed to providing a safe environment for the youth of our communities to experience the sport of soccer. Unfortunately, the unprecedented circumstances of the global COVID-19 pandemic have created a scenario where we do not believe that we can effectively create a safe environment for all of our registered players. Please stay safe and we hope that we can all return to play recreational soccer in 2021.

FOSC is working to offer our community members some type of soccer experience during this time of uncertainty. We are looking at options such as weekly camps, clinics or training. This  is at the top of our to-do list and we appreciate your patience and support. 

 Sincerely,

The FOSC Board of Directors, along with the Board of Directors of Land Park Soccer Club, East Sacramento Youth Soccer Club, River Park Soccer Club, Natomas Youth Soccer League, Cosumnes River Recreational Youth Soccer League and Greenhaven Soccer Club.

As the new DOC, I want to change the way we approach training at Fair Oaks Soccer Club.  The best players in the world understand the game on a level uncommon in our country. My time in Barcelona was eye-opening.  I witnessed American academy players whose speed of play and mastery of time and space was beyond anything I’ve seen here. Across the training pitches of FC Barcelona I witnessed a unified methodology introduced by Johan Cruyff which has produced some of the greatest players in the world.  Modern research in cognitive development and pedagogy supports this methodology as does the consistent success of FC Barcelona. In my personal experience with club and high school teams, the results are measurable and the resultant playing style is unique and entertaining. I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to serve and look forward to an exciting future for Fair Oaks Soccer Club.

Over the last couple weekends during quarantine, FOSC had set out to help provide relief to community members struck by the financial affects of COVID-19. We teamed up with the OVFO Food Bank to conduct a drive-thru food drive and collected 2200 lbs of food, as well as essential supplies and a significant amount of cash donations that went 100% to the OVFO Food bank to feed local families.  Special thanks to KCRA, Good Day Sacramento, Orangevale Live, Fair Oaks Recreation and Parks District, amongst many others who helped us get the word out.  Big team effort, big win!
