The newest Village of Oregon park - the Highlands of Netherwood - will be open this spring, and Oregon SC will have usage two days per week. The area can be used as either a full-size field, or two 11U/12U fields. We are requesting an extension from the Village to use some additional parks that we were granted access to in 2020: Rustic Vineyard, Norm Champion, Bergamont, Stone Ridge and Windcrest. More on fields later in the Looking Ahead section
Spring 2021: Coaching Updates David Brown continues as our Acting Director of Coaching. Currently, he is operating in a reduced role as he is awaiting the approval of his U.S. work permit.

Ashante Odogun-Williams will also return as a Competitive team coach this spring. We have two new coaches, Giovanni Bonilla-Flores and Rafael Rosas, who will coach Competitive teams and serve as our Academy trainers.

Linked throughout our website and on MAYSA website (maysa.org) Policies are in effect for all MAYSA games, even those not in Dane County For games outside MAYSA/Dane County, Oregon SC teams will follow the local public health guidelines.

Looking Ahead: Fields We continue to monitor the fundraising project for the Jaycee Park West Renovation project and attend virtual meetings with other groups. Both versions of the preliminary plans for Keller/Alpine Westside Park, which were presented to the Village Planning Commission in February, showed four multi-use athletic fields. We feel strongly that these fields are needed in the Village. There is a shortage of green space athletic fields in the Village right now, and all groups are expecting to see significant growth in the coming years due to the projected enrollment increase in the Oregon School District. Additionally, with all fields in the Village being natural grass and no drainage tiles, we have concerns about wear and tear of constant use.
Looking Ahead: Uniforms We will have new Competitive and Academy uniforms starting in the 2021-22 season. There was not an option from adidas to continue using the same style of uniforms, so we decided to go in a different direction. Still adidas, though. We are the final stages of an agreement to continue our partnership with Oregon Community Bank, which is now known as One Community Bank, to continue as our jersey sponsor for Competitive and Academy uniforms. Recreational uniforms will remain the same.
