About Us
Start Strong Finish Stronger...
OFC is an organization built by volunteers with dozens of years of Club experience. Now in our 16th year of operation, it is our focus to promote excellence in the development of soccer players in Oconee County and the surrounding area. Come see how we can provide your players with fundamental to advanced skills that will allow them to grow into the players they imagine.
OconeeFC is a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization that offers soccer instruction and competition for boys and girls, ages 5–18.
Established in 2008, the soccer club is growing and will evolve as soccer increases in popularity in our area, Georgia, and the U.S.
OFC is affiliated with United States Youth Soccer through Georgia Soccer. Focusing on Individual Player DevelopmentBeginning with the youngest age groups, training sessions focus on the love of the game and mastery of individual ball-handling skills.
OFC’s soccer programs progressively instruct and challenge participants using a developmentally sound curriculum. Each program is designed for the physical, mental, social, and emotional development of the participants. Tactics and emphasis on game results take a back seat until players are skilled enough with the ball and developmentally ready to play as a team. Long-term player development takes priority over short-term results.
Serving the Community, OFC’s comprehensive soccer training is conducted at Oconee Veteran’s Park Soccer Complex. Within the OFC programs, many area high schools (public and private) are represented, along with their middle schools.Qualified Professional Coaches
OFC’s professional coaches and trainers share a common commitment to player development and must possess USSF or NSCAA certification. All are former soccer players at the collegiate or professional levels; many are or have been area college or high school coaches. All are passionate about the game of soccer.
OFC’s trainer system enables players to receive instruction from the entire staff of coaches, not just one, maximizing learning and exposing each player to the endless creativity the game of soccer encourages.
Proven Success OFC players and teams demonstrate consistent success within statewide leagues. They also proudly represent OFC on their high school teams. Club teammates become fierce rivals, elevating the excitement and quality of area high school soccer. Many players under this coaching staff have gone on to play college soccer at all levels from D1 to NAIA.
Where kids learn more than a game OFC players become technically and tactically skilled in the game of soccer, acquire a confident “can-do” attitude, and develop a lifelong love of sport and fitness. Many OFC players are certified USSF referees, officiating league games and tournaments throughout the state; others complete USSF certification to serve as coaches/trainers for OFC’s programs; and all contribute to the club as volunteers. As adults, OFC players will continue to support the game of soccer as players, fans, coaches, referees, and the next generation of soccer moms and dads.

With developmentally sound soccer programs, qualified coaches and trainers, ample training space, and plans for future expansion, Oconee SA will continue to attract aspiring youth soccer players of all ages and levels who desire to reach their potential as athletes and individuals through “the beautiful game.”Oconee FC is operating as a GA Soccer Affiliate Member and US Club Member for Select (Classic & Athena), Academy.
