The Board of Directors of the Oakville Soccer Club (OSC) is delighted to announce that Katryna Indewey is OSC’s new Executive Director (ED) effective May 17, 2021. Katryna emerged from a highly competitive selection process and becomes the first female OSC Executive Director.

Katryna joined OSC seven years ago as the Manager of Marketing & Communications and progressed to the level of Director on the leadership team. Since September 2020, Katryna has served as Senior Acting Director of OSC to provide interim leadership until the appointment of a new ED.

As Senior Acting Director, Katryna has been instrumental in the planning, contingency planning and pivots required by OSC’s leadership team to navigate the various restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Katryna has worked tirelessly during this time with stakeholders, including OSC members, staff and volunteers, the Town of Oakville, soccer governance bodies, sponsors, suppliers and community organizations.

Katryna is a key liaison for OSC with regional soccer clubs, Ontario Soccer, Peel-Halton Soccer Association and Canada Soccer Association. She is a marketing and communications leader, both behind the scenes for OSC, and as a regular presenter, moderator and guest speaker on soccer-related issues on various platforms.

Katryna and the OSC staff team have played a crucial role in recent recognition and accomplishments, including three Ontario Soccer Gold Club Excellence Awards and the Canada Soccer National Youth Soccer Club Licence. She brings the insight of an insider and the fresh vision of a new leader on how OSC can continue to create a positive soccer experience and contribute to the Oakville and soccer communities.

We thank all stakeholders for their continuing unwavering support of the Oakville Soccer Club, especially in the circumstances of the last year, and look forward to working with Katryna in the years ahead. Please join us in congratulating Katryna on her new role as OSC Executive Director.

Thank you for your interest in OSC's Outdoor Recreational Soccer Programs! The Club is extremely excited for the 2021 Summer Outdoor Season, and is currently in the planning phase for all leagues and programs!

On Friday, November 13, 2020, the Region of Halton was moved to the red ‘Control’ level of the Province of Ontario’s COVID-19 framework.

On Wednesday, November 18th, OSC announced the Club had made the difficult decision to cancel programs until January 4, 2021.
OSC staff worked hard to assess all options that would solution that would be equitable for all teams and players while providing the positive soccer experience the Club commited to upon registration. Unfortunately with the volume of teams and players within the Club and limited resources due to mandate changes, the ultimate decision was to resume program in the new year. The Club is working on various strategies to ensure we are able to resume programming in January in line with the mandates that may be in place at the time. We understand that this is disappointing for our players; we share in that disappointment as we would certainly rather see teams on the field. We ask for your continued support throughout this difficult situation.

All ADP, OPDL, RDP, Active Oscars and Open Development Program registrations have received information about credits/refunds for their respective programs. If you did not receive the email sent on Wednesday, November 18th, please email info@oakvillesoccer.ca with your player's full name and program and the information will be forwarded to you. 

OSC staff have designed an interim 4-week program in line with mandates in the red 'Control' level of the Province's framework that will be available to limited recreational age groups as well as ADP, OPDL and RDP players. This information will be availabile online on Thursday, November 19th for recreational players, and will be sent via TeamSnap to all ADP, OPDL and RDP players. Given the current mandates and resources available, limited spaces are available for these programs.

The Club will continue to monitor this situation closely and will provide an update regarding programming next week. 

Any questions can be directed to info@oakvillesoccer.ca.

Again, we thank you for your continued support and patience during this time of uncertainty.

Stay safe and take good care.
