Welcome New Coaches

We are…OMM Soccer- incorporated in 1962. A volunteer run recreational sports program (one of the largest in the tri-state area) who also runs World Class F.C.- our premier travel soccer program, and Buddyball Sports- a recreational sports program for children with special needs.

Working with the town we have made the commitment to help provide additional playing areas. The building you are in, the turf field outside, and the lights at the soccer complex was paid for by us. The majority of the costs to maintain the complex are paid for by the league.

Our MissionTo provide the best possible soccer program, one that provides both a safe & enjoyable experience for the all of the participants - especially the children - in our program.
