program overview
Rec Soccer
Rec soccer (recreational soccer) is designed for players of all skill levels and focuses on fun, learning, and inclusivity. It provides a less competitive environment, typically with local practices and games, making it ideal for beginners or those playing for enjoyment.
Travel Soccer
Travel soccer is more competitive, involving players who have developed strong foundational skills and seek to improve at a higher level. Travel teams compete in regional or state leagues and tournaments, requiring greater commitment in terms of time, travel, and training intensity.
We offer one of the best soccer training in the Oxon Hill area.
Oxon Hill Soccer Club (OHSC) will offer both Rec and Travel training for players aged 5-18 in the Fall of 2025, We cater to both recreational and competitive players. Our program includes:

Physical Fitness: Enhancing players' endurance, strength, agility, and overall athletic performance.

Benefits of the Winter Program
Maintain and Elevate Technical Skills
Continuous touch repetition in winter prevents regression. Players refine first touch, dribbling, passing accuracy, and shooting mechanics through high-quality, focused drills.
Accelerate Tactical Understanding
Winter provides uninterrupted time to teach positional responsibilities, team shape, and game phases. Small-sided play accelerates decision-making under pressure and improves situational awareness.
Improve Physical Preparedness
Age-appropriate strength, speed, and conditioning work reduces injury risk and improves endurance, agility, and explosiveness heading into spring. Players return to outdoor season fitter and more resilient.
Individualized Development
Smaller groups and focused training allow coaches to identify specific technical or tactical gaps and create tailored drills and targets for each player—leading to faster, measurable improvement.
Boost Confidence and Competitive Edge
Regular coached sessions and internal competitions maintain competitive sharpness, build self-assurance, and enhance composure in tight-game situations.
Smooth Transition to Spring Season
Players who participate in winter training adapt more quickly to spring practices and matches, enabling teams to implement more advanced game plans early in the season.
Injury Prevention and Load Management
Emphasis on mobility, core strength, and progressive conditioning reduces overuse injuries. Coaches monitor training load to balance development and recovery through winter’s demands.
Team Cohesion and Chemistry
Consistent practice time fosters better communication, understanding of teammates’ tendencies, and stronger on-field relationships—key for team success.
Positive Off-Season Routine
Provides structure and healthy activity during winter months, reinforcing discipline, routine, and commitment to long-term development.
Exposure to Advanced Coaching Methods
Access to current coaching techniques, video analysis, and individual feedback exposes players to best practices that accelerate learning and performance.
Program Outcomes & Measurement
Baseline and end-of-program skill assessments (dribbling, passing, shooting accuracy).
Fitness benchmarks (short-sprint times, agility tests, endurance measures) where age-appropriate.
Coach evaluations documenting technical progress and tactical understanding.
Player and parent feedback surveys to track satisfaction and perceived improvement.
