Programs

The Oregon Recreation and Jerusalem Township Recreation Departments would like to welcome you and your child to the 2025 FALL soccer season.

Program Information: Our teams will play in the East Suburban Soccer League (ESSL) that plays by Soccer Association for Youth (S.A.Y.) soccer rules. This is a recreation travel league. Players are required to play half of every game, and there are no tryouts. Half of the games will be played in Oregon and the other half will be in communities like Oak Harbor, Northwood, Lake, Genoa, Woodville, Port Clinton, Fremont, and others.

Players in the U8(born 2017/18), U10(born 2015/16), U12(born 2013/14), and U14(born 2011/12), boys and girls, register for ESSL soccer. Due to time commitments of team games and practices for each sport, players SHOULD NOT play in other sport programs during this SAME season (i.e. Flag and soccer) If you do attempt this, be aware you are likely to have to choose between one or the other at some time as conflicts are likely to arise.

Registration Information: Registration runs from June 26 and ends on July 27.

The program is open to Oregon residents, Jerusalem Township residents, and non-resident students for the 2025-2026 school year.
