The Orono Westonka Soccer Youth Development Program (YDP) is for players 2 - 8 years old looking for a soccer experience that emphasizes participation, learning and fun. Our program offers youth players the opportunity to learn the skills, techniques and rules of soccer in a fun and healthy environment.
Winter training will be hosted inside at our Welu Group Training Complex at 5314 Shoreline Dr, Mound, MN 55364. Days and times will be defined on the registration form for the specific winter season.
OWSC relies on volunteer parent coaches for all of our YDP teams. Please consider volunteering to coach your child's team - you can sign up in the registration. No experience is needed!
