Welcome to the 2005 Fall Season

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 Mission
To provide the best
possible soccer
program, one that
provides both a safe &
enjoyable experience
for the all of the
