OAKWOOD DOLPHINS SWIM TEAM
Miami Valley Swim Association League
June 6 - July 15
(Championship practice only ~ July 18 - 22)
The program goal is to provide a fun, positive swim team experience for swimmers of all skill levels in an
inclusive and team building environment. Swimmers can expect the coaching staff to provide large group
endurance training, some technical instruction and team coaching at meets. Swim lessons are strongly
encouraged for swimmers of all ages who want and/or need individualized instruction. Swim team
should not be viewed as a substitute for group swim lessons.
Each family must provide one parent worker for every home meet in which you have a participating
swimmer.
For the 2016 season, Molly McGinnis will be the swim team parent representative.
PLEASE NOTE:
All new swimmers 6 years of age and younger must have a safety evaluation done prior to registering for
swim team. The safety evaluation will be looking for swimmer’s confidence and ability to be safe in the
water. This is not a stroke evaluation. Safety evaluations can be done anytime the pool is open by the Pool
Manager on duty. The safety evaluation will be reviewed by the Recreation Supervisor and families will be
contacted with a recommendation.

United Soccer Club
(ages 7 - 13)
All children are welcome! Oakwood United Soccer Club will have a representative on site each night.
Street Soccer Philosophy
The game is the teacher. - Players will learn to play all on their own by design, no formal coaching will be offered.
Let the children develop the skills of learning within the game.
The game is for kids. - This program is offered to let children play and they don’t need adults to do that. Adult
involvement will be minimal and will focus on safety. Let the children develop skills of making their own decision.
The structure is informal. - Beyond setting up some goals, laying out some cones, and helping to make teams: no
formal organization or coaching will be done. Let the children develop the skills of organizing their own fun.
Drop-In Soccer Details:
Players should warm-up on their own. Late comers will be added to games or formed on new team.
All efforts will be made to have friends play together, however the object is to play and not have too many on a team.
No planned periods of play are defined. If the players decide that a water break is necessary, it should be taken. The break
times should be kept short (1-2 minutes at most). Don’t forget to bring a water bottle!
There are no strict requirements on attire. Shin guards are required, cleats are optional and appropriate clothing for the
weather is strongly suggested.
Players can leave as needed. Teams will adjust.

FRIDAY NIGHT YOUTH/ADULT/FAMILY OPEN FIELDS
at Old River Sports Complex
Looking for something to do this summer on Friday nights? Come down to the Old River Sports Complex
for Youth Open Soccer, Adult Open Fields and Family Open Fields.
Youth Open Soccer. Take this opportunity to bring your kids down to Old River Sports Complex to
practice on their soccer skills. These open fields give boys and girls the opportunity to play, practice and
learn the sport of soccer without being coached. Coaches/Parents are encouraged to come down with
players and teams. Coaches/parents help maintain order, bring equipment and set boundaries but should not
coach children. This allows children to learn at their own pace while having fun. If children are under the
age of 10, parents are required to stay and older children’s parents are encouraged to stay.
Adult Open Fields. Stop by Old River Sports Complex for a pickup game of soccer or ultimate frisbee.
This is a great way to unwind on a Friday night.
Family Open Fields. Bring the whole family down to Old River Sports Complex and enjoy some family
bonding time by passing a football, kicking around a soccer ball, or breaking in the new baseball glove.
This is a great way to start your weekend.
