Available Programs


Oshkosh United has a variety of programs depending upon the age of the player. Most programs have some age overlap so a player might have multiple options depending upon the experience the player/family is seeking.

  • U5-U6: United Juniors: Introductory soccer program that takes place during the summer and features one event a week that is part practice and part game. All events are in Oshkosh except for a few optional scrimmages in Neenah. 
  • U8 - U10: Academy: Bridge soccer program between recreational and select soccer that features open registration (no tryouts). Players have two practices a week and one game a week. Academy teams play other local Academy programs and participate in one local tournament each season.
  • U11 - U19 Select/Elite: Players tryout in June to join a Select team for the fall and/or spring season. Select teams practice twice a week and play in one game a week. Select teams have fall and spring seasons and each team attends two tournaments in the fall and two tournaments in the spring. Select teams compete in the local East Central League. Teams that finish first or second in the East Central League may apply to join the WI Youth Soccer State League which features stronger competition with most games occurring in the Milwaukee or Madison area.
