Register Early and Avoid
Late Fees
We encourage families to register early
to avoid late fees and to ensure
placement on teams.
Don’t forget to mail in the registration
form as soon as you get it so that it is not
forgotten over the short summer months
ahead. If you need a form, please go to
our website at OOSL Registration Form.
In Loving Memory
OOSL has lost another beloved coach
this spring season. Terry Smiles passed
away on May 6th, 2015. He loved
running marathons, coaching soccer,
attending his kids’ sporting events,
family summer vacations in Frankfort,
and his beloved Sparties. He had a great
sense of humor and loved being around
his family. Terry is survived by his wife
Kristi and his two children Lindsey and
Benjamin. Rest in peace Terry, you will
be missed.
Stay up to date on OOSL
We ask that all of our player families
register at cancellations.com. Remember
to select both Orion Oxford Soccer
League and Orion Township. This is the
site that the league and township uses to
notify families with: jersey sales,
registration dates, field closures for
practices and games. The site is
completely free and easy to use. If you
need additional information on
cancellations.com, please contact the
league president, Gary Gould at
presoosl@comcast.net.
