Spring 2020 Season:
 
Due to the most recent announcement by Governor Abbott for Youth Sports Operators (https://gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/organization/opentexas/OpenTexas-Checklist-Youth-Sports-Operators.pdf)  and the similar guidance from the City of Odessa Parks and Rec Department, it will not be possible to have a Spring 2020 season.  The Spring 2020 soccer season has been cancelled and will not be played.
 
Since the Spring 2020 soccer season will not be played, OSA would strongly encourage each of you to ROLLOVER your Spring 2020 registration fee to the Fall 2020 soccer season.  Please use the following Google Doc link (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYQ1Ia2FzAZNJh1-uUgyNoUZfuk7DjpnJr8CKCQx7jDj7Yaw/viewform ) to choose to ROLLOVER your registration fee or the other refund options for your Spring 2020 registration fee.  Please be aware that there will be a $7 admin fee for all refunds and a refund may take up to 4 weeks to complete.  If you do not respond by June 15, the registration fee will be rolled over to the Fall 2020 season.  Please use the following link:
