OAKLEIGH SOCCER CLUB HISTORY

The Oakleigh Soccer Club was established in 1972. Initially it was the creation of a few young Soccer enthusiasts who funded the establishment of the club themselves. The Club is located at the Jack Edward’s Reserve, Edward Street Oakleigh. (Mel. Ref. 69 H9)

 On the historic date of December 12 1972 the South Oakleigh Soccer Club was inaugurated into the Victorian Soccer Federation.

 During the Club’s 30 Year history, it has won 9 Premierships, 3 Runner’s up, 1 Youth Championship and a great number of Junior Competition Trophies in all age groups. It has also won a number of Cups in both Provisional and Metropolitan Leagues.

 The Club was runners-up in the 2004 Victorian Premier League, which represents the Highest Level of Soccer in the state and currently in this state of Victoria 2008.

 CLUB STRUCTURE

 Oakleigh Cannons FC is a non-profit making organisation governed by an elected Executive Committee of up to 15 Members.

 There are also several other committees in place who offer other extra assistance to the club as required. The Junior Committee is one such committee that has been set up to manage the enormous tasks required at this level.

 All the people involved in these committees offer their skills, services, and time, voluntarily. Their only reward is the Club’s success and it’s progress.

 The salaried staff consists of the Senior Team Players and their Coach, the Reserve Team active Players and Coach, as well as all the Coaches for the Junior Teams. Qualified Coaches are appointed to each team as we believe this to be important for the development of Junior Players within the club.
