First Team
In most countries, there is no divide between youth and senior clubs. Every club has both, and the players who are a part of the youth teams are playing with the goal of one day representing the first team. Oakland Soccer Club is an organization that caters to all ages where the youth players can follow and support the first team whilst the senior team players can, in turn, support the youth.
When a youth player comes through to finally wear the first team jersey, the whole community can celebrate the efforts made by everyone to help that player to get to this step in their soccer career. Club alumni stay involved and support the club for life, rather than finishing at 18, heading off to college and then losing touch with the people that played such a huge part in their early years.

DEVELOPMENT SQUAD
Second Team
Our Development Squad is the team that bridges a pathway from our youth program into our First Team. Players in our U16-U19 program who demonstrate a high potential may get minutes in this team. Those highly skilled youth players who are not quite ready for the NPSL can develop faster against stronger SFSFL competition to prepare them for a shot on the First Team roster.
