Ole Soccer Club

Ole SC is a soccer club based in Grand Rapids, Michigan that provides the opportunity to serious and commited soccer players. Ole holds pride in offering a unique style of play called the "latican style". Ole's method of coaching and club philosophy is original and not "straight out the books". The way of living your soccer life is a movement that has been created by Ole's own Director Of Coaching, Jose Fabian Rodriguez and passed on to our members by our Ole coaches and volunteers. We praise creativity and develop attack oriented players, who play with heart, imagination and make magic with the ball. The most important part of the Ole philosophy is to look at our club members as a family. The Ole coaches work hard to strengthen our players values, set a positive environment and most important, promote soccer as a fun experience through our "latican style".

Ole will begin it's third year as a club this 2009/2010 season, with currently 12 youth select teams competing in different leagues, tournaments and training year round. Ole SC begins at the bottom by offering a Youth Developmental Program for boys and girls U4-U9. The YDP is a fast growing program in our club and one day will be the main feeder program for Ole SC select teams. To complete the player development process, at Ole we also offer an Adult program for players who are interested in continuing their soccer career with the club. Our Adult program consists of 3 teams, Ole Men's division 1, Ole Men's division 2 and the Ole Women's team.

POINTS SYSTEM:

A win by a nutmeg is 3 points. The nutmeg must be a successful nutmeg. A successful nutmeg is when a player plays the ball between an opponents legs and wins possession of the ball on the other side of his legs, and holds it for at least a second.
A win by most goals scored is 2 points.
A tie is 1 point.
In case of a tie with points follow this:

If there is a tie with points in the first and second rounds, players follow number of nutmegs, number of goals scored, and the final decision is a coin toss.
If there is a tie in the third and final round during the game it will go down to a 1 minute of over time. The first goal or nutmeg wins the match. If it exceeds the 1 minute of time it will go to a penalty shoot out. Players will shoot from the opposing players end line. Each player will take three shots alternating back and forth. The players will not shoot in to goal, but instead they must hit a side post of the goal

GAME PLAY RULES:

Every game will start on time. There is no grace period.
Clock will be running there is no stoppage time or injury time.
The game is 1v1 with a time of 3 minutes each game. In the fourth round (finals) the games are two halves of 2 minutes with a rest period of 1 minute.
No time outs.
At kickoff both players with their tip of their sole on the ball, and referee will announce to play.
If the ball leaves the playing area a dribble-in will be awarded. In a dribble-in the dribbler is given 3 yards of space to bring the ball back into play.
No corner kicks.
A player may not dribble out on purpose to award a dribble in. If a player dribbles out on purpose it will award the opponent a penalty kick.
No guarding the goal. The defending player should always try to defend.
There are three types of fouls.

Level 1 foul - For a level 1 foul the player being fouled will receive a re-start giving that player possession of the ball at his/her end of the field.
Level 2 foul - A level 2 foul will be awarded for a more severe foul. The player will be given a penalty shot from the opposing player’s end line. A level 2 foul will be called when there is a clear goal scoring opportunity, guarding the goal or an intentional handball.
Level 3 foul – In case of serious foul the player could be disqualified for that match and 2 points can be taken away from their total points. Decision is made by the referee and the Director of the Tournament
