PROGRAM
PROGRAM INFORMATION
Oklahoma Celtic is a proud member of both the Boys and Girls Elite Clubs Regional League. ECNL RL brings the highest level of competition and professionalism to our U13 -U19 players. The league will challenge our players in every match to be their best and allow for the perfect developmental platform and exposure for our members. We believe in the total athlete and supporting high school soccer, this platform allows us to give the highest levels of opportunity while still allowing players to develop in other sports and have the opportunity to participate in their high schools. Please search our ECRL link to find all information on the program.
The Competitive Division of soccer begins at U-11. Oklahoma Celtic division of soccer is the most competitive level of play in NYSA. Our competitive players and coaches will demonstrate the highest level of commitment to excellence in skills, fitness, work ethic, attitude, and sportsmanship.
We believe in developing players to be their best, not in training for results. We will not take shortcuts in the developmental process. Our players will be asked to compete at their highest level each day at training so that they may develop to their maximum potential. The development of our players comes before the development of our teams and its success.
Teams play on a yearly basis with winter break mid-December-mid January, and summer break in June & July. Camps run through the month of June & July and team training starts up the first week in August. Teams will compete in leagues that best challenge their level in the OPC state league or ECNL Regional League(s). Teams will compete in 4 - 6 tournaments annually. The competitive season culminates with the OPC State Cup in May to determine state Champions in multiple levels of competition.
The Competitive Registration Fees and Monthly Fees are determined by the NYSA Board of Directors and published before each tryout year. Please refer to Financial Page under the Competitive Page for a breakdown of expenses due to the NYSA club and individual teams.
Scholarship applicants need to email Jessica Knehans by the end of tryouts and they will register after the scholarship committee has made their decisions the following week. Jessica’s email: administrator@oklahomacelic.com

WITHDRAWAL INFORMATION - EMAIL ADMINISTRATOR@OKLAHOMACELTIC.COM with Competitive Withdrawal Form (You’ll find the form below)
There will be a withdrawal fee for a competitive player to move to another club. All fees due to the club and team must be paid before the release of the player to leave/transfer from our club. The following is required from parents before billing will be discontinued.
1. Parents need to email the administrator at administrator@oklahomaceltic.com giving the reason for withdrawal. After all team fees are covered, NYSA will discontinue monthly billing-we reserve 30 days to complete this transaction and the process begins once the paperwork is received in the NYSA office. It is 100% the responsibility of the PARENT OR PLAYER, not the coach/manager to initiate this process and refunds will not be retroactive. Withdrawal at the beginning of the season, the player will forfeit their registration fee to the club.
FUNDRAISING FOR TEAMS/PLAYERS ON TEAMS
Many teams will fundraise to cover an individual event (tournament) or to allow players to assist in funding their individual accounts. NO fundraising monies will be given to players who withdraw or transfer to another team with NYSA. These funds were raised to support a team and donors/sponsors acknowledge this when making a donation. Only funds provided by parents themselves will be available for refund after all team expenses that have already been billed through the team account are paid in full.
