The OSC Director: Coach Perry - Because you have been a good steward and faithful with a little, I will ...
Coach Steven Perry is the OSC Director and has been an intergral and driving force behind the development and growth of grassroots soccer in the Clinton and surrounding communities for over the past decade. He brings a wealth of coaching, leadership and management experience to his role as the OSC Director of Programs. As a military dependent, he went to elementary school in Japan, middle school in Montana, and Jr. High School in Germany and Georgia. Through this experience he recognized that soccer was a major international sport that was overlooked for the youth in the local community where the focus was primarily on American football and basketball. He took the charge and set the goal to nurture, teach and make soccer affordable for every kid to enjoy in Prince Georges County that wants to learn and play. He refers his work with youth soccer as his "Soccer Ministry," believes it was a spiritual calling that urged him to serve as the team parent for his son's first soccer team and then to coach, so they could field a team for the next season, otherwise the kids would not be able to play. Since 2007, his experience and influence has touched the lives of hundreds of youth soccer players from Clinton, Camp Spring, Upper Marlboro, Oxon Hill, Fort Washington, Brandywine, Accokeek, Hyattsville, Waldorf, Allentown, Forestville, and Morningside, Andrews AFB, Temple Hills, and the list continues.....
