Hi OCSC Families,

Happy New year! 

I’m light of recent announcements from the Province related to new COVID restrictions made today, we wanted to keep you up to date on what this means for the OCSC.

Effective January 3rd, all OCSC programming will be paused until at least January 26th when facilities are set to re-open.

This few-week pause is based on information currently available and can change at any given time. Our go-forward plans will be dependent on facilities re-opening and any guidance/directives provided by our governing bodies (Government of Ontario, Ottawa Public Health, Ontario Soccer).

We understand how challenging this has been to our program and we appreciate your patience & understanding over the past few weeks. We appreciate everything our Coaches have done to keep our players both active & safe!!

This is disappointing for so many, but know that we will get through this together and we will return from this in an effort to finish our Winter programs.

We will keep you up to date on the latest during this time should new developments occur.

Once we have a definite return date, we will communicate plans for missed sessions at that time.

Thanks, everyone for your patience and understanding.

As we look back at this previous year, we wanted to share the best moments on our social media. We are encouraging everyone to submit their nomination for their most memorable moment of the past year for a chance to be voted by our members and followers as OCSC's best moment of 2021! We are looking for photos or videos of gameplay (your team's best goal, an individual moment of brilliance, team move), happiest moment in OCSC gear, etc. 

Submission instructions:

1. Send your nominations to lucas.blain@ottawacitysoccer.com by January 15th.

2. To clip videos on Veo:

- Click "Create" in the All Highlights sidebar when viewing your video.
- Select a tag for your highlight (i.e., Attack, Defence, Goal, Individual Outplay, etc.)
- Select the timeframe for your clip. Ensure the clip is as short as possible while showing the entire action.
- Add a comment if you want.
- Select the visibility as Public so I can find it!
- When finished, click "Create Highlight".
- After this, you'll be able to download the highlight.

3. Pictures submitted must be with visible OCSC gear, and given a short caption for context.

4. Consent to having your photo shared on the club's socials.
