To accomplish this goal the C.A.P.’s program will:

• Establish an effective interface between the WSA Soccer Club and the cities of Sand Springs, Sapulpa, and Tulsa in order to identify and constructively address areas of need within the community.
            
• Develop and promote programs (i.e. TOPSoccer) in partnership with our state and national associations, i.e. Oklahoma Soccer Association, USYSA, US Club Soccer, etc. that seek to serve the underprivileged or less fortunate.
   
• Energize club members to develop effective “outreach” programs and make purposeful charitable contributions through the framework of their individual teams.
   
• Promote a spirit of volunteerism at every level of club operations.
   
• Offer charitable donations of club resources of time, talent, funds, and manpower to support and promote grassroots efforts of other soccer clubs or programs that serve our youth.

 

 

The West Side Alliance Soccer Club remains committed and dedicated to Service, Charity, and Community.

CAPs PROGRAMS

The WSA Community Action Program has been around for years, but under the guise of the generous hearts of our volunteers. This is the first opportunity we have taken as a club to advertise these good deeds. Long overdue, we want to prioritize our efforts in the community, maintain a commitment that is already inherent in our club membership, and advocate an expansion of outreach efforts. The following are a few of our current Community Action Programs active at West Side Alliance.  

Outreach Clinics
Our annual Spring soccer clinics at various local soccer clubs reach hundreds of kids per year. The clinics are hosted at the home club’s or school’s facilities and our professional coaching staff volunteers it’s service and time to make the journey to the named venue to help out the young kids. The cost is FREE and the coaching staff we provide often includes marquee collegiate and professional players who offer instruction, games, and sometimes, when asked, autographs.  The WSA “roadshow” has expanded to several outlying communities in recent years.  To set up a WSA “roadshow” FREE clinic for your club contact WSA Director of Coaching, Roger Bush, RogerWSA@aol.com.

Gear Cycle
The Sand Springs Soccer Club offers a “Shoe Bank” that includes used but still in good condition shoes, socks, and shin guards. All equipment in the recycle bin is FREE to anyone who has a need. If you have shoes you have outgrown but are still in good condition, or if you received a new pair of guards from Santa, check with any club administrator on how to donate your old gear to the “recycle bin”, and give it new life. The recycle bin is usually available most nights of training, and is available during weekend Saturday matches. 

Mentor Coaches
The WSA “alumni” program has established a tradition of giving back to their home soccer community as many of the graduated and collegiate level players donate their time each May and June at the “All-Star Soccer” and “FutAction” soccer camps for the younger kids. In addition several of the current “senior” level WSA players serve as volunteer youth coaches in the Sand Springs Soccer Club u6, u8, and u10 programs. The mentor influence of these high school kids on our younger players throughout the year is also evident as they serve as counselors at camps, clinics, etc. 

Rivercity Parks Work Day
Each Summer, Fall, and Spring our volunteers contribute manpower hours to not only the enhancement of our training and playing grounds, but the beautification of the Rivercity Parks off Wekiwa Road.

Team Community Action Functions 
From trash pick-up, to canned food drives, to helping fill sack lunches for the needy, WSA teams get involved in a variety of community service and outreach efforts.

Amigos Task Force
The field crew.  From developing, renovating, to maintaining, this group of parent volunteers does it all. The objective of the Amigos Task Force is to provide fields and top class facilities for the players of WSA. It is not limited to just "dudes", even though the group’s preferred moniker is "Smoking Hot Dudes".  Any parent or player can join the Amigos and participate in our club’s massive field improvement, acquisition, and development project.   

WSA West Side Soccer League Outreach Project 
WSA and Eugene Field Elementary have cooperated to bring soccer to the Eugene Field Panther Elementary School. The program began in the Spring of 2008 and has slowly grown to include other outreach teams.  The purpose of the league program is to bring soccer and sport to many youth who would not otherwise be exposed to the opportunity and joy that sport provides. If you are interested in forming a team for the West Side Soccer League please contact league commissioner, Roger Bush, at RogerWSA@aol.com.
