Development meets opportunity
For Dayton-area players working toward college soccer, development and recruitment should happen together. Train with IFC Dayton, build film from real competition, and work with Oliver Charles to approach programs that fit your playing level, academics and budget.
The program runs within IFC Dayton’s senior men’s soccer environment at Stuart Field on the University of Dayton campus. UPSL matchday opportunities are earned through readiness and selection.
We assess every player before offering a place. Share your goals and playing background so we can discuss fit, timing and any participation terms.

Common questions
Players exploring college soccer or a transfer can create their Connect account with their parent. OCS reviews the playing, academic and budget picture before discussing suitable opportunities.
Each person uses their own login. The person who starts the player profile invites the others to the same profile. Accept that invitation rather than creating a second profile.
Creating a Connect account and building the profile are free. There is no upfront OCS management fee or automatic monthly retainer. Optional recruiting services have their own prices. Any club training, kit, competition or residential programme is agreed separately.
No. Squad selection depends on readiness, eligibility and the coach’s decision. College offers depend on playing level, academics, programme needs and available places.
Share your commitments with OCS and the coaching team. Confirm suitability and any school, club or governing-body participation rules before accepting a separate programme place.
Build the profile with your family and submit it for OCS review. We give practical feedback. Once approved, coaches can view the profile; you choose whether to unlock introduction requests and any further support.
