ABOUT OLE SOCCER CLUB

THE BEGINNING

OLe Soccer was started by Jose Fabian Rodriguez in January 2006 as a training business for players and teams in West Michigan.  Offering teams and individual players training, clinics, and summer camps.  Then forming teams at the U6 and U7 age levels during the winter led to the idea of turning OLe Soccer into a soccer club.

OLE?

In most parts of the world "ole" is a soccer chant recited in stadiums by soccer fanatics.  In Mexico "ole" is used to taunt an opponent or team when being dominated.  This name was chosen for the club because of the playing style (latican style) taught at OLe SC.  To OLe Soccer Club "OLe" represents an attack that dominates any opposition.

Latican Style

Latican is the style created by OLe SC's Director of Coaching Jose Fabian Rodriguez.  It is a combination between the Latino and American styles of soccer.  The American method of coaching with the Latino way to handle the ball.  "This style will make the ball the most entertaining toy in the world" (Jose Fabian Rodriguez).
