Odenton Soccer Academy (Odenton SA) is a minority and veteran led soccer organization based in Odenton, Maryland within the Anne-Arundel County. The organization was founded by a group of friends and former players originally from various backgrounds. They have a combined 80 years of experience in soccer. These soccer lovers seek to provide youths in Anne-Arundel county and the entire state of Maryland with the opportunity to grow their passions and skills in the beautiful game of soccer. We strive to contribute to the spread and love of soccer as a sport and culture bridge between young people. We believe in bringing people together through soccer and giving back our knowledge of the sport to our beloved community. We believe that organized sport can contribute in teaching young children the necessary skills to succeed in life and thus bettering the community as a whole. In the future, organization plans to affiliate the teams with the local and state youth soccer associations, which will allow players to participate in various tournaments. The teams will be active in the fall and spring seasons.
