“We are committed to providing expanded programming to better serve our members,” OSA Manager of Coach Development Mark Marshall said. “With the support of Waterloo Minor Soccer Club, and the City of Waterloo, we are able to bring the Soccer Development Conference to RIM Park, which can accommodate multiple workshop sessions simultaneously and allow for participants to network and share ideas.”
