SOCCER IS BACK! ⚽️

Our 3rd & 4th grade teams hit the field for their first games of the 2026 season today, and they came back like they never left! The weather was perfect, our coaches made us proud, and most importantly, our players had FUN!

A huge thank you to St. George for joining us today and showing awesome sportsmanship on and off the field. We’re looking forward to a great season together!

Today also marked our first soccer concessions, run by the forming nonprofit Mariner Youth Project! Thank you to everyone who stopped by, grabbed something from the stand, cheered from the sidelines, and helped make opening day such a great one.

Yesterday marked our 3rd Annual Autism Awareness Slow Pitch Softball Tournament, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather or a better day for some softball in support of a great cause. 🥎

It’s always so much fun for Thomaston Recreation to host this event alongside the Hitmen Softball Team. Their extra support organizing makes a huge difference, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything they do to help bring this day together each year.

Seven teams took the field for a full day of double-elimination softball, with the Hitmen going undefeated and taking home the championship! 🏆 We also had quite a few new faces at the field this year, which was an added bonus and something we love to see.

A huge thank you to all the teams that came out to play and support the cause, as well as the volunteer umpires who gave their time throughout the day to keep the games moving. Events like this simply don’t happen without people willing to step up and help.

We haven’t counted the final fundraising total just yet, but we can confidently say year three was a success! 🧩

Soccer may be taking over our fields for the next couple of months, but we know it’s not every athlete’s sport! 📣

Our friends at Cheer Athletics Maine are offering a great Fall Cheer Program for kids interested in learning cheer, building skills, staying active, and being part of a team this season.

We’re always happy to share opportunities that give local kids more ways to find something they enjoy. If you have a future cheerleader at home, be sure to check out Cheer Athletics’ fall program! 💙

There’s still time to join our Fall Performance Team! 💙

Practices begin NEXT WEDNESDAY, September 9, from 6:00–7:00 PM!

Open to athletes ages 5–18, no experience needed! Athletes will learn a fun routine and perform at an Oceanside Mariners football game and our CA Maine Blue Debut Showcase!

⭐ Three monthly payments of $50
⭐ A fun, low-commitment way to experience CA Maine!

Come join the team... we can’t wait to get started!

⚽️ TONIGHT! 🥅

Just a reminder that our Oceanside Recreation Soccer Kickoff for 3rd–6th grade players is happening today, September 2nd, at the Thomaston Riverview Fields (29 Wadsworth Street).

Today is also the deadline to register for the 2026 soccer season. If you know a 3rd–6th grade player who still wants to join us, please help spread the word! We’ll have in-person registration available tonight, and online registration remains available for families who can’t make it to the kickoff.

Players should bring water and come ready to play. Cleats and shin guards are encouraged.

We’re excited to get everyone together, shake off the rust, and officially get the 2026 season underway. We’ll see you on the field tonight!

We’re excited to invite all 3rd through 6th grade Oceanside Recreation soccer players to our first in-person Registration & Skills, Coaches Conversation & Skills/Drills Kickoff Session at Thomaston Riverview Fields (29 Wadsworth Street) on Wednesday, September 2nd. ⚽️

Oceanside Coach and Pitch Director Robbie Krul and his team have generously donated their time to help us kick off the season with an evening focused on getting players moving, working through skills and drills, and giving our volunteer coaches an opportunity to get involved before teams and schedules are finalized.

⚽️ Kickoff Night Schedule:
Volunteer Coaches:
Please arrive between 5:00–5:15 PM

⚽️ Players:
Please arrive and be ready to go by 5:15 PM
Skills & Drills: 5:15–6:45 PM

⚽️ Coach Meeting: 6:45–7:00 PM

This will also be our opportunity for in-person registration, so if you know a family with an athlete who is interested in playing but hasn’t registered yet, please encourage them to come down! We want to make sure every interested athlete has a chance to join us before teams are finalized.

Please help us spread the word to friends, classmates, neighbors, and other Oceanside families. The more players and coaches we can get together for our kickoff, the better start we can give everyone heading into the season.

A huge thank you to Robbie and his team for supporting Oceanside Recreation and donating their time to our young athletes. We’re looking forward to getting everyone on the field!
