The Royal Oak Football Club (formerly ROYSA) has been serving our community for over 45 years as a non-profit soccer organization.  Royal Oak FC is one of the largest clubs in the state of Michigan, providing a recreational program as well as a premier program.  Royal Oak FC has over 2,000 players participating each season in our programs.   

ROFC offers recreational soccer programs for kids ages 3 up to 18 years old (through Spring of Senior year) and will make sure we have a spot for EVERY SINGLE PLAYER that registers by July 31, 2024 for the Fall soccer season. If you played with us in the Spring season and loved your team, make sure you register by the 'same team deadline' of June 30th to guarantee a returning spot on that team. Open registration will continue to remain open to everyone until July 31st, after which time we will begin to put teams together. ROFC will assign players to teams and you will be contacted by your coach in August with practice and game schedules.  During registration, you may request to play with a friend, or on a specific team, and we will do our best to meet that request (no guarantees).

Each team will have weekly practices and play 10 games between September and early November. These teams cannot exist without our volunteer parent coaches. Please consider volunteering as a Head Coach or Assistant Coach - sign up in your player's registration and you will be contacted with more information!

** Our 3 and 4-year-old program, called Little Renegades, has a finite number of spots and will take registrations only until the program is full.  Register early, this is a very popular program. Click on the Little Renegades tab to learn more***

A few other important notes:

• Each of our 150+ teams is led by parent volunteer coaches. A coach must be in place for each team by the end of the Registration Deadline. ROFC assists all coaches with practice ideas, training and communications with teams.
• Late registration commences on August 1st and will only be used to fill open spots on existing teams.  A $20 late fee will apply.  Late registration is subject to early closure as teams reach roster capacity.
• You will be contacted prior to the start of your season by your coach with details, instructions and schedules.  Please be patient as ROFC is busy forming teams.
• You are not fully registered unless you receive a confirmation email.

REFUND POLICY: Refunds of registration fees will be given if requested in writing by March 1 for the Spring Season and August 1 for the Fall Season, less an administrative fee of $10.00.
