BSC Alumni & Success Stories
From First Touch to Lifelong Impact
Every player begins with a dream.
At Brazilian Soccer Club, we are honored to be part of that journey — from the very first touch of the ball to the opportunities that follow beyond Okinawa.
This page celebrates the athletes who developed through our BSS, BSA, and BSC pathways and have gone on to achieve success both on and off the field. Some continued competing at high school, collegiate, and international levels. Others have built careers, served their communities, started families, and become leaders in their own fields.
Each story represents more than athletic achievement.
It reflects discipline, growth, resilience, and character — the core values that define BSC.
Because at Brazilian Soccer Club, success is not measured only by where you play — But by the lifelong impact you carry forward.
The BSC Path in Action
Through consistent training, mentorship, and competitive experience, our players grow step by step toward higher levels of the game.
Over the years, many BSC athletes have:
• Earned collegiate opportunities
• Continued playing overseas
• Competed at advanced levels
• Represented teams internationally
Preparation creates opportunity.
60+ players have advanced beyond Okinawa —
earning scholarships and competing at higher levels worldwide.
Success Beyond Soccer
While many alumni continue in competitive soccer, others have built successful lives in different fields. Former BSC players are now pilots, military members, university graduates, professionals, leaders, and parents.
The values developed at BSC — discipline, resilience, leadership, and accountability — extend far beyond the field.
Success is not one path.
It is growing in every direction.

Tyler Oakley
Tyler Oakley is a BSC Alumni that played with us while his stay at Okinawa, this is what Tyler had to say.
"I cannot thank you guys enough for everything you have done and taught me in life. The lessons I have learned from my time at the Club will never be forgotten. You guys taught me how to play the sport and respect it at the same time. And I'm so happy that the Club is still running and going strong. I know you guys are doing great things for great kids that want to better themselves in this beautiful game, just as I wanted when I first joined the Club.
I never thought I would be where I am today, but it is because of you guys and the club that I am here. The Brazilian Soccer Club will always be family to me, and I will always love the club for what it is and [for] what it does for the community. I hope to see you in the Summer. Where I can share my story in person."
