The Oakville U1990A Boys team, aka Oakville Blue Stars, was formed by Phil Iafrati in 1999, within the Oakville Soccer Club of Oakville, Ontario. The Oakville Blue Stars have won: one National Club Championship U14; three Ontario Cups U14, U15, U21; seven League Champions; five League Cups; and two Dunleavy Cups (between SRSL and CSL in the 3 years prior to Ontario Cup). One year before assembling the Oakville Blue Stars, Phil Iafrati in 1998 with his Oakville Blue Devils won the U19 Canadian Club Soccer Championships.

The Oakville Soccer Club has become one of the largest community soccer organizations with more than 10,000 recreational and competitive players playing in summer outdoor and fall/winter indoor leagues. It was created in 1972 as an amalgamation of Bronte Legion Soccer Club, Oakville United Soccer Club and Oakville Minor Soccer. The Oakville Soccer Club is a member of the Ontario Soccer Association.

The club's tradition of excellence as shown by its 9 National Championships, over 50 Ontario Cups and a large number of players selected to represent Canada at the international level.^[1]
