History

1920s–1930s: The first years in Roman Catholic and regional leagues

The club was founded on 1 June 1920 with the name Oss self-styled in caps, as a backronym standing for "exercise strengthens muscles". It joined the 3rd league of the Roman Catholic Federation, gradually progression to the first league.

With the support of the younger generation, the club switched on 19 September 1927 to the Brabant Football Association (BVB). The older generation objected and priest Marcus, who had been with the club since start, resign as from his function of "spiritual adviser". In 1928 an athletics department was set up.

The discussion within the club about the transition to religion-neutral Brabant League continued and in 1933 the club returned to the RKF.

In 1940, under German occupation, all football associations were fused to one.
