ORSS means Olympic reserve sports school. Lokomotiv Kuban PBC have established this team before the season 2018/19. Most of the time, the players who became not eligible for the VTB United Youth league (U21), but still needed for the main team, were playing there.
ORSS-Loko can hardly brag its results. But in 2024 inter-season, the good coach, Milos Pavicevic, was acquired. He made a good combination of Loko alumni with experienced players. As result, the team has won the Kupol Cup in Izhevsk.
