At Ohio Youth Academy, our mission is to nurture a lifelong love of soccer in youth by providing elite coaching, character development, and community support. We strive to create an inclusive environment where young athletes at every level—from first-time kickers to competitive players—are inspired to grow stronger, more confident, and more passionate about the game.
We envision a community where soccer helps shape tomorrow’s leaders—on and off the field. We aim to be the premier youth soccer organization in Ohio, known for excellence in training, sportsmanship, and positive impact.
Founded with a love for the game and a belief in the power of youth sports, OYA began as a small community program. Over time, as more families joined, we expanded our offerings to include recreational and competitive tracks, camps, leagues, and facility rentals. Today, we serve dozens of teams across age groups, and we continue to evolve so that every child gets the opportunity to grow.
OYA delivers a full development pathway for players at different stages.
