★★★★★Arif OmarI liked the coaching staff, the style and how they coached. It was an amazing experience my son loved it. I tried to contact coach jason after we were done to explore more opportunities for my other children but haven’t got a response yet it’s been a week, didn’t like that. But overall we had a good time. Thanks
★★★★★Hassan AkinkuolieThe coaching at OPA is top notch ! Each training session is filled with specific drills to help players grow in confidence in a number of areas. Sessions focus on specific areas such as better decision making, body positioning when receiving the ball, working with the ball in tight spaces, using one’s weaker foot, first touch improvements, and ball-striking to name a few. Jason Griffiths is definitely one of the top coaches in the Central Ohio area and your child would learn a lot and be in good hands with his coaching.
★★★★★Nathan ClarkI have had two sons train through the Ohio Players Academy. The coaches have done a wonderful job of creating a fun and competitive atmosphere, and both boys made great strides in their development as part of the program.
★★★★★Tim HarveyMy son really enjoyed training with OPA. The quality level of coaching is high and the facility at Otterbein was very convenient. We tend not to do week long camps over the summer and prefer this format where it was twice a week over 8 weeks.
★★★★★Andy NollJason and his team of coaches are best in class. If you are looking for top level soccer training look no further than Ohio Players Academy. We are lucky to have this European level of soccer training here in Central Ohio!
