What is Team Ohio FC Juniors?

Team Ohio FC Juniors is designed as a fun introduction to soccer for boys and girls ages 4-9. The CORRECT techniques of passing, dribbling, shooting, heading, receiving, tackling, and goalkeeping will be taught. All sessions will also include playing small-sided games with instruction on some basic habits of the game. Many players who started in this program format now play on elite teams in the Team Ohio FC club. This program is designed as a supplement to regular team soccer, not as a replacement. We feel that teaching young players correct technique FROM THE START helps them find it more easy to progress to more advanced skills as they get older.

Staffing
The Team Ohio FC Juniors program will be under the supervision of Gerry D’Arcy, Youth Director of Coaching for Team Ohio FC. Gerry is a USSF A licensed coach and is also head soccer coach for men at Otterbein College. Gerry will be assisted by other coaches and players. All understand the appropriate approach to take with young players to improve their confidence and their abilities. We are here at the “turn on” phase and we want to make sure that the players stay “turned on” to the “great game” of soccer.
