This scenario is all too common in youth sports, but it doesn't have to be this way …

We are so excited to welcome Matt Roby to our team 🤩 Coach Matt joins our academy as the new Executive Director and will oversee soccer and business operations. In addition to a lifetime of playing soccer, he has spent the last decade coaching, most recently for 7 years as an assistant coach for the Grandview Heights High School boys’ team. The bobcats won back-to-back state titles in 2021 & 2022, reached four state semifinals, and won 6 district titles in his time there.
His favorite part about coaching children is watching them progress throughout the session & fall in love with the game of soccer, and seeing their true personalities come out while playing.
Outside of soccer, you can find Matt exploring Columbus with his wife Sarah & children Palmer(4) and Weston (2). They love visiting parks, farmers markets and finding new outdoor activities. He is an avid runner and has run 4 marathons and 2 ultra-marathons in the past 3 years.

When it comes to choosing a soccer program for your child, it's easy to get caught up in the hype of impressive resumes, flashy facilities, and promises of elite training. But amidst all the buzzwords, there's one crucial factor that often gets overlooked: the coach's personality and approach to working with children.
When it comes to youth soccer, a coach’s ability to connect with kids is more important than their technical expertise. Learn how choosing a coach who prioritizes child development can help foster a lifelong love for soccer.

Unlike many youth soccer clubs, Locker Soccer Academy doesn’t hold traditional tryouts for our younger age groups. Instead, we believe in a more holistic approach that focuses on observing each child’s skills and potential within the context of our programs and classes.
Discover Locker Soccer Academy's fair and transparent evaluation process for placing young athletes on the right team. No tryouts, just observation, focusing on skills, tactical understanding, and communication with parents.

In the world of youth soccer, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype of flashy gear, high-priced private lessons, and promises of accelerated development. But does all this investment truly guarantee that your child will become a soccer star?
Expensive gear and private lessons aren't the key to soccer success. At Locker Soccer Academy, we focus on fun, play, and development to help children become better players.

Learn More
Locker Soccer Academy is a one-of-a-kind soccer program developed to provide a dynamic environment where children can develop soccer skills, social skills, coordination, confidence and self-esteem built on a solid foundation of fun.
Developing a Passion
With increasing competitive pressures starting at younger ages and society’s insatiable appetite for wins, standings and trophies in youth sports, our children are relentlessly pushed to perform. It’s no wonder that 75% of children quit all organized sports by age 13. Locker Soccer Academy helps children develop a passion for the game.
What Makes Us Different!
The programs you’ll find at Locker Soccer span a broad range of ages and abilities. Many of the children that are in our program have been with us since age two.
Session after session, year after year, parents watch with amazement as their children not only evolve their abilities on the soccer field, but watch them grow in confidence both socially and athletically.
We attribute this growth to having a very experienced staff and an approach to learning that starts with making sure kids have fun as they continue to succeed. In the end, continued participation is key, be it in soccer or anything else in life. If your child is enjoying it, they will continue to play.
