Welcome to the Ohio Soccer Moms and Dads June 2025 Newsletter!
Hi Soccer Families,
Summer is in full swing, and so is soccer! Here's what's new and exciting across the OSMD network this month:
📣 Community Highlights
We're excited to see the community buzzing around supplemental tryouts and new training opportunities. We've been working hard to connect players with teams still looking to finalize their rosters—it's not too late to join a team!
This summer, my kids have been staying active with affordable, unstructured soccer fun. From drop-in nights at Flying Fives to pick-up futsal with Greater Ohio Athletic Training, they've been having a blast. My oldest is prepping for the ECNL Finals with his club, while we also continue training with Beast Mode Training and Douglas Performance Training. Check out our Summer Training and Camp Guide for more options to keep your players engaged!
