What ages do you train?
We work with players from age 2 through 18 across all programs. Tiny Toes starts at 2–5, Rec+ runs U6 & U7, Futures covers U5–U7, and our flagship Weekly Academy Training is for ages 6–18. Saints International Academy (SIA) is for invitation-only elite players ages 10–18.
Is there a free trial or assessment?
Yes — we offer a Free Tech Assessment for new families, a $150 value with no obligation. It’s the best way to see whether SFA is a fit before signing up. We use the assessment to recommend the right program based on your player’s age, level, and goals.
What’s the difference between Weekly Academy Training and SIA?
Weekly Academy Training (WAT) is our open-enrollment flagship program for any player ages 6–18 who wants consistent, structured training. Families choose 1–4 sessions per week and players progress through 4-week training cycles.
Saints International Academy (SIA) is invitation-only, 12-month, elite-level — built around small-roster, player-first development in partnership with Southampton FC. SIA players train up to 4 nights per week with tournament-only play (no league games). Admission is selective.
How fast do you respond to inquiries?
Reply times depend on how you reach out: phone calls are returned within 24–48 hours, and email or contact form messages are answered within 1–2 business days. For the fastest response, give us a call during office hours.
What is SoccerBot360?
SoccerBot360 is SFA’s exclusive, state-of-the-art training technology — the only one of its kind in Columbus. It’s a 360° reactive training system that measures reaction time, passing accuracy, and ball processing with real-time data. Players use it as part of our Tech-Fusion Training, alongside the Speed Court for agility and movement work.
Do you offer sibling discounts?
Yes — Rec+ Indoor League includes an automatic $25 sibling discount for each additional sibling registered in the same season. Other programs are evaluated case-by-case — reach out and we’ll work with you.
Where do I park?
Free on-site parking is available directly in front of the building at 2901 E. 4th Ave. Enter from Cassady Ave; we’re in Suite D. Spots are easy to find — arrive 5–10 minutes early for evening peak hours.
Can my child try a session before enrolling?
The Free Tech Assessment is the best way in — it’s a structured, 1-on-1 session with one of our coaches where your player gets evaluated and you get a personalized recommendation. For most families it’s a better starting point than a generic trial, because it ends with a clear plan rather than just “did they enjoy it?”
What’s your indoor facility like?
We train year-round in our 40,000 sq ft indoor facility in Columbus — no weather cancellations, consistent surface, and full access to SoccerBot360 and the Speed Court. The facility was built specifically for player development, not converted from another sport.
