Locker Soccer Academy is a Child Development company using soccer as a way to engage children in their physical and social development. Primarily focused on pre-school age children, Steve Locker incorporated the input of several Child Development professors to assemble a curriculum that is unequalled in the youth sports industry. In addition to working with children ages 2 - 6, Locker Soccer also offers skill development for children through the age of 14.In 2011, Locker Soccer launched Locker Elite, which offers teams for boys and girls in the U8+ age groups.Since its inception in 2004, Locker Soccer Academy has had two (2) Academies in Central Ohio (Powell & Gahanna). In 2022, we consolidated our Academies into one larger facility located adjacent to our original Academy. We now have 2 indoor fields, a mezzanine with a liquor license, and 3 large screen TVs. Our soccer \"boutique\" is one of the nicest indoor facilities that you will ever see.Steve Locker draws very heavily from his many years of soccer experience to ensure an ever-evolving and engaging curriculum for the young children in his program.Steve played soccer for Penn State University, for Hannover 96 in Germany, and was the very first American to earn a professional coaching diploma from Germany. During his 19 years of collegiate coaching, Steve\'s teams were quite successful, winning many league titles along the way. His 1996 Harvard squad held the record for consecutive wins in Division I that year. Steve was on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America\'s coaching staff, spending nearly ten years teaching coaches. He has studied extensively with top clubs in Europe, including a significant amount of time with AC Milan.
