About
Otto and his coaches have been training youth soccer players for 3 decades. Players from 5 years old through high school benefit from the insights of the experienced staff.
Boys and girls may participate and the Heart & Sole Futsal girtls program is ranked one of the best best in North America.
Soccer has given me a chance to express myself as an athlete, to participate in high level competitions and to experience the cultures of people from around the globe while playing the worlds most popular game.
I have been fortunate to play with some of the greatest players and learn from the best coaches ever to work in North America, to play in a FIFA Futsal World Cup (1996) and to coach in the FIFA Futsal World Cup (2021).
A dream of mine was fulfilled when I was asked to help coach the girls team from Trinidad & Tobago in the 2018 Youth Olympics held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Heart & Sole Futsal alumni have been voted the Gatorade best players in the state of Ohio, the best HS Player in the USA, they have gone on to play college and professional soccer and have won national championships. It has been a satifsying career of coaching successful players and productive young people over the past 30 years in NE Ohio.
