This summer, five Columbus Force SC U16–U19 boys earned the opportunity to take their development to the next level through USL Academy.
Through their hard work, leadership, commitment, and performances throughout the regular season, these players were identified for the opportunity to train in a highly competitive USL Academy environment in Cleveland.
For our players, this was more than just another training opportunity. It was a chance to challenge themselves, compete alongside new players, experience a different level of training, and represent Columbus Force SC beyond their club teams.
At Columbus Force, we believe development is about creating opportunities for players to continue pushing themselves and finding the next challenge. These experiences help our players build confidence, learn from new environments, and continue preparing for the opportunities ahead.
We are incredibly proud of these five players for earning this opportunity and representing Columbus Force SC at the next level.

As our 14/15G USL Youth team prepares for the USL Youth Finals, we’re taking a moment to spotlight Rayna, one of the members of the team and part of our Athlete of Excellence (AOE) program at Columbus Force SC. 🔵⚪️

Coach Evan Wherley says:
“Rayna has been an incredible asset to the USL-Youth group this year! Her versatility and ability to support the team in a variety of positions allows the group to be adaptable to any game situation.
Over the course of the summer she supported the team by playing in every position but in goal! This shows her dedication to her craft as well as a deep understanding of the game topped with a selflessness for the greater good.
We are excited to see her continue this supportive mindset into nationals.”
Now, she’ll take that mindset to the USL Youth Finals as she and her teammates represent Columbus Force SC on the national stage.

Lisa Saiben brings an exceptional coaching background to our U10–U12 Girls program. Before coaching with Classics Eagles and Columbus Force SC, Lisa led the Olentangy Liberty Girls Soccer program, where she was named the 2014 Conference Coach of the Year.
