"Our son joined the Grasshoppers in 2022 after playing rec soccer. As uneducated soccer parents, we did not know what to expect. We were blown away by the skill development and ability to identify each player’s strengths and opportunities in an effort to make them well rounded. This is no cookie-cutter approach…each player is both valued for their individual contribution as well as what they bring to the total team. 

Winning was a bonus, only followed by learning, working hard and having fun! The players and their parents have become like a second family to us. The culture built with these Grasshopper teams is truly unmatched and the dedication of our coach-you won’t find it elsewhere! Jamie looks for every opportunity to provide the boys with competition that will challenge them to be their best!"

"As a family, we have had the privilege of being part of this soccer program for multiple years (both boys & girls). These are an amazing group of coaches that show up with knowledge and passion. They care about the development of each player. Not only are the players physically and technically challenged, but they are also pushed through the mental game. They are taught to fight and not give up, despite the score. Whether a player continues with the game or moves on, I know that these coaches’ influence will have a lasting positive effect on our children to do well in life."

"As a parent, I am very pleased with our experience with Grasshoppers FC. Our boys’ soccer skills have improved significantly, along with their knowledge and love for the game. The dedicated and supportive coaches have created a positive team dynamic setting them up for success. I would recommend this club to any family looking for a nurturing environment balanced with a high level of play."

"Coach Ryan and the Grasshoppers organization have had a tremendous impact on our son—not just in developing his skills on the field, but in deepening his love for the game. Coach Ryan blends high-level instruction with a positive, structured environment that motivates our son to improve both as a player and a teammate. We’re incredibly grateful for the dedication and quality of this program."

"Our son Titus joined the 2014 Grasshoppers at U8… Matt and Jamie made him feel valued—not just as a player, but as a young man. The training environment was competitive, fun, and focused on skill and character.

When it came time for our 2017 twins, the choice was easy… Under Ryan Miller’s leadership, they’ve grown tremendously. Ryan brings energy, care, and a training intensity that challenges the boys to grow quickly and confidently.

The coaches’ dedication to youth and growing the game in Columbus is unmatched… The Grasshoppers have provided a first-class experience for our family. We’re grateful and excited for the launch of Grasshoppers FC. Let’s go Hoppers!"
