Ohio Youth Academy

Final Third Foundation partners with Ohio Youth Academy to expand access to the game through scholarships, subsidized costs, and support for F3 Recreational Soccer.

A Partnership Centered on Access

Since 2021, F3 and OYA have worked together to reduce financial barriers and create more affordable opportunities for players and families across the community.

Why This Partnership Matters

Through donor support, subsidized park rates, scholarships, and reduced participation costs, Final Third Foundation helps strengthen Ohio Youth Academy and its ability to serve youth through soccer.

This partnership is about more than access to play. It is about creating opportunity, building belonging, and supporting a club that continues to make a meaningful impact in its community.

Together, F3 and OYA are growing opportunities for youth and families through a shared commitment to access, development, and community.
