Ohio Elite has always been at the forefront of player development. That has been our vision since the inception of the club. To develop players first and team success will follow. We were fortunate last season to have numerous All-Americans and even players who continue to achieve beyond that: Congrats to Arin Gilliland for her call in to the U20 US Women's National Team Camp Feb.13. Arin is a member of the Ohio Elite U18 team. We also have a list on the front page of the web site listing the many OESA players that will be continuing to play the game in college. Our YDA players are at the beginning of a long journey in learning the game but we feel have the best foundation for each player to attain their own level of success. We also give players exposure to the game at the highest levels for club players. Our Club Directors, Doug Bracken (Girls) and Tim Lesiak (Executive), were instrumental in the vision, creation and development of the Elite Club National League, which Doug serves as Vice President.

This is a long process that we are a part of, but as most parents will attest to, our players have the best base for their success.
