Hilliard

Existing directory updated: 2026-08-14Confidence: lowHow ratings work

Northwest FC was established in 2013 in Hilliard "to offer every level of soccer competition for all players," and holds memberships with US Club Soccer, the Ohio Soccer Association, and the Columbus Crew Network. It runs a recreational league (Fall season beginning each September), plus pre-academy, academy, and travel tiers, along with winter training, speed, agility, and strength programming. Director of Coaching Hamid Shariff leads the staff; individual coaching licenses beyond that aren't published. The ratings on this profile describe the recreational tier, which most players are likely in given the club's stated "all ages and skill levels" framing; the academy/travel tiers are described here but not separately rated.

FOCUSED FIRST-PARTY SOURCE REVIEW

Current research for parents

Northwest FC publishes a recreational route for kindergarten through third grade, with parent/volunteer coaches and Sunday games. The program page gives registration prices but does not identify a season year.

These specific pages were read 2026-10-24. This is a source-access date, not club certification or a guarantee that every detail remains current. Older directory information below may use a different review date.

Recreational league

Ages and entry: Kindergarten through third grade; girls and boys teams. Confirm eligibility rather than converting school grade into a U age group.
Published fees: New players $100 including game shirt and socks; returning players $85 reusing shirt and socks. Confirm current registration total and any equipment costs.
Fee period: Published registration fees; season year not stated
Locations: Hilliard-area organization; actual age-group field is not identified on this program page. Ask before registering.
Schedule and commitment: One game per week, all games Sunday; practice 1–2 days per week. Fall September–October; spring late March–May.
Travel: No complete away-game itinerary is provided. Confirm the game field and transport requirement.
Joining / tryouts: Program provides a registration link. Confirm current spaces and registration dates; a live link is not proof registration remains open.

The academy/travel tiers aren't detailed enough (league affiliation, cost, travel) to rate separately here.
