Northwest FC
Hilliard
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.
