Pickerington Area Soccer Association (PASA) is celebrating 52 years of soccer in 2025!
Founded in 1973, it is one of the original recreational leagues in the greater Columbus area. PASA welcomes players from Pickerington and all surrounding areas.
We decided to have a chat with them to find out more about where the league is headed!
So, tell us about the league.
PASA is a non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to providing the game to Pickerington area children! Our community loves the game. Last season, we helped over 900 children play soccer!
We take great pride in our facility. A new parking lot addition was completed in the Fall 2024, which has been a huge help during gamedays. We proudly own our fields and work hard to ensure they are fit for each season. Our funding is limited to league fees, donations, and sponsorships. PASA sponsors play a big role in our soccer community.
PASA works hard to stay engaged in our community. We enjoy participating in local parades and other community events – and our athletes love it too!

PASA offers recreational programs from Timbits (2.5 yrs) through Adult League (18+ yrs). All youth games (U4 thru U12) are played on the weekends. Middle School and High School games are played throughout the week and on weekends. Adult League games are played during the week.

What values does your organization have?
PASA is a family-oriented and community-based organization. All players are welcome regardless of their skill level. We strive to instill a love of the game for all participants. Sportsmanship and teamwork are a main focus in our organization. We also have amazing volunteers! Our volunteers are ordinary people that step up and do extraordinary things for the youth in our community.
Why is PASA a member of OSA?
OSA provides a wonderful support system for PASA. The OSA staff are always available for any questions or needed assistance. OSA is a great resource.
