Our Story

Toledo Celtics has been a part of the Toledo community for the past 33 years and is truly the definition of a resilient Toledo entity who fully believes in that “You Will do Better in Toledo”. We take great pride in the city of Toledo and have worked tirelessly to give our time to enhancing the game of soccer for the youth in the greater Toledo area.  The Toledo Celtics fully believes in promoting the positive aspects of what the city of Toledo has to offer and have endless belief in the abilities that our Toledo area youth possess. 

The Toledo Celtics Soccer Club was founded with great vision and influential perspective by Dr. James King and Lee Aliakbar in 1987.   As the club started out and began to establish a foothold within the Toledo and Northwest Ohio soccer community, the teams were primarily focused on the older, high school aged age groups to grow the game in these age groups.  But as both Dr. King and Lee soon realized, there was so much more that they could offer to the Northwest Ohio soccer community and decided to expand the club to incorporate a full lineup of teams from all age groups. 

 The Toledo Celtics have helped to foster and develop players and teams that have achieved numerous awards and recognitions, from top 5 national rankings to individual accolades including All-American, All-Region, All-State, All-District and All-Conference teams, and have helped hundreds of aspiring youth soccer players to reach their goals in the collegiate and professional arenas.

Player Development Comes First

Toledo Celtics believe that when early development, technical training, and physical fitness are nurtured in a competitive environment that this presents opportunities for the youth player to grow and at the same time emphasizes performance over the result or winning.
