LOSING IS TOUGH.
The game of football is won or lost at the line of scrimmage. A weak offensive or defensive line invites defeat before the team even suits up.
VICTORY CAN BE YOURS.
With specialized off-season football training for the offensive and defensive line, you’ll build the strength and develop the skills you need to dominate the field next season.
Every other football position has specialized training in the off-season. We believe the big boys up front deserve additional training, too.

SKILLED TRAINING
The offensive and defensive line are the most important positions on a football team. Even though skill positions like quarterbacks or wide receivers get most of the glory, a strong line is where the success of any football team begins.
​
Every position in football has plenty of access to private football coaches during the offseason. Every one except the line, that is. The OH Line Academy exists because we saw training opportunities for every position except for linemen. As the game of football continues to develop, players are bigger, faster, and stronger, and the demand for better linemen is crucial to a team's success, yet in the competitive atmosphere of Columbus, OH, there have been no options for young linemen to develop in the off-season.
HOW WE TRAIN
The days of the slow, overweight, unathletic linemen are gone - today's linemen are explosive, powerful, and agile and incorporates a wide skillset of technique, footwork, aggression, and athleticism to compete on the line of scrimmage.
Good linemen are skilled athletes that require precise and detailed training. Unlike other positions on the field that can get away with raw talent, no one is born knowing how to take a correct pass set - it is a perishable, skill that needs to be trained incessantly.
​
In fact, linemen are often the most difficult position and demands detailed technique.
