Message from the President As President of the Columbus Express Soccer Club (CESC), I would like to welcome you to the official web site of the CESC. My goal as your president is for every player in our club to have a good soccer experience. This site serves our members and fans of soccer in Columbus and around the world. We encourage you to return to this website often for the latest information regarding our Club. Our Club is a non-profit organization founded in 1977 for the purpose of promoting soccer for youth in Columbus and surrounding areas. The Columbus Express Soccer Club is a competitive club registered with the Indiana Youth Soccer Association. Our philosophy and mission is to provide a soccer program "where soccer and the players can grow". Our focus is to build both the mental and physical skills of the game, preparing our youth to be leaders both on and off the field. The Columbus Express Soccer Club is organized and maintained by volunteers who dedicate a great deal of their time and effort to make the program successful. These are people like you, who are trying their best for the benefit of every child and the entire organization. Our success depends on parental involvement. Volunteers are needed for coaching, registration, field maintenance, and a variety of other activities. If interested in lending a hand, please take a moment to email us at volunteer@columbusexpress.com. Whatever your reason is for visiting our website, thank you for taking the time to visit. Return often for updated information, or visit our contact page if you have any questions or concerns. We wish all of you a safe, happy and fun soccer season. Best in soccer, Chip Orben President Columbus Express Soccer Club
