Who I am

Oliver "Sovs"

Hi, I’m Oliver Sovenyhazy, a 15-year-old soccer enthusiast with a deep love for the game. I live and breathe soccer, and it’s not just something I play—it’s who I am. I’m proud to play for the Charleston Soccer Club and also volunteer for the Charleston Battery professional soccer team, where I get to learn from some of the best in the game.
My mission with Olly on the Ball is to share my passion and knowledge with young players, helping them grow their skills and build a lifelong love for soccer. I’m here to show kids that soccer isn’t just about the game—it’s about having fun, working hard, and learning important life lessons along the way.
