Open to boys and girls, 4 years through 8th grade.
Participants will learn how to play soccer while working on individual skills, such as passing,
shooting, offense and defense. Our coaches are trained volunteer adults.
Youth Soccer teams will be gender specific and age appropriate if enough boys and girls
register for each age group. Age groups with low levels of registration may be
combined into a co-ed team or mixed with another age group to fill the team roster.
All participants will receive a phone call from their coach prior to the first practice.
If you do not receive a call, please understand that we are recruiting volunteer coaches.
If you have not received a call by 8/25 or if you have any questions about the program,
please call Josh Cantres at 847-391-5711.
Participants will be evaluated and
placed on teams by the soccer
coordinators, so that teams can be
properly balanced. No placement
requests will be accepted.
Please do not arrive before your
scheduled time.
