Our Mission
Our aim is to create a better playing environment with consistent interactions with players and parents. Our coaches lead with a positive and supportive mindset. We believe that when commitment and hard work are supported by positive coaching, it leads to an overall development of an individual at a young age instilling qualities like respect and humility.
This will allow players to be the protagonist of their own journey through personal expression and experiential learning.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE:
Which league do the teams play in? Our teams compete against other youth soccer clubs such FC United, Wilmette Wings, FC-1, Chicago Fire Jr etc. in YSSL (Boys) and IWSL (Girls).
- PLAYING SEASONS: Fall, winter (indoor league play) and spring.
- AGE CUTOFFS: The age cut off is based on the US Soccer mandated year of birth system. Younger players can play in older age groups.
- PRACTICES: Each team has 2/3 practices per week in the fall and spring. (1 or 2 practices per week during the winter season)
- HOME FIELDS: In Winnetka, Glenview, Glencoe, Northfield, Kenilworth, Northbrook.
- COACHING STAFF: Our professional coaches are USSF (United States Soccer Federation) licensed.
- LEVEL OF COMMITMENT: Players are expected to attend all practices and games. In case of unavoidable absence parents/players need to inform the coach as far in advance as possible. Player’s attitude towards the team/teammates and their level of commitment shown during practices and games will impact their playing time.
