Youth Soccer Leagues — Greater Joliet Area YMCA

Programs with a Purpose

Our Youth Sports programs maximize the positive effects of athletics by emphasizing healthy competition and promoting teamwork. The Y focuses on the life lessons that can be learned from sports, and our coaches strive to instill a positive self-image in each player.

Spring soccer is sure to be a blast for your young player. Your child will learn the fundamentals of soccer during practices and games, while having a great time. In this program everyone plays and everyone has fun!
