YMCA Youth Soccer programs are deisgned to meet each player at their current level of play and provide opportunities to increase their individual skills. The goal is that these opportunities lead to an overall enjoyment of the game for years to come. Through participation in weekly practices and games, players learn sportsmanship, how to work as team and also build quality relationships with players and coaches in the program.
Youth soccer at the YMCA is recreational; there are no select leagues at this time. All players sign up individually and are placed on teams by YMCA volunteers and staff based on their current skill level and experience. The goal is to balance the teams with players of like skill levels and increase the friendly competition.
