Youth Soccer
Spring 2025 – Edwardsville YMCA Youth Soccer!!!
NEW for Spring 2025: Youth Soccer at the Edwardsville YMCA is moving to the warmer months! Soccer will now follow Volleyball, which will take place during the colder months.
PeeWee Soccer (Age 3)
This fun, introductory division is perfect for our youngest players! These kiddos will learn the basics of soccer through engaging activities and games in a supportive environment. PeeWee Soccer focuses on skill-building and small-sided games led by our Recreational Sports Staff on Wednesday evenings at the Meyer Center. Please note that this division does not include formal practices or scheduled games.
Youth League Divisions (Rookies, K-8th Grade)
Our youth soccer leagues feature Friday evening practices and Saturday morning games, all held at Plummer Family Park, conveniently located near the Meyer Center. This program emphasizes individual skill development, soccer tactics, team strategies, and the “games approach” to learning soccer in a fun, team-oriented environment.
The Edwardsville YMCA depends on parents and volunteers to make our sports leagues possible. Please consider coaching your child’s team!
Registration closes March 23rd—no late registrations will be accepted, so don’t miss out on the fun!
If you have any questions, please contact Nick, our Director of Sports & Recreation, at [email protected] or call 618-655-1460 ext. 2231.
