Spring Registration Opening January 5th, 2026

At the YMCA, our youth soccer league is all about development and fun. Whether your child is starting at age 4 or jumping in at age 12, our coaches meet them at their skill level, help build confidence, and make sure they enjoy the game. Soccer is an ideal first sport because it’s simple to learn, doesn’t require much equipment, and helps kids stay active while learning teamwork, coordination, and sportsmanship.

Our leagues are centered around teamwork, fair play, and fun—every child gets a chance to play. Volunteer coaches are essential to making this possible. We provide training to help you support skill-building and character development.
