Our playing levels
We are known for player development, game management skills, and highly effective teaching methodology. Our specialty is taking beginning/average players and developing them into higher-level playing abilities with a 65%-85% improvement rate. We properly prepare players technically and tactically first then identify opportunities for success. All levels are taught by the same dynamic methodology, philosophy, and structure through the Soccer Made in America (SMIA) system. We offer seven playing levels for boys and girls ages 6-18. Our teams compete in the Northern Illinois Soccer League (NISL), Young Sportsmen's Soccer League (YSSL), and Illinois Women's Soccer League (IWSL).
