Schaumburg Athletic Association Recreational Soccer

What ages and program levels does Schaumburg Athletic Association recreational soccer offer?Outdoor recreational leagues cover Pre-K(ickers) through seventh and eighth grade, with coed play for Pre-K, kindergarten, and seventh/eighth grade and single-gender divisions for the younger grade bands in between. Winter indoor soccer is a separate January–March season at Schaumburg Sports Center. TOPSoccer serves players ages five and older with physical or intellectual disabilities, with adapted practices and volunteer buddies.

Where does Schaumburg Athletic Association recreational soccer train and play?Most outdoor games are on Sundays at Atcher Park behind Jane Addams School, 730 Springinsguth Road in Schaumburg. Indoor games run at the Schaumburg Sports Center. TOPSoccer practices are held Saturday or Sunday afternoons at the Atcher Park soccer fields when weather allows, with some indoor sessions in winter. The SAA office is at 217 S. Civic Drive, Schaumburg, Illinois 60193.

When do fall and spring outdoor seasons run?Fall practices typically start in mid-August; games begin the first weekend after Labor Day and outdoor play ends the last weekend of October. Spring practices usually start in late March; games begin the first weekend in April and the season finishes in early to mid-June with a closing tournament. Exact practice start dates, holiday blackouts, and tournament weekends can shift each year, so families should confirm the current calendar in the active GotSport registration event.

What does recreational soccer registration cost?Outdoor recreational registration has been $145 per player, including jersey, shorts, and socks. A $5 late fee has applied after March 1 for spring registration in recent announcements. Each outdoor season also uses a separate $25 per-player snack fee. Indoor winter soccer is billed as its own season with separate registration and fees; confirm the current indoor rate when that season opens.

What is the club’s philosophy for recreational players?The program is built around volunteer coaching, community participation, and small-sided games so young players get more touches, clearer roles on the field, and repeated chances to practice attacking, defending, and decision-making in age-right spaces.
