Sockers FC Chicago

What ages and program levels does Sockers FC Chicago offer?Sockers Juniors focuses on boys and girls from about four through eight years old, including many players still in the under-nine bracket. Older competitive tryouts cover girls from under-seven through under-nineteen and boys from under-seven through under-sixteen, with additional programming layers such as goalkeeping, camps, high-school alternatives, showcase soccer, and age-zone training on the broader pathway.

Where does the club train or play?Olympic Park in Schaumburg, Soccer City in Palatine, Bridgeview turf fields, and the Elgin Sports Complex anchor most training, and Juniors spring blocks have used Soccer City Field 1 in Palatine. Exact assignments still depend on the team or program, so families should confirm the facility for their group.

When are tryouts or registration?Competitive tryouts for the twenty-six and twenty-seven soccer-year cycle are open through PlayMetrics programs split by girls under-seven through under-nineteen and boys under-seven through under-sixteen. Sockers Juniors registration runs through the My Sockers portal, and coordinators help schedule free trials before families commit.

What does Sockers Juniors cost?One Juniors spring option used a $150 fee for a four-session Wednesday block at Soccer City Field 1 for players born from 2017 through 2021. Coordinators share the current fee, schedule, and birth-year eligibility for the next season.

What is the club’s mission, philosophy, or coaching approach?The mission centers on inclusive, well-organized instruction across Chicagoland and the greater Midwest for every performance level. Core values include unity, presence, discipline, versatility, commitment, and a winning mentality balanced with respect and individual growth inside a team structure. Juniors coaches are United States Soccer Federation licensed and follow grassroots player-development practices with activity-centered sessions.
