What ages and program levels does Spiders FC offer?Spiders FC runs competitive and recreational soccer with a strong instructional focus for players roughly from under-seven through under-fourteen, and older teams have been part of the club as well. At tryouts, families identify players as beginner, mid-level, or competitive so staff can match each child to the right environment, from entry-level recreation to higher-competition groups and travel or tournament play when appropriate.

About
Spiders FC is a youth soccer academy serving families in Oswego, North Aurora, and the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. It pairs a competitive club experience with approachable entry points for beginners, offering recreational and competitive tracks plus travel and tournament soccer for players who want more games beyond a purely local schedule.
What the club offers
Programming blends competitive and recreational soccer. The club emphasizes teaching fundamentals for children roughly from under-seven through under-fourteen in both recreational and competitive settings, while older age groups also appear in club life (for example, past under-fifteen teams). Every team is expected to follow the same training ideas and style so players grow on a consistent model rather than restarting each time they change teams.
Where teams train and play
Club operations center on North Aurora at 340 Smoke Tree Plaza Drive, Illinois 60542, and 340 SmokeTree Lane, North Aurora, Illinois 60542, together with the SPD Soccer Academy and SPD soccer facility. Prairie Pointe Community Park is another training site. Weeknight evening blocks run Monday through Thursday, generally between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., with exact band and field assignments depending on the team or program. Winter and summer training are organized as separate seasonal blocks rather than one identical year-round slate for every squad.
Tryouts, placement, and registration
The club invites families to free tryouts so staff can place each child in the right competitive level, from true beginners through mid-level and competitive players. Families request a free club tryout through an online form, sharing the player’s birth year, current club (if any), and self-reported skill level among beginner, mid-level, or competitive. Spiders FC Training enrollment carries a stated monthly rate for families choosing that training product.
Monthly training tuition
Spiders FC Training costs about one hundred thirty-five dollars per month for the training cycle the club bundles with that enrollment option, matching the year label Spiders FC uses for that training product. Other team costs—uniforms, travel, or tournament fees—are handled through the club’s coordinators; parents with billing or kit questions work directly with those staff contacts rather than relying on one public fee table for every expense.
Mission, coaching, and community
The mission is to make soccer accessible across the community by building a shared love of the game. The club stresses fun first and adjusts the competitive dial to fit the age group, believing that enjoyment and appropriate challenge keep players engaged. Leadership includes an owner and head coach with professional playing roots in Colombia, plus dedicated lead coaches for the youth division, technical skills, and conditioning and goalkeeping. Support staff help with payments, uniforms, and day-to-day parent questions. Visiting clinicians and camps—such as sessions with former professional Reinaldo Navia—have been part of the club’s special events in past seasons.
