YMCA Soccer introduces children to the fundamentals of soccer through skill-building activities and friendly scrimmages in a supportive, non-competitive environment.
YMCA Soccer offers children an exciting introduction to one of the world’s most loved sports. Designed for youth in Grades 1 to 7, this indoor recreational league focuses on building confidence, teamwork and physical activity in a welcoming and supportive setting.
Each weekly session begins with skill development activities where participants practice core soccer fundamentals such as passing, dribbling and ball control. The second portion of the session allows players to apply what they have learned through friendly scrimmages that encourage teamwork, movement and fun.
By emphasizing participation and positive play rather than competition, the program helps children stay active, build friendships and develop a lifelong appreciation for sport and healthy living.
Each session begins with a short skill development segment where participants practice stick handling, passing and shooting. The remainder of the session focuses on gameplay where children can apply their skills in a fun, supportive environment. Children should wear comfortable indoor gym clothing. Soccer balls will be provided by coaches.
At the Y, there is always something happening! From aquafit and fitness classes to Child, Youth, and Family programs, and from youth team sports to seasonal favorites like summer day fun and birthday parties, we offer a diverse range of activities to keep you moving.
