Youth Soccer

Winter/Spring 2021 Soccer Update:

Soccer Parents,
Under new Illinois Sports Guidelines the River Trails Park District will not be able to hold a traditional Fall Soccer League. In its place we will be offering a modified soccer league that fits the structure of the states guidelines for 1st-8th grade and instructional classes for 4yr-kindergarten.

• For 1st-8th graders, we will still form teams, have weekly practices and play games with a modified field and rules to ensure players can maintain 6ft of distance.
• This game will stress skill development, team work, focus on passing and ball movement.
• The field will be marked with alternate sections for each team member with a 6ft “no play” boundary in between each section to prevent any contact or close play.
• With a 5v5 (plus goalie) setup, we feel this will turn out to be a fast paced game play.
• Parent coach volunteers are still needed.

We understand this might not be a normal soccer season but are excited about the concept that we have created. We feel this option gives kids an opportunity to play in fall sports and ensure everyone’s safety.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
