Youth Soccer

The Wood Dale Park District belongs to the Mid-Suburban Soccer League comprised of Wood Dale, Glendale Heights, Medinah, Addison, Itasca, Roselle, and Bensenville Park Districts. This league promotes the atmosphere of fun, teamwork, and good sportsmanship while learning and improving on basic skills. Teams will practice 2 to 3 hours per week and play seven series games. Games will be held on Saturdays in Wood Dale or at the away Park Districts’ fields. It is the responsibility of the parent to transport their child to each practice and game.

Fall soccer will be playing with a new format in accordance with the US Youth Soccer organization. Smaller fields and teams will allow for players to achieve the following: to touch the soccer ball more often which will enhance their individual technical and tactical development, receive more individual teaching time with their coach, receive more involved playing time in games, and most importantly to have more opportunities to score goals.

Special Requests are NOT guaranteed!
Coaches: The Wood Dale Park District is looking for both Head and Assistant coaches for the upcoming Fall Season. With the assistance of volunteer coaches the Park District can run a fun, safe, and quality program. Coaching is rewarding, yet also provides the opportunity to spend time with the players. If you are interested, please contact 630-595-9333.

Equipment: All players are required to have shin guards at both practices and for games. Children are encouraged to bring their own ball to practice. Ball Sizes include: U6 – size 3, U8 & U10 – size 4, and U12 & U14 – size 5 ball.

The uniforms are purchased separately from registration fees, and all new players are required to purchase a jersey. Please pay for the uniform at time of registration and you
will receive it from your coach when printed and ready.
