YSIFC TEAMS
- Thank you for your interest in Youth Soccer International. Unlike many other youth soccer clubs, we do not hold tryouts to form our team rosters.
- Most of our team players begin in our recreational programs. After a season in one of our developmental programs, coaches may recommend that your child join team practices for evaluation. Please note that practicing with a team does not guarantee a spot on the roster. It simply allows our coaches to assess whether your child is ready for a more challenging environment.
- Team positions are by invitation only, and can be revoked if a child does not meet expectations.

SEASON 2025-26 programs
BORN 2019
Players born in 2019 can begin their soccer journey with us as soon as they turn 5 years old. These young athletes can sign up for one session per week. We offer classes at both Alcott Elementary and Hawthorne Scholastic Academy, and players can choose to attend as many days of the week as they'd like.
Our classes are thoughtfully designed to introduce players to the beautiful game in a fun and engaging environment. Each one-hour session is divided into two halves. The first 30 minutes focus on enjoyable skill-building activities. The last 30 minutes involve small-group scrimmages or duels, allowing players to experience game-like situations and learn basic rules.
