Youth Soccer

Youth Soccer

The Y helped bring youth soccer to Springfield in 1967 and we’ve introduced thousands of kids to this exciting sport since. Everyone plays and the games are safe, exciting, and fun. We encourage fair play, positive competition, teamwork, and family involvement.

Outdoor Soccer

Outdoor soccer league games and practices are held at the YMCA Friendly Fields Soccer Complex. Players will learn soccer techniques, rules, and skills applicable to their age and ability. The league is open to kids ages 3-12. Spring season runs from April – May, a Summer session in June and July, and Fall season Sept – October.

Indoor Soccer

Indoor soccer leagues are held at Soccer World in the fall and winter months. Like our outdoor league, the activity builds on skill development and keeps kids active during the off-season all while having fun. The league is open to kids ages 3-12 and runs 2 sessions from November – February.

Soccer Summer Camp

YMCA soccer camp focuses on skill development including passing, shooting & dribbling with contests, competitions, and fun.

Weather Policy: 

  • All weather updates and cancellations will be sent through Playerspace.  
  • Games will only be cancelled “by the hour”  
  • Example: If your game is at 8am, you will be notified by 7am. 
  • Note: If the 8am game gets cancelled, that does NOT mean the 9am, 10am or 11am game will.  
  • Should inclement weather (thunder or lightning) arise while games are in play, referees will stop the game, and instruct all players to clear the field.  
  • From the time the lighting or thunder occurred, a 30-minute wait period will start. If no thunder or lightning occurs during the 30-minute wait period, the game may continue from the time it was stopped. If there is another occurrence, the game will be cancelled, and there will be no make-up.
