OUR WHY
Chicago City Soccer Club exists to create accessible, high-quality soccer opportunities that help young players across Chicago grow as athletes, teammates, and members of their community.
PRIDE OF CHICAGO
THE CITY WAY
Our team leads with kindness, compassion, and empathy, creating a holistic approach to the long-term development of our student-athletes both on and off the field. We do this through our CITY Care model, which prioritizes the well-being, growth, and support of every player and family in our community.
Why CITY?
Chicago City Soccer Club (CITY), founded in 2013, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving families across Chicagoland. As the first Illinois 5-Star Club based in the City of Chicago (2015) and a 2025 Illinois Premier Club, CITY has built a reputation for combining high-level soccer development with a strong community-first approach.
At CITY, families join more than a soccer club — they become part of a supportive and diverse community committed to developing confident, well-rounded young people through sport. Our programs provide a clear pathway from recreational soccer to local, regional, national, and international competition, allowing every player to grow at the level that fits them best.
We believe youth sports should balance development, enjoyment, and life skills, which is why our environment emphasizes player care, quality coaching, meaningful competition, and cultural experiences that help players grow both on and off the field.
Built on innovation, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to our families, CITY continues to create opportunities for players and coaches across the region.

CITY CARE MODEL
