The City Way

Our team leads with kindness, compassion, and empathy while creating a holistic approach to the long term development of our student athletes on and off the field.

Why CITY?

Chicago City Soccer Club (CITY) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to serving families and soccer enthusiasts across the Chicagoland area. As the first and only Illinois Youth Soccer Association (IYSA) 5-Star Club in the City of Chicago, CITY provides unparalleled opportunities for players and coaches at all levels.

Our programming offers a clear developmental pathway, starting with our recreational leagues—an ideal introduction to The CITY Way, where players build a strong foundation before progressing into local travel leagues. For those seeking a higher level of competition, CITY offers regional league platforms for U12+ and access to elite national competitions, opening doors for college recruitment and professional pathways.

As a club of many firsts, CITY continuously pioneers new and exciting opportunities for players, coaches, referees, and executives. Our unique programs extend beyond our members, welcoming players from suburban locations and other clubs.
