City In the community (recreational play)
Our mission within the recreational space is to create and develop a unique player and coach pathway for our communities. In partnership with local park districts, CITY provides coach education & support for parent coaches, along with curriculum and on the field support throughout the program. Our goal is to help introduce more families to the sport while providing a positive, challenging, and fun experience to help them on their soccer journey.
CITY launched its Mini City program in 2022 with amazing success with over 400 players registered throughout all three seasons.

Club (6-19yrs)
CITY provides teams at single age groups at multiple levels for both girls and boys. Each team is assigned a full time USSF licensed coach who is background checked, Safe Sport qualified, concussion and first aid trained along with a full time assistant coach who work together within a pool training environment which enhances the players long term development.
High School (14-19YRS) players will still play for their school team (Spring for Girls / Fall for Boys) and then play for the club. For those players looking to excel into college soccer we have our College Player Pathway to support those initiatives.

Players who are excelling within the club environment are selected through our ongoing evaluation process to step into the top level teams from U9+. U13+ Boys teams compete in the ECNL Regional League with the plan for Girls by Fall 2024.
Academy players also play in the USLY (formerly Super Y League) in the summer. U13, U15, and U19 also all play in the USL Academy Cup in Tampa.
