About ASC

Two of our boys teams, U14 and U16 participate in the MRL (Midwest Regional League) and three of the boys teams play in the NISL premier league, U14,U15 and U16. Three years ago America 's Soccer Club established the ASC Junior program which is our recreational program and plays indoors and outdoors. In its young history, the program has grown from just 75 players to 185 players with continuous growth. There are eighteen teams competing in our recreational program known as ASC JUNIORS. ASC also conducts a weekly Preschool and Kindergarten Program for boys and girls 4-6 years old. Six week, eight week and ten week sessions are available. The Pro Trainers and Coaches from America's Soccer Club do the actual training of the young players for both the ASC Junior and ASC Preschool and Kingergarten programs. Refer to our Recreational Programs Page for details. The ASC Junior, ASC Preschool and Kindergarten programs are conducted at Just For Kicks Indoor/Outdoor Soccer Facility. Just For Kicks also serves as the home for our winter training and indoor play.

Both the NISL (Northern Illinois Soccer League) and the IWSL (Illinois Womens Soccer League) are affiliates of IYSA (Illinois Youth Soccer Association). The fall season for the boys starts with a seeding tournament in August. The boys and girls fall league starts in September and usually ends the first week in November. The spring season starts in April and ends in June.
