Soccer Leagues
Leagues are offered in spring, fall, and winter, and open to boys and girls, ages 3-14. Basic skills of the game are developed through soccer games and activities. Our leagues strive to have every child play 50% of every game while making friends and learning new techniques. Our soccer program helps kids become not only better soccer players, but better people as well. It's a progressive program, with multiple age-specific levels. We encourage fair play, positive competition, and family involvement. Learn more about our leagues with the YMCA of Central Kentucky!
