Illinois Futbol Club

In coordination with Champaign Park District

Illinois FC Soccer Academy is a program for players in 1st and 2nd grade who are looking for a more challenging playing environment. The idea behind the academy is to create a bridge between the recreational player and competitive player. Illinois FC is focused on the development of each individual player, helping each player reach their potential in a fun-filled and challenging environment. The curriculum emphasizes technique training that strengthens dribbling, passing, shooting, ball control, decision-making and creativity. Team play is fostered through group exercises and small-sided matches. All instruction is done by licensed Illinois FC coaches.

The program meets once a week for six weeks. Players should bring a soccer ball, water bottle, and shin guards to each session. Soccer cleats are recommended. All players receive a free t-shirt.

The program is separate from the Park District Youth Soccer Leagues and travel soccer and can be done in addition to or instead of playing in those programs.
