Everyone is excited about 100+ star-studded, action-packed soccer games happening this summer. They're played at the highest level and played in our own backyard!
Whether your kids are catching a game in-person or they're parked in front of the tv taking mental notes of what they want to accomplish, we want to help them take their passion and put it into practice!
Whether your aspiring athlete is ready to compete or just ready to get started, we have a program for them to take their soccer skills to the next level.
Instructional Programs
This is a great place to start for all ages. Our coaches are trained and certified through the Positive Coaching Alliance and help aspiring soccer players master the fundamentals of the sport while learning sportsmanship and teamwork in a supportive and safe environment.
Union Rec
We teamed up with the Philadelphia Union to offer a recreational soccer program at the Rocky Run YMCA! Players will learn the ins and outs of the sport, receive a Philadelphia Union branded jersey, and have two sessions that are run by Philadelphia Union youth coaches!
Soccer for Success
This program is designed by the U.S. Soccer Foundation to give youth access to innovative play spaces and evidence-based programs that teach soccer skills, foster well-being, and help youth achieve their fullest potential.
This program is offered in the Camden area from October - May each year.
Soccer Camp
Did you know we offer soccer-focused summer camps at two camp locations as well as more general sports camps at ten camp locations?
Your kids can have fun experiencing camp while they work on their skills, stay active, and make new friends!
Soccer Leagues
We love a little friendly competition! We host seasonal soccer leagues at varying YMCA locations each year. Leagues build on instructional programs by offering an option to compete against other aspiring athletes in a supportive environment.
Open Play Spaces
We know the benefits of keeping kids active and getting them outside to play. That's why we love having so many outdoor spaces that facilitate open play opportunities, including our newest location: Roxborough YMCA's Mini Pitch!
While sports help kids stay active, they also provide many developmental, social, and health advantages, too! Click the link below to learn more about the benefits of playing sports for children.
