Our family wants to give a shout out to YSI for not missing a beat during the pandemic by pivoting programming during all phases of COVID-19. We are happy to be back on the field but so pleased with how they kept the athletes moving along in creative ways during the stay at home order. If you are looking for a soccer program in the city check out YSI. The coaches are top notch and the programming is solid and motivating for the participants!!

We have been at YSI for a couple years now and it is the best program in the city! My kids love going to soccer, the coaches are extremely dedicated to the players yet they are still firm with their approach! This is the place where they actually learn how to play the game and start to have a love for soccer! We appreciate all you do! Thanks again!

Best football for kids in the city by far. Coaches are amazing and my kids love it. being from Europe and growing up playing the beautiful sport I am so impressed by these guys. keep it up.

YSI has been such an amazing outlet for my 7yr old son. The coaches are fantastic! They are great with the kids, teaching them the skills they need to play soccer as well as teaching them how to be a good teammate. My son always looks forward to practices and games and loves the friends he’s made through this program!

This was such an amazing organization, my kids had a great time and we all felt very safe. Almost all kids wore masks. Would love it more if they were mandatory for all kids though.

Our son really enjoys the experience! Coaches are great and motivating, the class active and we have seen significant improvements. Class + Game is a winning combination! Thank you YSI!

The coaches are very professional and the kids learn great technical and sportsmanship skills while having fun.

Excellent soccer program! Fantastic coaches and great community. My son loves it and his soccer skills have improved immensely since joining.

Great soccer program in Chicago! The coaches have great experience and are awesome at engaging the kids, even during the quarantine classes! Highly recommended!

There is an amazing team spirit at YSI.The coaches are great and very supportive to the kids.My son had been enrolled with them for the last 2 years and he loves his team mates and his coaches.We are really looking forward to the next season!

My son has been in the YSI family for several years now. I have nothing but words of gratitude to the academy. The growth they have developed in my son on his soccer skills, as a player, teammate an so on is amazing. I highly recommend it with my eyes closed. Great experience. GO YSI!!

This is the best soccer - or football as I call it in South America- school we have fond in the city for our kids!They teach them playing .... but playing soccer ... with inclusion - all kids play- and technical savvy coming from the founders profesional soccer background.I find myself repeating the tricks my kids learn while playing my own games at age past 40.They love what they do and you can see it reflected in the Friendly and still technically rich environment they create with their soccer school!Congratulations YSI!

Our son has been with YSI for several years now and has had a phenomenal experience and grown tremendously as a player. The YSI coaches are amazing, and the program feels like a family. There is an emphasis of fundamental ball skills, and the kids work hard and get a ton of exercise while having fun.

Joining the YSI family 3 years ago was one of the best decisions we’ve made! We initially chose them based on their location and convenient class times but came to love them as they built our daughter and son’s soccer skills, confidence and sportsmanship! Both our children have built deep attachments to their coaches and team mates...even during the pandemic we are part of the twice a week team soccer zoom meets.........GO YSI!

Trainers who are great with kids and who actually played soccer/football competitively. I also like a lot but they bring their own equipment including balls.

Its a great soccer program and I have lots of fun!I have learned lots of moves and team skills. :)

The coaches are knowledgeable and engaging, and they have taught both of my sons the footwork and strategy to play the game. It has been really exciting to watch them grow and learn the sport. YSI coaches also understand child development and are patient with the children. This has helped my children become more patient and tolerant of frustration. I’m glad we signed up for YSI because they learned to play soccer and gained several life skills.

YSI has been an incredible experience for our daughter. Not only is it about developing hockey skills, it’s about developing friendships, sportsmanship and community. In these current crazy times, YSI has gone above and beyond to stay connected and keep the girls active. I cannot recommend Coach Kini and his team highly enough!

A great program and excellent coaching! I highly recommend it.

Well done program, my kid loves it! Great instruction and personal attention!

Such a wonderful coaching staff and community. We love YSI!

YSI is definitely the best soccer school in the city. We started three years ago and my kids have not only learned soccer skills but come to love the game. The coaches are exceptional and work together towards the same high standards. My kids have gained confidence and sportsmanship. I cannot recommend YSI higlhy enough. Go YSI!!

Best soccer academy un Chicago!

Highly recommended!
