CLUB GOALS

South Side Elite FC would like to be known as the elite youth soccer club in Northern Illinois and Region II, recognized for its program and player development excellence. The club's goal is to provide College scholarships for individual players in soccer. We will accomplish this by providing the best training, player conditioning, and knowledge-based coaching.

We offer a sponsorship program called The Player Tuition Program for players from low-income families that can not afford the high costs of club soccer which costs an average family $3,000 a year. This program is funded by charitable donations, sponsors and, grant-giving foundations. 

Our club is looking to reach out to the communities of Englewood, Blue Island, Washington Heights, Morgan Park, Chatham, Chicago Lawn, Marionette Park, Ashburn, Auburn Gresham, Burbank, Mt. Greenwood, Roseland, Pullman, Robbins, Posen, Dolton, Alsip and Crestwood boys and girls of all ages.

South Side Elite FC will be working with religious groups, school boosters, small businesses, and leaders in those communities to better serve the neighborhoods.

In the future, we would like to open a facility to run our soccer and multi-sports operations located on the South Side of Chicago.
