SOCCER - FALL - YOLO
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. The YMCA of Sacramento is one of the best places to learn and play this worldwide game and have a lot of fun while doing it! YMCA soccer emphasizes fun, teamwork, sportsmanship and inclusion for all, while encouraging kids to be healthier, but active
– a benefit to them both physically and mentally, as active kids are not only healthier, but do better in school. Playing organized sports is one predictor for developing into a well-adjusted teen and adult.
Soccer is a great choice for youth sports for many reasons. Because there is very little equipment needed, your investment as a parent isn't a barrier to entry. But more importantly, it's a game with simple rules that children can grasp from an early age.
Our YMCA soccer program is a developmental league that meets the athlete where he or she is and builds their skills from there. Whether their first season is at age 3 or age 13, YMCA coaches will help them get in the game and enjoy their experience.

FAQ's
When will I know when my child’s practice is?
Practice is one weekday evening per week. Practice usually takes place from 4:30 to 8:00pm and in 45 - 60 min in length. The day and time will be chosen by the volunteer coach at the coach meeting. The coach meeting is generally scheduled to take place the week before practice is set to start. At the coach meeting they will be instructed to reach out to their rosters and relay all of the season information and practice schedule.
I did not get my practice time request.
The teams are formed before the coaches have picked their practice times. So we are unable to honor practice time requests until after the coach meeting. If your child gets placed on a team that practices at a time you cannot make, email sports@ymcasuperiorcal.org to see if there is space on a team that practices when you and your child are available.
Can I request that my child be on their friend's team?
We allow player requests but we do not allow coach/ team requests. Requests need to be mutual. Meaning the parent of child 1 puts down the name of child 2 and the parent of child 2 puts down the name of child 1 during the registration process. Additionally, we try to keep our league as equitable and inclusive as possible, by trying to keep requests to half a team max. We feel this promotes equity because it prevents teams from getting "stacked" with players that have more experience. And it promotes inclusion because now children from a different background can work together through random assignments.
Do you have paid coaches?
The YMCA is a volunteer organization, and all of the coaches for our team sports are volunteers. They can be parents or members of the community. All of our coaches are required to get Livescan fingerprinting and complete concussion training. For our smaller classes, such as Peewee sports and Esports, we use a qualified and trained staff member.
What is the commitment of being a coach?
The commitment of coaching is one practice and one game per week for the duration of the 8 week sport season. The YMCA will supply the equipment and any training materials you may need, including practice plans. If you are interested in coaching, please email sports@ymcasuperiorcal.org.
What equipment will my child need?
The only sports with an equipment requirement are soccer and flag football. Soccer requires that your child wear shin guards during both practices and games. Flag football requires that your child wear a mouthguard during practices and games. For everything else, general athletic wear and athletic shoes are all your child needs. If you are in need of financial assistance to provide these pieces of equipment for your child, please contact sports@ymcasuperiorcal.org.
My YMCA account is not working, and I cannot register my child.
If you are having trouble logging into your existing YMCA account please email member services, or call the front desk of the YMCA and they can send you a password reset link.

Why do I have to pay an additional amount for a jersey? In the past the price has included a shirt.
Our 2023 registration prices are lower than they were in 2022. We hope that in the long run the new jerseys we are ordering starting spring of 2023 will save family's money because you will only need to purchase one shirt for soccer, flag football, volleyball, and dodgeball. That shirt should last until the child outgrows it. We will also have one shirt for basketball, which can be used for all seasons; Winter, Summer and Fall (Fall basketball offered at Sac Y only). That shirt will last until child outgrows it.
What does my registration fee cover?
Your registration fee pays for the things you see, like equipment (balls, goals, whistles), referees. And things you don't see, such as; the cost of using the facility, insurance coverage, fingerprinting for paid staff and volunteers, and wages for support staff and administration staff. The YMCA does not want to turn anyone away due to an inability to pay, so we hope those who cannot afford the league will use our Financial Assistance program: www.ymcasuperiorcal.org/Y-assist
I want to apply for financial assistance. How can I do that?
To apply for financial assistance complete the Y-Assist application and drop it off at the YMCA front desk or email it to membership@ymcasuperiorcal.org. You will be contacted via email within 5 business days to confirm your qualified award. Please allow time for this to get processed BEFORE priority registration ends.
