Programs

Take your child’s soccer skills to the next level with the Pleasant Dale Park District 1st–2nd Grade Youth Soccer League! Designed for emerging players ready for more structured gameplay, this recreational soccer program helps young athletes develop stronger fundamentals, improve coordination, and gain confidence on the field.

Guided by volunteer parent coaches, participants will learn essential soccer techniques, positional play, teamwork, and sportsmanship—all while having fun and staying active. The 1st–2nd Grade Soccer League includes one weeknight practice each week, followed by competitive yet friendly Saturday soccer games that allow players to apply what they’ve learned.

Players who register before March 1 will receive their official team soccer uniform ahead of the first game. At the end of the season, every player will be awarded a trophy to celebrate participation, growth, and team achievement.

Give your young athlete the perfect blend of fun, fitness, and foundational skill-building—register for the Pleasant Dale Park District 1st–2nd Grade Youth Soccer League today and watch their love for the game grow!

Spring Soccer registration deadline is Sunday, March 1st. Registrations taken after this date will be placed on the wait list and will be assessed a $20 late fee. Sign up on time, as there are no guarantees that a child will be accepted off the wait list. Late registrations will be accepted through the start of the season, but are not guaranteed a spot in the league, will not be granted buddy requests, and may not receive uniforms until after the season has started.

We are unable to accept requests for practice days/times and/or specific coaches on any registrations. After team rosters are assembled, each team will be assigned to a specific practice time based on volunteer coach preferences. Practices will be on weeknights between 4-8pm. Players that cannot attend their scheduled practice will not be moved to another team. Players that cannot attend their scheduled practice will be offered the opportunity to practice with another team at a more convenient time and will still play games on Saturdays with their original team.
