USL-Youth Academy League

2026 USL-Youth Academy League Tryout

Thank You for your Interest in Team Chicago’s USL-Youth League

Team Chicago is thrilled to kick off its second season in the USL-Youth League, offering players a competitive environment to train and play throughout June and July. Team Chicago will have teams across all the age groups, with the 2016 & Older teams having the opportunity to qualify for the USL Youth National Championships, held each December in Tampa, Florida.

A unique feature of this program is that it welcomes both Team Chicago players & players from other clubs—there is no long-term commitment required. Participants will train twice a week from mid-June through late July and compete in 6-8 league matches, with each team’s final schedule varying slightly. Team Chicago will compete in the Midwest division, facing top teams from Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan, all under the direction of our professional coaching staff.

Majority of the matches will be played locally, others will take place at designated neutral venues hosted by the league. We are not required to attend all of these dates:
