Youth Soccer with a Supportive Approach: Confidence, Teamwork, and Fun

Get In The Game!

In this engaging program, young players learn the fundamentals of soccer while making new friends and building self-confidence in a fun and supportive environment. Every child enjoys guaranteed playing time, promoting fair play and teamwork. Our dedicated coaches emphasize structured drills and positive competition, helping kids develop essential skills while fostering sportsmanship.

We also offer private and small group training sessions tailored to your child’s unique skill level, ensuring personalized attention from experienced instructors who focus on dribbling, passing, shooting, and strategy.

Our non-competitive, coeducational youth soccer program is designed to instill fundamental soccer skills, foster new friendships, enhance self-confidence, and create a safe and enjoyable environment for children. Sessions for this age group consist of a 30-minute practice followed by a 10-minute game. The primary objective of this division is to promote physical activity, enjoyment, and the creation of positive social experiences among participants. A soccer jersey is included.

SUMMIT AREA YMCA

BERKELEY HEIGHTS YMCA | SUMMIT YMCA | THE LEARNING CIRCLE YMCA

In 1886, we were founded as the Young Men’s Christian Association, but today, we are The Y; an association that values, and is made stronger by, its diverse people. We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive culture in which our four core values — responsibility, honesty, caring and respect — are integral to everyday operations.

Each year, as one of the area’s leading 501(c)3 charitable organizations, the Summit Area YMCA serves more than 15,000 individuals with our free and fee-based programs and services in an area spanning the New Jersey communities of Berkeley Heights, Gillette, Millburn, New Providence, Short Hills, Springfield, Stirling and Summit. Our history is rooted in working side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Through the generosity of our members, donors, and partners, we are able to offer financial assistance for our programs and services to those in need.

Please note that the section of Maple Street closest to the Summit YMCA will be closed from approximately 7 AM to 11 AM on Sunday, May 5, for our Mother’s Day 5K. Please use Cedar Street to access the public lot that is next to our building.
