Fall 2026 Soccer Updates 👇

We are working behind the scenes for another great soccer season! Practice information will be EMAILED to all parents today (8/19) or tomorrow (8/20). We appreciate your patience while we wait on a few coaches to determine what practice times work with their schedule. Practices start the week of August 24th at the Rantoul Family Sports Complex.

We have a wonderful group of parents who have stepped up to volunteer coach and we are beyond grateful for their commitments, BUT‼️we still need coaches for U6, U8, and U10‼️We have WAY more kids registered this season than expected, which is so wonderful!!! To keep our team sizes smaller, we need more coaches in these age groups. If you are interested in coaching, please reach out to Phoenix LaCombe, [email protected] or (217) 893-5771

Coaches will need to run at least one practice a week, be responsible for the equipment bag and practice drills, communicate weekly schedules with team parents, and attend games on Saturday mornings and any possible Monday night games. Our soccer league plays in Rantoul, Fisher, Gibson City, and Paxton.
