Get a kick out of soccer!
The YMCA is Atlanta’s leading provider of youth soccer with a curriculum that emphasizes youth development. Our programs focus on teamwork and sportsmanship, taught along with an appreciation for the game. Soccer engages children in sports while teaching them basic movements and skills. With spring and fall programs available, Y Soccer offers something for all skill levels.
Y soccer encourage and promote healthy kids, families, and communities by placing a priority on family involvement, healthy competition rather than rivalry, the value of participation over winning, team-building as well as individual development, a positive self-image and a sense of fair play and mutual respect for others.
Families are encouraged to be more than mere spectators, by contributing their time as volunteer coaches—as well as being their kid’s greatest fan.

Soccer at the Y helps your child...
Build Self-confidence
When kids are active in sports their self-esteem grows as they learn how strong their bodies are and develop physical skills and self-reliance.
Practice Sportsmanship
Being a good sport shows respect for others and helps keep the game in perspective. Understanding sportsmanship fosters positive habits.
Gain New Skills
Kids learn the basics of the game and refine existing skills under the supervision of caring, skilled, and supportive coaches and instructors.
Learn Discipline
Practicing youth sports regularly helps kids learn the importance of discipline, organization, showing self-control, and staying focused.
I believe playing sports at the Y is a great opportunity for kids to go out and have fun. Learning how to be a valuable team member, and competition, sportsmanship is so important - and that's what kids get at the Y.
