USL YOUTH
Boys & Girls U11 - U14
#THISISWHY
The USL Youth platform fosters an inclusive youth soccer community through events, content, and experiences. The centerpiece is a high-level national competition that complements the existing youth soccer infrastructure and culminates in the annual USL Youth Finals.
2026 USL Youth
ID CLINICS
Through our partnership with USL Youth, we will continue to host our elective summer program, outside of our 10-month academy calendar. Players selected will train throughout the summer and play a series of games throughout the Midwest. This is a club-neutral program and we are inviting players from all clubs throughout Central Ohio to join us in creating competitive teams for both boys and girls in the 9v9 and 11v11 spaces.
2026 USL Youth Season - ID Clinics
- U11 & U12 Boys & Girls – Sun, Feb 15 10am-11am
- U13 & U14 Boys & Girls – Sat, Feb 15 11am-12pm
The USL Youth Program is first and foremost a training program.
Players will be selected via the ID Clinics to participate in the training groups during the summer, and will have the opportunity to compete for roster spots during USL Youth league games and events. Teams will be competing to qualify for the 2026 USL Youth Finals in December (Tampa, Florida).
⚠ Important Notes:
Players selected during tryouts will be placed into a player pool and may not participate in all games. This ensures a competitive environment focused on development and readiness. The program will run during the summer months of June and July.
