Northwest Kiwanis Youth Soccer is a recreational soccer league that stresses the fun and fundamentals of soccer. We are open to players of all soccer skill levels. Practice schedules, including skill drills and practice games, are determined by each team’s coach. Teams are assigned by gender. All attempts are made to group players with children from the same school or neighborhood, however this is not always possible.
The fee for new players for the Spring 2026 session only is $45/player. You will be assigned to a team, receive a team shirt, a soccer ball, paid referees and, weather permitting, 6 games. There are no makeup games.

WE NEED YOU! Volunteer Coaches: Our program is dependent on volunteer parent coaches. Our goal is to have a group of coaches for each team. If you would like to volunteer, you can indicate your interest on the registration form as you are signing up your child. Working with children is one of the most gratifying ways to spend your time, so please consider volunteering to be a head or assistant coach of your child’s team. Parents will only be able to head coach one of their children’s teams. For everyone’s safety coaches will be subject to an online background check and must complete the concussion training required by the state of Ohio before coaching a team.
Northwest Kiwanis will be responsible for following compliance with best practices and the Responsible Restart Ohio guidelines published by the Ohio Department of Health.
