Sports Court/Field

Woodstock United Soccer Association (WUSA) is committed to helping young athletes grow not only in the sport of soccer, but also in their personal growth. We are proud members of the Illinois Youth Soccer Association (IYSA) and offer soccer programs for children ages 4-18. 

At WUSA, we strive to create a learning environment that is positive, respectful, fair, and challenging. Our aim is to make soccer enjoyable and instill a lifelong passion for the game in our players. We are dedicated to helping young athletes build self-esteem, foster meaningful relationships, and learn valuable life lessons through the sport of soccer. 

We also believe in showing respect for the rules, opponents, officials, and teammates. We emphasize the importance of teamwork and excellence in all aspects of the game. These goals can only be achieved with the help of our entire organization and the support of our community. WUSA is proud to be making an impact on our children and our community through the sport of soccer.

This age group is designed to introduce players to the thrill of playing soccer and is coached by our parent-volunteer coaches.

The final 30 minutes with a scheduled scrimmage game against another team in the age group.

U4/6 Age Group

WUSA will be offering referee training for any new referee. This training will begin with you officiating U8 games alongside a referee mentor/trainer; as well as an AR at the U12 level, alongside a mentor/trainer. You then move to the U10 level working either as a center referee (under a mentor/trainer supervision) or in a two-man configuration, partnered with a mentor/trainer. This training does not certify or recertify you but is required if you have no referee experience. Training schedule dates will be based on interest. Referees, once completing a season as a trainee referee; will be recommended to attend an Illinois Soccer Referee Committee (ISRC) sponsored certification class to get patched in order to continue officiating WUSA/Crossfire SC matches.

My kids had a fantastic experience. It is refreshing to see emphasis placed on collaboration, teamwork, and skills rather than winning. Parents, staff, and coaches have all been outstanding.

Instead of engaging in intense competition, the emphasis is on the kids having fun, staying healthy, and getting some practice. Wonderful experience. Thank you to all the coaches who volunteered!

Every time I pick up my daughter from this activity, she glows with joy. She claims that sports are a lot of fun, and she enjoys seeing her friends and making new friends. She adores her trainer.
