About The Club
Chicago Calcio is a youth soccer club that serves players 4-18 years of age in the Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Maywood, Elmwood Park, Berwyn, Melrose Park, and surrounding areas.
Why We Started
Chicago Calcio was formed with the goal of making high quality soccer training and development more affordable and accessible to the area. We believe that increasing the level of play in the United States starts at the grassroot level and there needs to be more affordable entry points for youth coming into the game to have a fun, positive, and educational experience. We believe this will attract more families to the game and open up pathways to success for youth in the community.
Development Over Selection
At Calcio we are focused on player development, not just selecting the best players at a specific moment in time. Regardless of your current skill level, if you are motivated and have a desire to play the game, we will train you to compete at the travel level.
Coaches
Our coaches all have multiple years of elite competitive soccer experience and are professionally licensed to coach at every age level. We take a player centric approach to coaching to make sure that each individual in the program is having fun but being challenged to perform at their optimal level.
Mission
Our mission at Chicago Calcio is to make soccer accessible for anyone who is interest in playing the game. We are dedicated to providing an affordable travel team experience with high quality training that develops players into confident leaders on and off the field.
Vision
With passionate players and a dedicated coaching staff, our vision at Chicago Calcio is to be one of the top youth soccer clubs in the state.
