Premier Club Accreditation Program

The Illinois Youth Soccer Premier Club Accreditation Program highlights clubs that have shown to be outstanding in the pillars of youth sports: Coaching Education, Parent Engagement, Player Development, Safeguarding & Participation.

To be recognized in each of these categories, an IYSA member club must meet specific criteria to earn the following badges:

  • Coaching Education Badge
  • Player Development Badge
  • Parent Engagement Badge
  • Safeguarding Badge
  • Competition Participation Badge

Clubs will be recognized as they earn each individual badge. Once a club has earned all five badges, the club will earn the distinct recognition of being an Illinois Youth Soccer Premier Club.

Congratulations to the following clubs that have earned Illinois Youth Soccer Premier Club status.

  • Chicago City SC
