Soccer provides children of all ages an opportunity to stay fit, improve their motor skills, learn teamwork and have a great time. Grade-based teams, from Kindergarten through 8th Grade, ensure that players make new friends and play with their peers at all skill levels.

The soccer program is designed to appeal to a wide range of soccer abilities, from introducing the game to novices with no prior experience, to challenging more experienced players. During any given season there may be over 800 children involved playing on over 75 teams. All games (excluding Kindergarten) are officiated by USSF certified and qualified soccer referees.

In-house games are all played locally at Bartlett fields whereas Inter-Village requires teams to travel up to 20 minutes away to play surrounding communities such as Carol Stream, Elgin, Bloomingdale, Hanover Park, Streamwood, and Medinah.

Teams wear professional looking soccer uniforms (included in the registration fee) and are named after World Cup countries, Division I colleges and teams from around the world encouraging players to learn more about the international soccer community. Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Graders receive a new uniform in the Fall and Spring. 3rd-8th Grade players wear the same uniform for both Fall and Spring.

Teams are newly formed for the Fall season. The only players guaranteed to be on a team are the children of the “official” head and assistant coaches and team coordinators. All other players are randomly assigned. Due to the size and nature of the program we do not accept carpool, friendship, practice location or coach requests. Fall players return to the same team in the Spring if they choose to play. New Spring players are added to existing Fall teams.

Our program requires the talent and effort of a large team of willing volunteers. We are always recruiting head coaches, assistant coaches and team coordinators so be sure to check the box on the registration form or complete the volunteer application form if you'd like to help. We provide all the necessary training, resources and equipment to ensure you are prepared to coach and have a fun and rewarding experience.

Team Sports Refund Policy Refunds requested after the registration deadline will be issued only if a replacement is found and registered. A $6 administrative fee is charged per person. The uniform portion of the registration fee is not guaranteed to be refunded.
