Niles Youth Soccer League
Niles
Niles Youth Soccer League runs a spring recreational and instructional program for ages 4–16, with age divisions by birth year for the 2026/27 season. Spring 2026 recreational fees ran $40–$90 depending on age group (a $150 team-sponsor option is also offered), and the club states fees "include shirt, shorts, socks, insurance, referee fees, and awards." The season runs on a defined calendar — registration in February–March, practices starting around April 6th or 12th, games May–July — plus Fall and winter futsal seasons. All volunteer coaches must register on GotSport and complete Ohio Soccer Association and USYS requirements. The club also supports competitive teams that play in the Youngstown Area Youth Soccer League (YAYSL) and the Mahoning Valley High School Soccer Coaches Association, with a stated partnership to Niles McKinley High School's boys' and girls' soccer teams; tryouts for those competitive/middle-school teams run the week of June 15th at Steven's Park. The ratings on this profile describe the recreational program, which is what most of the club's published information covers; the competitive program is described here but not separately rated, since its cost and travel expectations aren't published.
