Play On

Play On presented by BJC HealthCare is our free weekly soccer program intended to give more kids in St. Louis holistic soccer training from professional coaches.
At St. Louis CITY SC, we believe that soccer is for ALL!
Play On is our approach to bring high-quality training to different communities in St. Louis. More than just soccer skills, this is a 12-week holistic training program that uses soccer to educate kids physically, socially, and emotionally. Whether they’re new to the game or simply looking for more ways to play, Play On provides kids a weekly place to play, learn and grow. We offer beginner and advanced sessions across different age groups. Each group is limited to 14 players to ensure a good playing experience for each team.

Who Can Play
Play On is intended for both new and experienced players. We divide players into teams based on skill level and the following age groups: U9 (2016/2017), U11 (2014/2015), and U13 (2012/2013).
How It Works
Play On is a dedicated 12-week training program that combines technical and tactical soccer training with social and emotional learning. At CITY, we believe that soccer is more than just a sport, it’s a way to learn about ourselves and the world in which we live. From passing and shooting to teamwork and collaboration, we use soccer to educate the next generation of players and people.
CITY Cup presented by World Wide Technology
While we segment players based on region for ease of access, we bring everyone together three times per year. Following each Play On season (Fall/Spring), kids get the chance to compete in a fun environment at the CITY Cup!
Play On+
After the first few weeks of Play On, the Head Coaches will invite a group of players to participate in Play On+ for the remaining 9 weeks of the Play On season. This is another free and fun soccer experience from CITY – designed to provide additional support and opportunities for kids with exceptional skill and a passion for the game. Here, our Community Coaches provide additional training to nurture players' technical and tactical skills.
Know Before You Go
Community coaches and CITY Futures staff help lead and organize the Play On and Play On+ sessions. The training is designed to be fun and holistic, giving kids experience and knowledge that will help them on and off the pitch.
