Registration Underway for YMCA Summer Soccer Program

CLARION, Pa. – The Clarion County YMCA is gearing up for a new season of Summer Soccer for youth. Kids from Clarion County and beyond are invited to join the program to build a solid foundation for team sports and learn soccer skills.

YMCA Summer Soccer is a participation-based program for boys and girls in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade (for the 2025-2026 school year)!

The YMCA program focuses on learning the fundamentals of soccer while fostering teamwork and sportsmanship. Volunteer coaches lead practices, and games are held every Saturday at the YMCA Sports Field on Mayfield Road.

The YMCA has revamped the program for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, ages 4 to 6,  with a YMCA staff-led clinic-style program! This new structure is designed to improve their skills and knowledge of the game through drills, objective-based games, and scrimmages.

The program is led by Clarion County YMCA Associate Director, Max Krepps.  Krepps has a background in Youth Sports, having served as the Youth Director at the Oil City YMCA for nine years.
