Play On

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 10-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.

If you would like to receive information regarding future registrations, please email futures@stlcitysc.com.

The Spring 2026 Play On season will run from March 24th - May 28th. Currently, we offer Play On sessions at five satellite locations around the St. Louis region.

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 (2017/2018), U11 (2015/2016), and U13 (2013/2014).

Play On is a dedicated 10-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.

Following each Play On season, players from all locations get the chance to compete together in a fun, one-day tournament - CITY Cup! The event includes a DJ, food trucks, and CITY player appearances. Players must register at the end of the Play On season in order to participate.

After the first few weeks of Play On, the Head Coaches will invite a group of U11 and U13 players to participate in Play On+ for the remaining 7 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.

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.
