UPDATE: Deadline extended for all ages! Sign up by March 19!
Bensenville, Ill. (Feb. 14, 2025)—The Bensenville Park District is launching its newly revamped Spring-Summer Intervillage Soccer League program under the leadership of professional soccer coach Ty Beshiri. The league is designed to provide a well-rounded youth soccer experience by combining weekly skill-development practices with Saturday games for a balance of training and competition.
“By integrating the USSF Academy curriculum into our practices, we’re ensuring that every player, regardless of skill level, has the opportunity to improve and grow their love for the game,” Beshiri says. “Our goal is to create confident, well-rounded players ready to take on any challenge.”
The league is divided into the following age groups: Pre-K and kindergarten, grades 1-2, grades 3-4, grades 5-6 and grades 7-8. Although the game schedule is still being finalized, games will be held between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturdays, from April 12 through June 7. Home games will take place at Varble Park.
Volunteers are essential to the program’s success, and the Bensenville Park District encourages parents and community members to get involved. Email BAponte@bvilleparks.org for more information.
“In our soccer program we either win or learn. Discipline through repetition and humility, or coachability, are the best reinforcement for the game we want to learn,” Beshiri adds.
The registration fee is $135 ($110 for in-district participants), which includes a full uniform kit. Returning players can use their previous uniforms with a fee of $95 ($80 in district) for those opting out of a new kit. The registration deadline is Feb. 28 at the Deer Grove Leisure Center, 1000 W. Wood St., Bensenville. Visit BvilleParks.org or call 630-766-7015 for more information.
