The Arlington Heights Park District and the Arlington Aces Soccer Club provide the framework for children to learn this exciting and rewarding sport while developing individual skills and learning the importance of teamwork.
Club Organization
The Arlington Aces Soccer Club is a program offered by the Arlington Heights Park District. The ultimate authority, like any other Park program, rests with the Park Board.
Youth Sports Philosophy
The Park District recognizes that competition in and of itself is a part of life and if placed in the proper perspective something that an individual learns from. Competition as viewed by the Park District will encourage the participants to strive to be the best they can be. Winning and losing will be deemphasized whenever possible, with the emphasis placed on participation, learning and enjoyment. In an effort to keep the recreational philosophy and to serve the greatest number of residents, athletic programs will be designed to encourage participation for the beginner and mid-level athlete. Although the Park District may offer traveling programs in certain sports in which the competition intensity increases, the overall focus should still remain on fun and learning. For certain participants their skill level and competitive needs may exceed the capabilities of the Park District program or resources and they may need to seek outside or private clubs and organizations.
Leagues
House League
Our house league is designed to introduce and help grow your child’s love for the game of soccer. After registering, your child will be placed on a team based on their age/grade, reciprocal friend request, school, or local community center. Practice locations, days, and times will be determined by your volunteer parent coaches. Each team will have one weekly1-hour practice and one to two games each weekend. Team assignments, practices schedule, and all the other information you’ll need for the season will be sent via email no later than April 2nd.
Practices start the week of April 6th and first games are the weekend of April 18th. Dates subject to change.
REGISTRATION CLOSES ON MARCH 10th
All registrations after this date will be put on our WAITLIST. Our goal is to find as many waitlisted participants roster spots as possible. However, this will only occur after initial teams have been formed. Therefore, friend requests and grouping with classmates may be more difficult to honor. You will be notified via email no later than April 3rd that you’ve been placed on a team. You will not be charged for the program while on the waitlist.
QUESTIONS?
Contact Athletic Supervisor, Laura Husko, at Lhusko@ahpd.org
Based on registration numbers, we may need to combine grades and or genders. We typically try to keep the same teams from the fall season to the spring season; however, some teams will be determined based on registration numbers.

The Aces U7 through U10 age groups use an Academy model, which provides high-level, structured training to players who demonstrate a passion for the game and a commitment to further developing skills through concentrated training. The Academy program emphasizes individual, skills-based training and small-sided games, designed to provide an inspiring, fun environment that fosters confidence, creativity, and composure.
Through small-sided games, all the players have the opportunity to play together regularly. Team rosters are more fluid than traditional models, and some roster movement may occur between the fall and spring seasons and for tournaments.

The Aces Youth Development Program (U11 through U14) emphasizes age-appropriate technical skills and tactical decision-making to ensure that players learn new and improve existing skills at every age level. In addition to twice weekly team practices, the club runs a weekly technical training/goalkeeping session: sessions are split by age.

Our Aces High School Program is the pinnacle of our player development pyramid. At these age groups, we aim to provide our players with a higher level of competitive opportunities. After developing our players’ technical and tactical skills throughout the U7-U14 age groups, our goal at the High School age groups is to further develop our team concept of playing and competing. Players at this age group will have the opportunity to play in leagues and tournaments that will challenge them at a very good level.
