Pekin Park District
The Pekin Park District Youth Soccer Program emphasizes fun, learning, and skill development. This six-week program will practice one night a week and play games on Saturday mornings. To make sure each player receives the maximum amount of playtime and contact with the ball, the number of players on a team are reduced. Each player will play at least half of each game. Team color t-shirt will be provided. Shin guards are required. Bringing an age appropriate ball to practice is recommended. Games start with a 15-minute warmup and 45 minutes of play officiated by volunteer coaches on the field to emphasize skill development. For questions, contact JJ Tassart at jtassart@pekinparkdistrict.org or call 201-4007. Registration: Register by choosing a practice night according to child’s age on April 7, 2026. Practice times may rotate between 5:30 and 6:30 pm on registered night and games on Saturday mornings between 9:00am and 12:00pm. Registration Deadline is March 22, 2026. Location: Soccer Fields located at PPD Sports Complex on Koch and 5th street
