There are three leagues open to children who are in grades 1-6 in Fall 2024 and who live or go to school in Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights, or Marble Cliff. Bantam I League - Grades 1 & 2, Bantam II League - Grades 3 & 4, and Intermediate League - Grades 5 & 6. Games are held on Sunday afternoons and played in Upper Arlington and Grandview Heights Parks. Northwest Kiwanis Youth Soccer is a recreational soccer league that stresses the fun and fundamentals of soccer. We are open to players of all soccer skill levels. Practice schedules, including skill drills and practice games, are determined by each team’s coach. Teams are assigned by gender. All attempts are made to group players with children from the same school or neighborhood, however this is not always possible. Youth who played on a team in the Fall 2024 session will use their same shirt and ball and remain on their same team for Spring 2025. If a replacement shirt is needed, there is a link for shirt replacement ($10) on the registration site. The fee for new players for the Spring 2025 session only is $50/player. You will be assigned to a team from the Fall session that needs additional players and will receive a team shirt, a soccer ball, paid referees and, weather permitting, 6 games. There are no makeup games.

High school soccer players (both boys and girls) from Upper Arlington and Grandview Heights High Schools will teach the basic fundamentals of the game. The fee for K.I.D.S.
