Boys in 3rd to 8th grade are invited to play soccer at NorthStar in both competitive and recreational leagues.
Boys in grades 3-8 from all over the Omaha metro are welcome to play soccer at NorthStar – and they can do so while playing for other organizations. We began offering soccer in 2019 in partnership with Football for the World Foundation, whose mission is to improve the lives of youth through football.
NorthStar soccer teams are teams divided by age: Under 14 (U14), Under 12 (U12), and Under 10 (U10). We play in two leagues –SOKA (recreational) and Nebraska (competitive).
NorthStar soccer is a great way for young men to stay active, compete, and improve their own playing skills. Read on to learn more about our season, practices, team assignments and more.
