Youth Academy

Established in 2023, Billings Football Club was created to offer high-quality soccer training on the Northwest Side of Chicago. Our professional team boasts years of experience in training youth athletes and providing a positive environment for their development, while growing a love for the game. Our Academy is designed to work alongside your current club, not replace it. Players can train and compete with the Billings FC Academy while still playing for their club -- gaining extra development and elite event opportunities during club downtime. 

Train. Compete. Be Seen.

This summer, Billings FC invites top players from across Chicago to join our Elite Youth Academy Program, culminating in competition at Copita Alianza July 18-19 in Rockford, IL — the largest Hispanic youth soccer showcase in the United States.

• Chivas
