The Illinois Youth Soccer Premier Club Accreditation Program highlights clubs that have shown to be outstanding in the pillars of youth sports: Coaching Education, Parent Engagement, Player Development, Safeguarding & Participation.
To be recognized in each of these categories, an IYSA member club must meet specific criteria to earn the following badges:
- Coaching Education Badge
- Player Development Badge
- Parent Engagement Badge
- Safeguarding Badge
- Competition Participation Badge
Clubs will be recognized as they earn each individual badge. Once a club has earned all five badges, the club will earn the distinct recognition of being an Illinois Youth Soccer Premier Club.
