our history
The Wilmette Wings Soccer Club is a competitive travel soccer club
that was founded and fielded its first team of U9 Boys in the fall
of 1995. The mission of the Wings is to provide the opportunity for
children to play, learn, develop, and compete at the highest levels, while
instilling a sense of pride for the Wilmette Community.
Each year the Wilmette Wings S.C. produces players that represent
the Wings at high school soccer programs such as New Trier, Loyola
Academy, Glenbrook North & South, Niles West & North, and Lake Forest
Academy. Many Wings have gone on to compete at the NCAA collegiate
level, and some have been named All-American soccer players.
Wilmette Wings S.C. has become the pride and joy of the Wilmette
Community and the Wings has grown into a club that fields 22-26
travel soccer teams per year. Players compete at the age levels of
U9-U14, and the Wings have an annual membership base of 380-400
players. Over 90% of the players are from the village of Wilmette,
but the club has players from Chicago and other neighboring suburbs.
Many of the Wilmette Wings S.C. players come from the Yorkshire
Mini-Soccer Classes & Camps within the Wilmette Park District,
and many are former players from the Wilmette Park District
recreational soccer league.
