Ages 9-11 & 12-14
At the Idaho Falls Family YMCA, our 9–11 and 12–14 divisions feature Boys Teams and Girls Teams in a Unified Team Format. Each roster is made up of 6 club-level players and 6 YMCA players to create balanced, competitive teams where every child can learn, grow, and succeed on the field.
In past seasons, YMCA players and recreational players often felt discouraged when facing teams made up entirely of club-level athletes. By blending experienced and developing players on the same team, we create a community where kids of all skill levels grow together, support one another, and build confidence both on and off the field.

Our High School division gives older players a competitive, community-based league to stay active, sharpen their skills, and enjoy the game with friends. Whether you play for your school team or just love soccer, this league offers a great balance of competition and camaraderie.

FAQs
Playerspace is a sports communication portal, partnered with the Idaho Falls YMCA program, to strengthen the overall communications for our sports leagues.
You will find all the essential information for your player(s) league(s). You can find game/practice schedules, coach contact information, and even receive messages from your coach or other parents on the team. You will also receive messages regarding team pictures, weather status updates and cancellations for games/practices.
When you register your child for the sports league, you automatically are registered with an account on Playerspace. There is no need to create a new account! You will receive an e-mail with your username and password the first week of practice. From there you can visit playerspace.com and click “sign-in” at the top of right corner.
This is very common and is an easy fix! Please email us request to be invited as a “fan” of the team. You will also need permission from the main account holder and from there you will receive an email with a link that you will need to click on to be added. Once you have been added as a “fan” you will be able to see all of the necessary league information.
Be sure to check your junk, trash and spam folders for Playerspace. You will need to add [email protected] to your safe sender list. If you still are not receiving emails, please contact the Sports Department [email protected].
Please ensure you are logged in as yourself as the “Master Account”, and not on your child’s dashboard. To tell if you are logged in as one of your children, check to see if it states your name’s dashboard or your child’s dashboard. To login as yourself, simply visit playerspace.com and login with your credentials that were emailed.
