Calendar For Soccer (Chicago)

@BuddysHELPERS proudly presents the 24th Annual BODYARMOR Sports Series refreshed by DUDE Wipes - We’re Ready, Are YOU? #MoreThanJUSTGames

2026 off-the-field theme: Gratitude. We will once again hit this theme in 2026, as it’s an important daily reminder when it comes to self care. We are going to do something bigger and better with this, as far too many forget to appreciate what opportunities we have each and every day.

Seeding for boys and girls coaches due by Feb. 15, 2026: CLICK HERE. A different link must be filled out for each level, each gender.

Lifesize player poster shoot dates: Sunday, March 15 (girls - makeup); Sunday, April 19 (boys).

Reminder: Tiebreakers are - 1. Did your team take part in Random Acts of Kindness for 90 minutes in February? 2. Head-to-Head. 3. Goals Against. 4. Did You Win On Opening Day?
