Player Developmental Pathways
Palatine Celtic SC provides a soccer program for boys and girls of all ability levels. The player pathway describes how a player can progress through our programs. The Palatine Celtic program starts players with the Junior Academy Program and moves along on either the recreational or competitive pathway.
Program pages provide more details so that you know what to expect. Players may move between the recreational and competitive pathways at any age. Palatine Celtic is committed to aligning coaching practices to support all pathways in an effort to best enable players to develop throughout their time with the club.
Celtic Junior Academy
Program

Our Celtic Junior Academy is the first competitive step in the Palatine Celtic SC player pathway. The goal of this program is to ignite a passion for the game in our youth! Each training will focus on developing the athletic, technical, and tactical abilities in each player.
Our coaching philosophy is based on the development of the individual player. Our staff is focused on creating a positive environment for your player to develop their skills, foster creativity, and spark joy for the game.
The program is open to all boys and girls, Pre-K, K and 1st grade. Each session is led by our Program Director, Hannah Fuchs. Our junior academy is broken down into two age groups.
- Ages 3 and 4
- Ages 5 to 7

Summer Camps are available in June and July.
The house recreational program is available to players of all skill levels. Availability will depend on field space, age group and gender. Waitlist registrants can increase their chances of being placed by indicating their willingness to help coach their child’s team.

From U8, players may tryout for the competitive program, or start/continue in the recreational program. The Palatine Celtic Competitive Program is for year round player-focused development. Teams are coached by USSF Licensed Professional Coaches. Players are exposed to competitive training and different playing environments to develop their physical, technical and tactical skills. The competitive program challenges our players to develop as players and leaders while competing at a high level. Level availability will differ depending on age group and gender.
