The Portage Youth Soccer Club, Inc. is a volunteer, non-profit organization serving the youth of Portage and surrounding communities. It is governed by an elected Board of Directors and Officers. Meetings are held at least once a month and may be attended by any interested person.

Our Mission

To be leaders in the "Soccer Community" with the common goal of providing accessible soccer opportunities to children in Portage and surrounding underserved communities. We strive to deliver fair, positive, and meaningful experiences that foster individual growth, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

Our Vision

To create an inclusive, engaging, and supportive soccer environment where every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to participate, learn, and grow in the sport of soccer. We envision a community where soccer programs are a vital part of youth development and where every child can thrive in a culture of respect, teamwork, and positive competition.

To accomplish this vision, we will be:

• A soccer community that "pays it forward"
• A soccer community known for quality leadership, programs, and service
• A soccer community that creates a fun, positive, healthy, and safe environment incorporating the principles of fair play and good sportsmanship
• A soccer community that is forward thinking and creative offering the best resources and educational opportunities for the development of players, coaches, administrators, referees and parents
• A soccer community that is sensitive and responsive to the needs of our players, coaches, administrators, referees, and parents.

Our Core Values
