Youth Sports

Soccer is a popular pastime in the Rohingya community and is a great way to tie the youth to RCC. Soccer teaches them how to function as a team, become leaders, and learn the benefits of cooperation, hard work, and practice.

We currently have three soccer teams which consist of youth boys, teen boys and young adult boys. This indoor and outdoor program is organized by volunteers. We organize summer soccer tournaments with other Rohingya communities in the US and Canada, and play in different leagues in Chicago. These programs are fully funded through donations as team membership is too expensive for Rohingya families. We have received supplies to start our girls soccer team so we hope to have that fully running soon.
