Sports Programming Built With You, Not For You
Chicago Neighborhood Soccer (NBHD Soccer) brings customized soccer leagues directly to CPS schools through authentic community partnerships. REC 77 represents our commitment to all 77 neighborhoods in Chicago.
We're Chicago Neighborhood Soccer - a nonprofit run by locals who've been organizing games in South and West Side neighborhoods for 10+ years. We grew up here, still live here, and have built a 6,500+ member community through trust and consistency.
"REC 77 represents our commitment to all 77 neighborhoods in Chicago - starting with the ones we call home. We're not outsiders parachuting in - we're neighbors who know how to make sports work in our communities."
These are the neighborhoods we grew up in. We understand the community, the challenges, and what actually works for kids and families here.
6,500+ people choose to play with us because we consistently deliver quality experiences. Our reputation is built through word-of-mouth, not marketing.
Every school is different; we adapt to what works for your students, your space, and your reality. Flexible programs, not rigid packages.
We know budgets are tight. We're here to build long-term partnerships and find solutions that work for your school's financial reality.
10+ years of showing up consistently. We're not going anywhere - we're committed to being part of the community long-term.
We're new to CPS as an official vendor, but we're not new to organizing sports or working with kids in these communities.
Instead of selling you a pre-packaged program, we co-develop something that actually fits your school and serves your students.
A program designed for your students and your reality, not a one-size-fits-all package.
We work with your budget to find solutions that make sense for your school and your students.
