What does Micro League Soccer have to offer? Micro League Soccer is focused on player development. We strive to create a learning-focused experience by eliminating the "must win" stress placed on the player and team and teaching individual skills. The Chicago Fire has a Player Development system with five levels which follow a curriculum of developing creative and confident soccer players throughout each stage (Micro League Soccer, Chicago Fire Juniors travel teams, Chicago Fire Academy, Chicago Fire Super 20s/ PDL, Chicago Fire). Micro League Soccer is an important stage as it is the foundation from where the player grows. Micro League Soccer prepares the player for CFJ training and begins the process of tooling the player with the skills necessary for success in competition. How many seasons are offered?
