As the FIFA World Cup continues, park district officials have said interest in soccer programming has remained strong as excitement for the game grows in the United States.
Park districts have seen excitement around soccer as the World Cup is underway. Officials at Roma Sports Club, in Frankfort, said the soccer program has been growing mainly because COVID-19 restrictions are lifted but because of excitement around the World Cup.
“We’ve been strong on the soccer side since we opened,” McCauley said. “I’m sure the FIFA World Cup is getting people more excited about the sport.”Steve Rotondi, facility owner and Roma FC executive director, said the fall tryouts had the most participation the club has seen. He attributes the record numbers to the growing popularity of soccer in the U.S. and to parents looking for new activities for their children after being cooped up during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chicago Heights Park District Superintendent Shari Demitrowicz said the park district offers sports and programs to a diverse population that enjoys playing and watching soccer. “Since the world soccer tournament is on going we’ve definitely seen some great representation and excitement,” Demitrowicz said.In Tinley Park, the park district started a recreational soccer league seven years ago and an indoor soccer league four years ago, said athletic supervisor Ronald Woodworth. Interest in both programs has increased each year, he said.Woodworth said soccer has been a strong suit since the park district began offering programs.
