Our Spring soccer is in the SIMSS (Southern Illinois Middle School Soccer) league, and is open to JV (5th grade-7th grade) and Varsity (5th grade-8th grade) pending player availability. 

During the Fall we play in the SWIS (Southwest Illinois Soccer) league.

1st/2nd grade Coed
3rd/4th grade Girls
3rd/4th grade Boys
5th/6th grade Girls
5th/6th grade Boys

Did you know we played a major roll in getting soccer at SCHS?
We are now working toward soccer in Middle Schools of Southern Ill.
Salem also offers beginners and youth soccer through the City of Salem/YMCA for younger players. For more information, see here: https://www.salemil.us/recreation-department

Salem Community High School offers Girls Soccer in Spring and Boys Soccer in Fall.

SIMSS is a league where 5th-8th grade Middle School Teams compete in a league who's main purpose is to initiate a program for the Middle Schools of Southern Illinois to take over.  In this league most schools have a varsity team (usually 6th-8th grade players) and a JV team (5th-7th grade players) and play games back to back similar to High School. Many schools also have separate teams for boys and girls- Salem Soccer Association decides on whether to submit separate teams or one Coed based on players registered. 

SWIS is a traveling recreation league for soccer programs to enjoy a wider range of soccer than local recreation programs can provide.  SWIS is offered in many town starting in with 1st/2nd grade. Salem enters at least one team in each age division based on players registered.
