It's open almost every day of the week which is great. It's in this weird little basement which is awesome and hilarious, very Chicago. I've been a few times now and for the most part people are welcoming. The owner Ardy is pretty hard-core with the rules, but is known to be a good teacher. Text message Ardy at 312 287 9852 earlier in the day you want to come by and then call that number when you get there and they'll let you in. It's $10 each time you come, but you can play all night (6-10 pm) if there is a free table and someone to play you. There are usually 5-8 people there each night (in my limited experience).

Well despite being pretty much the only one around this facility is pretty new, very clean, and has top notch referees. There's four fields and they have several leagues that vary in skill level. Whether you want to play competitively or just learn the game and get some exercise I'd definitely recommend CFA for some good old fashion fun.

They set up a huge bouncy house for that was really the star of the show. The kiddos had some much fun climbing and jumping around on there. The indoor fields were also open for us to run around on. Most of the kids were still pretty little, but they really enjoyed running around and kicking the balls. We would love to bring our son back here for lessons once he's a little bit older, but for now it's an A+ birthday party destination!

The coaches were great, they organized the activities for the kids and were able to change things up depending on the mood of the crowd. Shout out to Coach Jeremy who did a great job involving the kids who's ages varied from 2 to 15. Even the parents got in on the fun. A great value for a birthday party and it is MUCH more interactive than bouncy house places. Highly recommended!

If you have more time and and you're into Chicago baseball, this place will put you right in the area of all the action. Our visit was strictly soccer though, and while the team did not disappoint, the field that they played on had a bit of a grade on the east side goal and my daughter said that there was a buried underwire that that tripped people up every so often when they were near the goal box. The turf was super hairy, make sure that you plan on brushing yourself off after the game. We didn't visit the restaurant that's attached to this facility, but it seemed like a restaurant that had a lot of different options for all kind of game and beer drinkers. The Chicago Fire sponsors this field and so you can get all type of Chicago fire attire. That's your jam. It's great to see pro sports sponsoring these type of fields so that kids have opportunity for League games in their city community. There are indoor bathrooms on site which is a pro when it comes to an outdoor soccer game.

The fields are always in great shape -- the turf is well maintained, the lines are clear, and the layout makes it easy to watch multiple games without feeling crowded. Even during busy league nights, everything feels organized and professional. One thing I really appreciate is the parking. There's plenty of it, which makes showing up for games stress-free. No scrambling for a spot or walking far with your bag after a long match. The food is another underrated part of the experience. For a sports complex, the menu is actually solid. It's a great spot to grab something after a game and hang out with teammates. The overall atmosphere feels welcoming and community-focused, which is probably why I've kept coming back year after year. If you're looking for quality fields, easy parking, and a good post-game vibe, this place delivers.

My kids told me that the instructors do wipe down the equipment after each student's activities and always everyone is required to wear a mask. This facility does offer some sort of streaming app called SpotTV, which is a bit difficult to get the app to register and properly work all the time but once everything is working properly, you are able to see your kids activities online. Parking is limited in their private lot and there are metered parking outside.
