Like many clubs in the Suburbs of Chicago and the U.S., Team Elmhurst Soccer Club was formed in the 1980's with 4 teams after the rise of the North American Soccer League and popular professional team Chicago Sting that attracted oversees soccer players and awareness to the game of soccer.

In 2000, Team Elmhurst Soccer Club had grown to 26 competitive travel soccer teams (Boys & Girls) and made the decision of employing a full-time Director of Coaching and full-time professional coaching staff to re-structure the club and position it for the future.

Since this date, the "New" Team Elmhurst Soccer Club has made giant strides in providing the community and its players with a professional coaching environment. This has been reflected by the growing number of players and the level of Select, Premier and Travel teams representing the club within the Northern Illinois Soccer League (Boys & Girls) & Illinois Women's Soccer League (Girls) soccer leagues. Currently in 2008, we have 28 travel soccer teams.
