House West is Born
Chicago, Illinois (January 22, 2025) - Chicago House Athletic Club announced today that its Youth Academy, including the Junior Academy and Club Academy, will expand to the Tri-Cities area in April 2025 with “House West.”
In partnership with the Batavia Park District, Chicago House AC will host the Youth Academy at Prairie Path Park (PPP) at Rotolo Middle School. PPP will host all home games and training for the West Junior Academy and Club Academy.
Building upon the organization's core values—inclusivity, integrity, teamwork, and passion—House West will provide high-quality soccer instruction—and values that extend beyond the game.
“We are excited to bring our Youth Academies to the Batavia area,” said House Youth Academy Director Manny Mireles. “There are many great clubs in the Tri-Cities area. I am excited to see the growth opportunities within House starting with our Junior Academy, all the way up to our Senior programs.”
House West Youth Academy is sponsored by Tech QBD, Fruit Street Health, and Diaza, along with community partners Fox Valley Orthopedics, Marvin’s Barbershop, and ExP Realty (Stephanie Hawkinson).
