Our fall season registration fee is $170 for players U5 to U8 and $190 for players U10 and older.
Your child must turn 4 in 2023, per our insurance requirements. Our U5 division is for players born in 2019.
The U designation is mainly an administrative designation for leagues and organizing age groups. Parents should focus on the birth year their child is born in as they will play with other children born in the same birth year or in groups organized in two year sets also an adjacent birth year.
Practices will be held for one and a quarter hour one night a week. Team practices are conducted Mon-Thur between 5 PM and 8PM.
The majority of games are scheduled on weekends, however due to volume at Grand Park we do schedule midweek matches in particular during the spring and for tournament age groups (U10 and up). Most matches are played on Saturdays but in more condensed seasons such as the spring we do have to run more Sunday afternoon matches.
You may list the friend’s name on your registration. Although we will try to honor these requests, we cannot make any promises, especially if several players are asking to play together.
The mission of Recreational Soccer is to learn to play the game and have fun. While many games can be competitive, our volunteer commissioners make every effort to create rosters of teams that will be evenly matched on the field. Nobody has fun when one team is crushing the other. (If you take joy in that, please don’t admit it.)
Send an email to jgriffin@indianafirejuniors.com. If you withdraw before July 20 for Fall and March 10 for spring, we can refund all but $30 of your original payment. After July 20/March 10, the commissioners begin working on their rosters, so we must have a full commitment.
Our younger children from U5 to U8 will receive a medal for participating in the season. Players in the U9/10 through U19 divisions participate in an end-of season tournament, with medals for the age group champions and finalists.
Our U5, U6, U13/14, and U19 groups are coed. The other age groups are single sex.
These decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to our director of coaching, John Griffin, at jgriffin@indyelevenacademy.com if you would like to discuss this.
YES! Our program exists because of our wonderful parent coaches. If you would like to coach, please indicate your interest on your child’s registration and fill out the coaching registration form available on the main rec page. We do limit coaches to two teams, so if you have more than two players, definitely suggest that you’ll coach the ones who do the most chores 😏.
