Youth Indoor Soccer League

Soccer Skills Programs

Lacrosse Skills Programs

We are excited to partner with Gilbert Lacrosse to bring introductory lacrosse skills training for youth players! Intro to Lacrosse is returning in June at Cactus Yards. We will also offer FLEX6 Lacrosse to enhance your play using the FLEX6 style of games. No equipment is required! Sign up for our emails for program updates.

Team Selection 

Youth Indoor Soccer League participants select their team at time of registration. Team selection will determine practice time. A "No Preference" option is available; parents who chose "No Preference" will be emailed team placement and game schedules prior to the start of the season. We are unable to accept special requests for team placement. Family and friends wishing to play together should register at the same time and select the same team during registration. For liability reasons, we are unable to allow players to play up or down from their age group. We appreciate your understanding.

Does my child need soccer cleats?

Soccer cleats are not permitted on the indoor turf. Closed-toe turf shoes or running shoes are allowed.

When are tryouts for the league?

The Youth Indoor Soccer League is a recreational program aimed at player development, team building, and most of all having fun! There are no tryouts, player standings, or score keeping. Participants pick their team at time of registration.
