About USAi Recreation Soccer

United Soccer Alliance of Indiana offers Recreational Soccer for boys and girls from 4 years to 18 years old.  Participants can either play in the USAi Pike Rec and Rec Plus Program or USAi Brownsburg/Avon Rec and Rec Plus Program. New or developing Rec League players learn basic soccer skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship.  Fun and soccer skill development are the goals.  Competition is not.  Each player plays a minimum of one half of each game.  Scores, team and league standings are not kept, and all players receive a participation trophy or medal at the end of each season.  US Youth Soccer, National Soccer Coaches Association of America, Indiana Youth Soccer Association, and USAi  believe Rec Soccer players learn best, and have more fun, playing small sided game format of 3 v 3 or 4 v 4.  It is widely accepted young players need to develop techniques before being taught tactics.  The best way to teach soccer skills and techniques is having children play soccer!  Pike Soccer Club moved to small sided format many years ago. Format of play for Soccer Tots is each session ends with 3 v 3 games; U5 and U6 play two 3 v 3 games at the same time on dual fields, U7 and U8 play two 4 v 4 games at the same time on dual fields, U12 plays 8 v 8 games, U13-U14 play 11 v 11 in a Rec Plus league. High School Rec U15-U18 plays 11 v 11 in the Spring and 6 v 6 in the Fall. Please see rules of play.  All coaches and volunteers complete a criminal back ground check and coaches complete a coaching certification course.

In Indiana, “soccer age” is determined by the player’s age on August 1.  This is the age group at which the child will play for the entire seasonal year (fall to spring seasons).  For example, if a player is 7 on August 1, he plays in “Under 8.” Even though the player has a birthday during the season, the player continues to play on an “U-8″ team through the following spring.
