Our Director of Development is Dutch Vigar, the New Albany High School boys coach. He brings a lifetime of soccer experience in his direction of the club's coaching and player development. Our close affiliation with the coaches from Southern Indiana High Schools enables us to tailor our development to produce players capable of playing on high school teams and beyond. All of our coaches either hold or are pursuing IYS coaching licenses.

Tryouts are held at the end of the season after June 1st. The coaches decide player selection for each team. Players will be placed on teams in their age level based on their soccer skills. Moving players from one team to another, or playing up in age, will be viewed as the exception to the rule, and will require the approval of the Director of Coaching, the VP-Select and player’s parents. Any player placement issues should be addressed with the VP-Select. After each team is selected, every player that tried out will be contacted, at which time the necessary forms must be completed and payment submitted to the post office box.

So whether you are just playing for fun and exercise or you want to be in the feeder program for Southern Indiana high school soccer programs, come and join us!
