SoDak Spurs Soccer Club is a Brookings, South Dakota youth soccer organization that blends introductory Grassroots play, a year-round competitive track for players who want a higher training load, and Super Spurs, a TOPSoccer-style adaptive program for young athletes with intellectual, emotional, or physical disabilities. The club ties outdoor work to Fishback Soccer Complex and winter technical work to Fishback Indoor Training Facility, and it hosts multiple home tournaments plus the annual Fishback Classic showcase window.
Grassroots Soccer targets boys and girls roughly ages 5 through 12 with small-sided 4v4 and 5v5 games on Saturdays after one weekly practice. The 2026 spring Grassroots season runs Monday, April 13 through Wednesday, May 21 for birth years 2014–2021, with all trainings and Saturday games at Fishback Soccer Complex; registration is $90 per player, and coed age groups form only when registrations are too low to split genders. Scholarship requests go to execdir@sodakspurs.com. Grassroots parent-coaches receive guidance from Director of Coaching Paul O’Brien, who holds United States Soccer Federation Academy Director, National A, B, and C licenses plus United Soccer Coaches Premier and Goalkeeper Level I and II diplomas. Spring, fall (August through October), and winter indoor (December through January) sessions give families a split-season rhythm.
The competitive program serves ages 8–18 with outdoor seasons in fall, spring, and summer and indoor blocks through winter. U9–U13 teams run August through late June; U14–U19 teams run October through late June. Seven-a-side teams train at least twice per week; nine-a-side and eleven-a-side teams train at least three times per week. Licensed head coaches build season calendars with the club director of coaching that can include local league games, South Dakota State Cup, in-state and out-of-state tournaments, and indoor events. Indoor soccer is built into the year-round plan to sharpen technique and decision-making. Players receive periodic evaluations and are encouraged to own their development; the competitive pathway aims to prepare athletes for high school, ODP, and college opportunities where that fits their goals.
Super Spurs (TOPSoccer) welcomes children ages 4–10 who benefit from adaptive soccer. A winter block has used Bethel Baptist on Monday evenings with a nominal fee that includes a T-shirt; scholarships are available on request through execdir@sodakspurs.com.
Outdoor training and Grassroots games use Fishback Soccer Complex at 1100 20th Street South, Brookings, SD 57006. Indoor training uses Fishback Indoor Training Facility at 3105 Main Avenue South, Brookings, SD 57006. Competitive families also receive discounted rental access to the indoor facility and membership perks at Goal Kick Soccer for uniform fittings and kit orders.
For the 2025–2026 competitive cycle, registration is $485 for U9–U10 (August through late June), $600 for U11–U14 and any U15 not playing high school soccer (August through late June), and $535 for U15–U19 (October through late June). Full payment at registration is accepted, and monthly payment plans are available, along with partial-season options for multi-sport athletes who communicate availability through TeamSnap. Tournament entry is billed separately; many local events run about $75, many regional events about $100, and some higher-level regional events can exceed $100. Competitive players order a required kit bundle (home and away match tops, shorts, socks, practice jersey) typically between $170 and $200, with uniform cycles lasting two seasons beginning 2025–2026.
The club hosts four Brookings-based tournaments as part of its home calendar—one outdoor spring event and three indoor events split by age and gender bands for U9–U12 festivals and older boys and girls groups. Travel mixes local stops such as Brookings, Sioux Falls, Watertown, Yankton, Aberdeen, Mitchell, and Sioux City with regional hubs including Rapid City, Minneapolis, Omaha, Kansas City, Des Moines, and Fargo depending on age group. The 2026 Fishback Classic is scheduled May 29–31 at Fishback Soccer Complex for U9–U19 teams with tiered team entry fees; registration closes May 15, 2026 through HTG Sports online entry for that tournament.
The club’s mission is to inspire players and coaches to reach their highest potential by providing strong soccer environments, opportunities, and pathways while fostering lifelong love of the game. Grassroots programming stresses fun, respect, development over trophies, and alignment with U.S. Soccer-style player development ideas. Competitive programming uses a club game model and “we have the ball / they have the ball” problem-solving language so players learn to read both attacking and defending moments. Every competitive family participates in a volunteer-point system outlined in the agreement submitted with a deposit to the team manager before the first training session.
Interested competitive families email dircoaching@sodakspurs.com. Sponsorship questions and executive-level issues go to execdir@sodakspurs.com, the same address for scholarships and payment-plan questions. Mid-season competitive additions also route through the director of coaching email. Each Grassroots and Super Spurs season opens with online registration when the club turns enrollment on for that program. Once rostered, competitive teams use TeamSnap for schedules, availability, and roster contacts.
