Bargersville, Indiana

About

South Central Soccer Academy (SCSA Eleven) is a Johnson County youth soccer organization based in Bargersville, Indiana, just south of Indianapolis. Founded in 1980 and formed from the 2008 unification of Center Grove travel programming into one academy-style club, it operates a large outdoor complex plus an indoor training building so recreational, developmental, and travel players can train across seasons.

What the club offers

Trojan Recreation covers a wide ladder from Mini Stars and Little Stars through high school coed teams, with age-group curriculum and lesson plans delivered to volunteer coaches through PlayMetrics, online schedules, and team messaging in the same app after registration. Spring recreational play follows a concentrated calendar: practice begins in early April, league games run on Saturdays with additional weekday games as needed to reach a ten-game schedule for most divisions (seven games for Little Stars), plus picture day and an end-of-season RecFest. Registration fees vary by division—for example, Little Stars is $110, Under-6 coed $135, many Under-7 through Under-10 brackets $145–$150, and most Under-11 through Under-18 brackets $150—with jerseys supplied and families providing socks, shorts, cleats, a ball, shin guards, and a water bottle.

Warriors Recreation is a satellite league based at the soccer complex behind Break-O-Day Elementary in Whiteland, led by Whiteland High School boys soccer staff with high school trainers supporting practices. It welcomes boys and girls across its offered age bands; families in Under-5 and Under-15 through Under-18 in that pathway register through Trojan Recreation so those practices and games stay on the main SCSA campus.

Travel soccer fields Under-8 through Under-18 teams, often with multiple teams per age group when numbers allow, aimed at the strongest league and tournament fit for each roster while still treating younger bands as developmental. Player evaluations for travel rosters take place each June. The club segments progression into Academy Juniors (Under-7–Under-8), Academy Seniors (Under-9–Under-10), and Travel (Under-11–Under-19) for coaching and expectations, with additional detail available through club travel resources at registration time.

TOPSoccer serves athletes with disabilities from about age four and up at no charge as a club-sponsored program, with Saturday-only sessions on the main campus field. Adult coed soccer runs as Sunday evening leagues: spring and summer outdoor turf play in an eight-a-side format, and fall and winter indoor six-a-side in the club facility, with a per-player, per-session fee of $85, roster assistance including buddy requests, and a free-agent slot on each session cap. Spring Break Camp splits Little Stars half-mornings for ages four through six ($90), half-day blocks for ages six through fourteen ($125), and full-day blocks ($185) with technical mornings and tactical small-sided work in the afternoon for full-day groups.

Facilities and location

The mailing address is 4899 W. Whiteland Road, Bargersville, Indiana. The outdoor campus spans about forty-two acres at the corner of Morgantown Road (County Road 500 W) and Whiteland Road, west of the State Road 135 and Whiteland Road intersection, with concessions, restrooms, a clubhouse, and covered shelter areas alongside multiple fields. Travel teams use the indoor facility through the winter, alongside recreational and targeted development programming.

Mission, community, and governance

The mission is to provide a safe, fun, and competitive setting where children grow a lasting love of soccer with emphasis on community, inclusion, and player development. The vision stresses life skills—teamwork, communication, confidence, and self-worth—learned through the game, supported by volunteer opportunities, local business partnerships, and alignment with Indiana Soccer initiatives. Parents and guardians commit to a written spectator code that reinforces positive cheering, respect for opponents and officials, and letting coaches coach. Nationally recognized youth tournaments each June and October draw large numbers of visiting players and families, underscoring the club’s regional draw.
