Vigo County Youth Soccer Association

What ages and program levels does the club offer?Kiddie Kicks serves the youngest players in a parent-friendly intro format. Recreation covers roughly U5 through U15 with no tryouts. A coed high school recreational league runs for grades 9–12. Academy focuses on about U9–U10 as a structured step before travel. Travel through Terre Haute Premier serves about U11 through U19 with tryouts for placement. TOPSOCCER is available for players who need adapted programming. Age groups are confirmed during GotSport registration each season.

Where does the club train or play?Home games and practices for VCYSA programs are centered at Springhill Soccer Complex, 990 West Springhill Drive, Terre Haute, Indiana. Academy and travel league matches with ISL opponents are usually within about a ninety-minute drive, with fall travel tournaments often in the Indianapolis area and a spring home tournament weekend at the club’s fields.

When are tryouts or registration?Soccer is built around spring and fall seasons with eight-week recreation cycles. Recreation and Kiddie Kicks enroll without tryouts whenever registration is open in GotSport. Academy and travel use seasonal tryouts to place players; tryouts are free, and players who must miss a scheduled session can still register for tryouts and coordinate an evaluation or free practice through the Director of Coaching at doc@vcysa.org.

What do tryouts or registration cost?Academy and travel tryouts cost nothing. Kiddie Kicks is $95 per season. Recreation and high school recreational league registration are $125 per season at regular pricing. Academy is $400 per year. Full-year travel is $600 for U11–U12, $660 for U13–U15, and high school spring-only travel is $385.

What does a season or year of club soccer cost?Recreation and high school rec families budget $125 per season plus cleats and shin guards; jerseys and socks are included with signup. Academy’s $400 annual fee covers training, ISL games across two seasons, and one tournament per season; optional extra tournaments are commonly about $70 per event when offered. Travel’s annual fee covers training, ISL play, two seasons for youth teams, and about one tournament per season, with optional extras often near $50–$80 per player when teams add events. Academy and travel uniform kits renew roughly every two years at about $275 for training and match sets, with optional warm-ups or bags. Payment plans exist for academy and travel, and need-based aid can lower club fees after families complete the assistance process and pay the required deposit.

What is the club’s mission, philosophy, or coaching approach?VCYSA exists to grow appreciation for soccer and give every child a strong experience on and off the field. Coaches emphasize developmentally appropriate, game-based sessions; academy balances fair time with competition, while travel still prioritizes growth even as playing time reflects effort and attendance. SafeSport training and background checks apply to all coaches and volunteers, and the club expects respectful sidelines aligned with its code of conduct.
