Have Questions?

What if my child has never played soccer before?

No problem! Our programs are designed for all experience levels. We focus on fun and learning, so every child can thrive at their own pace.

Is it too late to join a team?

Soccer has 2 main seasons: Fall and Spring. Right now we are taking travel tryout registrations (learn more here) and early enrollment for the fall season has started. Learn more by checking out the programs available for your family here. 

What if my child gets hurt?

Safety is our priority. We have trained coaches and proper protocols in place to ensure a safe playing environment for all participants.

We are thinking about travel but unsure if it is a good fit, what should we do?

If your child would like to play travel but isn't sure if it is right for them we encourage you to come out to an academy (U8, U9, U10) or travel (U11-U19) practice or register for tryouts. Tryouts are free and our priority is placing children who are a good fit. 

I have another question!

No problem, we would love to hear from you. You can contact our Director of Soccer Operations, Melissa, at melissa@vcysa.org and she will help support you. 

Each year, Vigo County Youth Soccer Association (VCYSA) and Terre Haute Premier bring thousands of families together through the love of soccer. Our programs not only help kids develop confidence, teamwork, and leadership, but they also have a lasting impact on our local community.

✔  Over 1,300 local players & 200 travel athletes participate annually
✔  Our Midwest Soccer Classic Tournament welcomes 2,000+ visitors, driving tourism and supporting local businesses
✔  We foster a positive, community-driven sports environment where kids grow both on and off the field
