Arlington County Youth Indoor Soccer

Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation is excited to announce the return of the Youth Indoor Soccer League for the Winter 2024 season for grades 5-12. All games will be played in the Gunston Tent, and the league will consist of games only, no practices. Games will begin December 16th and run through mid-February. Players of all abilities can play in this program. Teams will be coached by parents or community volunteers. The youth indoor Soccer program is for children who live or attend school in Arlington County.

Registration will open on Monday, September 11th for grades 5-12 with a registration fee of TBA per player. To guarantee participation, avoid late fees and the waitlist, please register prior to the November 5th, 11:59 p.m. deadline.

FEES

Income-based fee reductions are available to qualified individuals for all Arlington County programs. Children who receive reduced lunch pay 50% of the soccer registration fee; children who receive free lunch pay 25%. Children eligible for fee reductions can register online, but please do NOT complete the payment section and contact your league manager to make payment arrangements at the discounted rate. Individuals requesting fee reductions also may register in person at the Arlington Sports Office, or via mail. You can find more information about fee reductions here.

Refund Policy: There will be a $20 cancellation fee for all refunds.

Note: Our credit card processor adds a 2.5% surcharge to all credit card payments. Arlington County does not receive any portion of this fee. Debit cards are processed as credit cards and incur the 2.5% fee. A $20 cancellation fee will be subtracted from cancellation refunds.

Rosters

Players rostered on Travel Soccer Teams are eligible to participate in the Arlington Indoor Soccer League program, but each team will be limited to a maximum of two (2).
Players are not allowed to “play-up;” they must play with their current grade.
Team rosters are limited to a maximum of 12 and a minimum of 8 players in the 5th-12th grade leagues.

Commissioners will assign additional players and make every effort to ensure each roster has preferably the maximum and at least the minimum number of players, to promote competitive fairness.

Volunteer Coaches

Volunteer Coaches are critical to the success of our programs. We simply would not be able to operate our youth sport leagues such as the Youth Indoor Soccer League without the help of parents, family members, friends, and community leaders who volunteer their time to promote youth sports in Arlington.

The only way to ensure your child’s team has a volunteer coach is to have someone volunteer specifically for your child’s team. Find a trusted adult (ex. Family member, pastor, community leader, teacher), or have a high school aged minor along with a trusted adult coach your team. Each team needs 2-3 volunteers. DPR will provide support and give resources to new coaches. Prospective volunteer coaches do not need to have any prior coaching experience. It is a time commitment of about 2-3 hours per week.

Concussion Awareness

To help ensure the health and safety of young athletes, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) developed the Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports initiative to offer information about concussions to coaches, parents, and athletes involved in youth sports. The Heads Up initiative provides important information on preventing, recognizing, and responding to a concussion. We suggest that parents take this opportunity to educate themselves on the symptoms of concussions and the appropriate way to monitor them. You will be surprised as to how many signs there are that most take for granted or simply miss. Click HERE for more helpful information.
