INDIANAPOLIS - Indy Eleven is proud to announce the three newest clubs to join the Indy Eleven Youth Soccer Program family - Circle City Futbol Club (Marion County), Danville Optimist Youth Soccer League (Hendricks County), and Jasper Youth Soccer (Dubois County).

Indy Eleven launched its grass roots Youth Soccer Program last fall, an initiative that will grow to annually support more than 15,000 young players at the recreational level across the State of Indiana.

The Indy Eleven Youth Soccer Program is designed to increase accessibility to soccer in communities and encourage players, coaches, referees, and parents to grow their passion for the sport by supporting the recreational soccer programs at member clubs.

Circle City Futbol Club (CCFC), Danville Optimist Youth Soccer League (DOYSL), and Jasper Youth Soccer have joined the program's four founding members - Westfield Youth Soccer Association (WYSA)/Indiana Fire Juniors (Hamilton County), Impact Soccer Club (Hancock County), South Central Soccer Academy (SCSA) (Johnson County), and Cutters Soccer Club (Monroe County) - with additional partners set to come on board as soccer season starts to heat back up this spring.

"Indy Eleven recognizes the importance of growing soccer at the grass roots level. Welcoming these three clubs into our Youth Soccer Program shows that commitment both locally and statewide," said Josh Mason, Indy Eleven Vice President, Marketing & Strategy. "It has been a pleasure to get to know the leadership at these three clubs, and we look forward to connecting with their players, families, and volunteers through meaningful interactions that will grow their appreciation for the sport we all love as well as Indiana's Team."

As part of the program, each registered recreational player will represent Indiana's Team by wearing variations of Indy Eleven jerseys at their respective clubs and receive tickets to an Indy Eleven match. Assistance to member clubs includes items such as technical coaching expertise via the Indy Eleven Technical Staff and Youth Development Program; access to additional educational resources for players, parents, coaches, and referees; and the creation of revenue-generating partnership opportunities. In addition, Indy Eleven will host an annual Soccer Festival with each club to bring its community together in celebration of the sport.

"The Indy Eleven Youth Soccer Program provides an expansive outlet for our players and coaches to have a real impact on the development of the sport in Indiana by lending expertise and creating real bonds with club members," said Indy Eleven Head Coach Martin Rennie. "We look forward to providing training opportunities for coaches that can ensure their teams have a more enjoyable experience in the sport, therefore encouraging players of all skill levels to enjoy the game longer."
