WHY CHOOSE JR. IRISH?

 

Since 1977, the Jr. Irish Soccer Club has consistently provided the best soccer experience for area youths.  Our coaching staff is recognized as the best in the area and is affiliated with the University of Notre Dame, St. Mary’s College, Bethel College, most area high schools, and Indiana Youth Soccer’s Olympic Development Program. Our teams and players have won numerous state championships, played on many of the state Olympic Development teams and have or are playing at many universities and colleges.  Unlike other area clubs with parent coaches or trainers assigned to multiple teams, Jr. Irish Soccer Club assigns a professional coach to every team insuring players receive the attention they deserve.  Our soccer playing complex is second to none.  Jr. Irish hosts one of the biggest and widely respected tournaments in the Midwest.

 

In season, our U10-U18 teams offer 2-3 training sessions per week.  November through March each team is allocated 1-2 training times peer week in our environmentally conditioned sports-turf indoor training facility.

 

Whether playing at the NISL or the MRL, your child will be provided the opportunity to improve his/her individual and team skills.  Our mission is to provide the best playing and learning environment for all of our players.  Jr. Irish Soccer is committed to provide the competitive league environment that will challenge all players’ abilities at any level.
