PCYSA is the 12th Club Across the Hoosier State Supported by Eleven’s Growing Grass Roots Soccer Initiative
Indy Eleven today welcomed Putnam County Youth Soccer Association as the newest member of the Indy Eleven Youth Soccer Program.
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.
Putnam County YSA is now the 12th club to join Indy Eleven’s grass roots initiative that will continue to grow annually and support more than 15,000 young players at the recreational level across the State of Indiana.
“Indy Eleven is proud to welcome Putnam County YSA into our growing family of Youth Soccer Partner club members,” said Greg Stremlaw, Indy Eleven President and Chief Executive Officer. “Growing our footprint across Indiana and investing in the game at all levels continue to be major focuses for Indy Eleven in 2023, so we thank the PCYSA membership for helping the club expand the reach of the Youth Soccer Program into West Central Indiana.”
PCYSA currently serves more than 500 youth players and their families by offering both recreational and competitive travel soccer programs via a safe, supportive and competitive environment designed to make every player the best that they can be, no matter their ability or experience. To this end, the club’s travel coaches hold US Soccer coaching licenses, and Rec Program coaches are encouraged and supported to obtain US Soccer Grassroots Certification.
