INDIANAPOLIS (Thursday, March 14, 2024) – Indy Eleven today welcomed its first partner of the 2024 season as part of the Indy Eleven Club Affiliate Program with the announcement of first-time member Monrovia Youth Soccer League.
Indiana’s team is once again proud to sponsor the Indy Eleven Club Affiliate Program, a grass roots initiative growing accessibility to the sport across Indiana, and beyond, by supporting recreational soccer programs at partnering youth soccer clubs.
“We’re excited to continue Indy Eleven’s Club Affiliate Program and are eager to welcome our newest club partner in Monrovia Youth Soccer League,” Indy Eleven President & CEO Greg Stremlaw said. “The opportunities provided in the partnership will help us introduce soccer to a new generation within the community, and hopefully create lifelong fans of the game and Indiana’s team.”
To date, the program has supported more than 17,000 recreational-level players from 20 partner programs across the Hoosier State and into Illinois.
“MYSL is excited to partner with Indy Eleven as part of its Club Affiliate Program,” said Monrovia Youth Soccer League President Heather Kistler. “Our high school has a girls and boys soccer team, but nothing for middle or elementary students. MYSL has helped fill that gap to allow kids to learn about soccer, find out what it’s like to be part of a team and to have fun. Partnering with Indy Eleven brings our soccer club to the next level by adding a professional aspect and providing more for the kids, including better equipment, and training for our referees and volunteer coaches. We also couldn’t be more excited about Indy Eleven bringing a soccer camp to Monrovia for the kids this summer!”
