5-a-side games played to official Futsal court lines. The game requires players to be skilled on the ball, quick of feet and mind. The action is fast-paced, goals are numerous, and creativity is rewarded throughout the match.

All courts are premium artificial turf and are designed specifically for safe indoor soccer play.

Divisions will be offered for Advanced and Intermediate play in all age groups.
Advanced Divisions are designed to serve the highest level of play. Players from SOCA travel programs as well as surrounding area travel programs are encouraged to form teams and participate in the league.
Intermediate Divisions are meant to serve players from SOCA’s Challenge or Recreational programs. It may also feature players from surrounding school programs or other players from similar levels of play. Players may register as part of a group or individually.
Depending on registration numbers, there is no guarantee that teams can be formed in each age group to create divisions in this manner. SOCA will attempt to create equitable divisions and help find appropriate team placements for individual players when initially forming the league.
Players register individually through their personal SOCA accounts.
Players are encouraged to form teams and make special requests to be with other players or a particular team facilitator. To make a special request, enter a short request into the text box provided under the player’s name on the final page of the registration process (where payment information is entered). Ex: “U10 Team Barca”, “Coach David”, or “team with Amy Johnson.”
You may also contact the program director prior to the registration deadline with team player lists so that we may assign players correctly after the registration deadline.
All teams must have an adult facilitator to manage the team.
Team Roster maximum limit is 10 players.
Independent players will be placed on teams as roster space allows. No spots are guaranteed to those who register after the registration deadline.
As with all SOCA programs, the option to “play up” only appears if you have selected this option in your player’s personal information within your SOCA account.
The Winter Indoor Soccer League is designed to be a “player driven” program. This simply means that players are encouraged to make the majority of decisions during the course of the season. Teams do not have coaches, rather an adult facilitator simply manages the team. Matches will be officiated by certified referees.
Unlike the more traditional soccer programs, WISL is designed to emulate a more “free play” or “pick-up” style soccer experience. Creativity is emphasized and player decision making is paramount. The indoor field constraints and fast-paced play naturally inspires this approach. Players who embrace this play develop the necessary technical foot skills required to be successful in this environment.
All teams are to have an adult team facilitator with them for every match. The facilitator presence is mostly to help facilitate safe play and appropriate playing time for all players on the team. Team formations and general playing decisions should be done in conjunction with the players. Coaching should be limited specifically to encourage players to learn from the game and to adapt to the challenges it presents. In the WISL program the game itself is the teacher.
Parking is allowed in parking lots on both sides of the building as well as community streets.
Parking is prohibited in alleys, behind homes, in front of garages, or on the inside of the Village Greene oval.
Drive slowly and carefully at all times. 15 MPH.
Carpooling and player drop off is encouraged.
