What Does the Valpo Soccer Club Offer?
Many players come to the Valpo Soccer Club with some Recreational soccer experience often found in the soccer programs through the Valparaiso Parks Department, YMCA, Boys and Girls Club Teams, and others.
Our Recreation + Travel Level competition level within the Northwest Indiana Soccer League (NWISL). Players at this level are typically progressing from playing Recreational Soccer. Our program is designed for those looking for more of a competitive level of play with a coordinated training and development program and opportunities to advance to teams with higher levels of play within The Region.
Our Recreational + Travel Team (Ages 6-19) are coached by volunteer coaches, who are commonly players' parents that have knowledge of the game to coach the teams. At the same time, we develop our Volunteer Coaching Staff by offering coaching classes and seminars and encourage their development to obtain coaching licenses and other certifications recognized by the United States Soccer Federation. We provide our Volunteer Coaches with professionally developed curriculum to help our players and teams develop and progress in the sport of soccer.
All Volunteer Coaches are required to:
- Pass a Background Check Prior to Each Season; and
- Attend a Certified Concussion Awareness Certification Course every 2 years.
- Complete the online SafeSport training, which includes sexual misconduct awareness, emotional and physical misconduct, and mandatory reporting.
