We are happy to offer the Youth Indoor Soccer League during the winter season! We lay down 2 indoor synthetic turf fields over the arena floor inside the Adventist HealthCare Fieldhouse. This larger field instead of the traditional boarded fields allows for a more realistic game of soccer. We offer divisions for youth 9U – HS and you can choose between recreational and competitive levels of play! The league always has the right to combine divisions and age groups.

The indoor fields are 200 feet (67 yards long) by 85 feet (29 yards long) and do not have boards.

Cost is $900 per session for 7 games. This includes game field rental, referee and schedule creation.

Referee Abuse and Zero Tolerance:

As we continue to fight against poor sideline behavior by both coaches and parents towards referees of all levels, we are implementing a new standard. The referee will be assessing the coaches, the teams and spectator behavior during the game and will give it a score of 1 to 4. 1 – Good, 2 – Acceptable, 3 – Borderline, 4 – Poor

If any team/coach receives 4-Poor it is an automatic 1 game ban to the coach. If the team/coach receives two borderline scores it is a automatic 1 game ban. If this pattern continues the ban increases to 3 games and then banned for the season

Spectator/Coach Behavior (IMPORTANT)

There is a new policy in Maryland (full details below), effective 8/1/2023, empowering referees to sanction coaches for poor spectator behavior. This applies to all YOUTH games under the jurisdiction of the Maryland State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA).

The process to be used to carry out this authorization is as follows:

The sanction for irresponsible behavior by a spectator will be administered to the senior team coach present in accordance with Law 12, Disciplinary Action, Team Officials.

Some examples below.

Warning

1) Ignoring a request from an AR to move away from the touchline.

2) Non-exaggerated disagreement about referee or AR decisions

Caution (Yellow card)

1) Clear or continual disagreement or complaining about referee or AR decisions

2) Gesturing or verbal demand for yellow or red card

3) Acting in a provocative or inflammatory manner

Sending-Off (Red card)

1) Confronting the other team’s spectators

2) Throwing or kicking an object onto the field

3) Offensive, Insulting or Abusive language or actions

4) Violent Conduct

5) Physical or aggressive behavior including spitting

6) IF A SENDING-OFF OFFENSE BY A SPECTATOR OCCURS AFTER THE GAME ENDS, THE SENIOR COACH PRESENT MAY STILL BE SANCTIONED

Don’t be the spectator that gets your coach carded or sent off!!
