Welcome to Arena Sports Youth Leagues: A Leader in Indoor Soccer for Almost Three Decades!

For more than 25 years, Arena Sports has proudly established itself as the leading provider of indoor youth soccer leagues across the greater Seattle area. With five facilities in Issaquah, Redmond, Magnuson, Mill Creek, and Seattle (Magnuson & SODO), we cater to players of all skill levels, from newcomers eager to learn the fundamentals to seasoned athletes looking for competitive play. Our youth leagues foster teamwork, enjoyment, and a passion for the game in an exciting atmosphere.

Indoor youth soccer has gained immense popularity as a dynamic alternative to traditional outdoor play. With its smaller field size and fast-paced format, youth leagues encourages continuous involvement and quick decision-making, making it a favorite among kids of all ages 5-18 (U6 – U18). Whether you’re an individual looking to join a team or part of a current team, indoor soccer underscores the joy of teamwork and sportsmanship — plus it’s only an hour a week!

Respect the Ref

At Arena Sports, our goal is to promote a fun, soccer-loving community. Confronting and verbally abusing referees can often lead to cards, which is no fun for anyone. It’s not realistic to expect a referee to call a perfect match — just like it’s not realistic to expect that players will PLAY a perfect match. Send your feedback through our referee evaluation form — positive comments are welcome too!

Questions about Youth Leagues at Arena Sports? We’ve got answers!

The primary difference between indoor and outdoor soccer lies in the format and playing environment. Indoor soccer typically takes place on a smaller, enclosed field with artificial turf and boards. In contrast, outdoor soccer is played on larger grass or natural turf fields, offering players ample space to maneuver and strategize over a longer duration.

Gameplay dynamics also differ significantly; indoor matches feature fewer players on each team, often resulting in a higher scoring frequency and constant engagement with the ball. This setup requires quick decision-making and sharp reflexes, as the smaller playing area offers minimal time and space for plays to develop. Conversely, outdoor soccer promotes a more traditional, strategic buildup, allowing for varied formations and plays over the course of a longer match.

Additionally, the rules and regulations can vary, particularly regarding substitutions, penalties, and kick-ins, further distinguishing the two formats. Overall, each style of soccer presents unique benefits and challenges, catering to a diverse array of player preferences and skill development opportunities.

The field size fosters quicker decision-making, enabling players to develop their spatial awareness and improve their tactical understanding of the game. With a faster-paced format, athletes are exposed to a greater number of touches on the ball during each match, which directly contributes to refining their dribbling, passing, and shooting techniques. Moreover, the close quarters of indoor play encourage better communication and teamwork, helping players learn essential collaboration skills vital for success on and off the field.

We offer 3 youth league sessions a year (Winter I, Winter II and Spring) that break down into approximately 8-10 week cycles.

There is typically a one or two week grace period after the season start date where a team can join the season. We will accommodate your schedule of games accordingly, which may result in some double-headers.
