About the Indoor Soccer League Program
Indoor Soccer is open to children who are in 1st - 5h grade in the 2011-2012 school year. Separate leagues are created for boys and girls soccer. Teams will play 7 games. Kindergarteners may also enroll, however they will be assigned to 1st grade teams.
Playing Indoor Soccer is a great way for kids to develop their social and mental skills, physical strength, and character while learning how to play soccer. Teamwork and active participation are key components.
Every child plays - there are no tryouts or cuts.

Team Formation
Team rosters are limited to 12 players per team.
Team size may be larger if the team's coach requests a greater number of players.
Players will be notified of their team assignment via phone from the head coach. Players who have not heard from a coach should contact Red & Ed office at 734-994-2300 ext. 53214.
Participants are assigned to school teams based on their public school attendance areas. Consult our registration timeline and procedures chart for detailed registration information.
In case of limited space, participants may be assigned to teams with participants from different attendance areas.
If two teams are formed for the same grade from the same school, coaches and Rec & Ed staff will assign players to teams in accordance with departmental guidelines to ensure equally-balanced teams.
Combo Teams
It is common for “combo” teams, or teams with participants from two or more different schools to be formed. If your child’s school has filled its primary team roster, a combo team will be formed. Earlier registrants will be placed on the primary school team first.
Special Requests
If you have any special requests you would like us to consider, for example, to have your child assigned with a specific coach or teammate, you must fill out the Special Request section when registering online or on the registration form. We cannot honor special requests placed after the priority registration period.
Charter, Parochial, Private, and Out-of-District Public Schools
Charter, parochial, private, and out-of-district public school teams can be formed if all grade requirements standards are satisfied and registration deadlines met. Registration must be open for all students that attend these schools. We require a minimum of nine (9) players be registered for a team to be formed.
