Soccer is one of those sports that kids can start practically as soon as they take their first steps. What starts with just kicking a ball in the backyard can turn in to some serious competition that children all over the world have grown to love.
In fact, here in Central Indiana you can get your soccer fix by attending an Indy Eleven soccer game, kicking off April 1st.
The 2014 FIFA World Cup will take place in Brazil this summer, and here is the…

I love sharing ways to spend less, so families can do more! My passions are cooking, late night TV and being amused by my witty husband and three kids.
I only played when I was little, but I have some cousins that are great
I played soccer when I was younger and loved it! It was probably my favorite sport. Now we are mainly spectators. 🙂
We have only really played soccer just for fun by kicking the ball around
I am SO excited for Indy Eleven games! I think it is so awesome that Indy is filling up with more sports teams. Soccer is a great family friendly event since so many kiddos play it at school and for intermurals!
Soccer gets my stepson active playing outside plus gets me out of the house to cheer him on. Teaches great hand-eye coordination and fun to watch
We are a soccer family here, 2nd generation even. We’re so excited about Indy Eleven coming to town.
Our son tried out soccer for the first time last summer at the age of 3. It was definitely an amusing sight to see all of those 3 year olds out on the field! We plan on signing him up again for back to school soccer and hope that he understands it more. My husband and I went to a small school that didn’t have a soccer team so this was a first for all of us.
My husband played as a child and my 5 year old has done a little for fun too.
I played all through childhood – even through college (left-halfback). My kids don’t have much experience, but given the upcoming European move, I’m guessing they’re going to have a thing or two to learn about futbol!
My step daughter is on a soccer team and really enjoys it!
My children love kicking a ball around at the park, but we have never been part of a league.
My sister played competitively and throughout college in Memphis as the goalie! Tell me those games weren’t nerve-wracking!?!?
My husband played soccer in school, and now my son loves to play soccer with Daddy!
