Indoor Soccer Underway!


The Iowa Lakes soccer athletes have been working hard coaching soccer-enthused kids in the Spencer community this month. The ages of the kids range from kindergarten up to high school. The coaches have been learning new soccer techniques to instruct the kids in the indoor facility and have been really having a good time doing it. Many have admitted that they thought it would be easy to teach them new skills, but when it was time for practice to start, the coaches had to come up with creative solutions to work with a different age group than what they were used too. We’ve only seen success out of this challenge thus far.


When asked why she likes coaching indoor, Karen Sosa responded, “I love coaching in the indoor facility because it is a very rewarding experience. First of all we get to interact with kids of all ages and help them develop their skills… Coaching indoor is fun, especially knowing that maybe one day one of these kids will go on and have a future in this sport, and you as a coach was one of their inspirations.”


The indoor season will be through December and the second session will begin in January through March.
