Dyer Kickers offers an "Introduction to Soccer" division(U4) for ages 3&4 years of age who do not meet the u6 birthdate cutoff (8/1) & an in-house recreational league for kids ages 4-16. These programs focus on exposure soccer, skill development and having fun! We hope to develop a passion for the game of soccer at an early age.

Games/Practice
U4 does not play any scheduled games.
The In-House league plays all their games & practices at Dyer Northgate Park (u4/u6/u8) & Dyer Central Park (u10 & above)
The in-House league is less competitive than our Rec+ Travel league.  
Teams typically practice one to two times per week.
Games usually take place on Saturdays, but some Friday night games can be expected for our u6 & possibly u8 divisions. 

Skills
All Dyer players will be invited to participate in FREE Footskill building clinics throughout the season (optional). A benefit that the club pays for with generous fundraising money & donations. 

Coaches
-Both our u4 & all our In-House divisions rely on parent volunteers to coach. 
-Head coaches receive $50 reimbursement for each team they coach
-Coaches training provided by Dyer Kickers & their partners.
-Training includes Practice Plans and Education, Safesport training, Concussion training, and access to our licensed staff and partners.
**As a rule of thumb, we try to have (1) coach/trainer for every 8-10 players with the younger ages requiring more attention.

The Rec+ Travel Program for the more experienced player aged U8-U16 who excels at in-house play. This program is a stepping stone between in-house play and elite club-level play. Players compete against teams from the surrounding Northwest Indiana area who are also passionate and excel in the sport.

The Rec+ Travel program runs during the Fall and Spring seasons and is sanctioned by NWISL (nwisl.com). The league is comprised of 24 surrounding towns within Northwest Indiana. Towns include: Munster, Highland, Hammond, Lansing, Valparaiso, Portage, Lowell, Schererville, Griffith, Ogden Dunes, Crown Point, Duneland, Hobart, Laporte, Union Township, Michigan City, Demotte, Morgan Township, Renselear, Lake of the Four Seasons, and Hebron.

NWISL places each team in one of several tiers.  Team placement is based on the time the team has been together, age, skill, how many players the club returns to the league every year, and other factors.  New teams with newer players are generally placed in lower divisions; whereas, teams that have played together and have done well move up to higher divisions.

Practices
-Rec+ teams typically practice twice per week.
-Locations: Dyer Northgate Park (u8) & Dyer Central Park (u10 & above).

Games
-There are typically four home and four away games. Home and away game locations vary by which towns are in our bracket. 
-Games are set by NWISL and usually occur on Sundays between noon and 6:00 p.m. Some Saturday games are possible and should be expected.

Skills
All Dyer players will be invited to participate in FREE Footskill building clinics throughout the season (optional). A benefit that the club pays for with generous fundraising money & donations.

Coaches
-Coaches for this program are volunteers but are usually more experienced than in-house coaches. Most have at least one advanced certification. 
-Head coaches receive $50 reimbursement for each team they coach
-Coaches training provided by Dyer Kickers & their partners.
-Training includes Practice Plans and Education, Safesport training, Concussion training, and access to our licensed staff and partners

**Teams often stay together and enroll in tournaments and play together during the summer & winter at indoor facilities in the off season.
**Because this is a competitive league, Dyer Kickers reserves the right to hold mandatory player evaluations before players are placed at appropriate level (including inhouse). **Player spots are limited by NWISL therefore placement is not guaranteed.
