Winter Programs
Winter programming is back, and this year we’re announcing it earlier than ever!
Wondering which winter soccer option is best for your child? - The short answer: as many as you can fit! MSL, Futsal, and MasterClass each offer something different, from team competition to individual age and technical development. Here are the key differences:
Metro Soccer League (MSL)┃7U-14U
A team-based indoor league on turf, focused on competitive matches and games during the off-season. Open to all current JUSC/WDM/Sporting Iowa 7U-14U players!
Futsal League (SPIFL)┃9U-14U
SPIFL follows futsal rules on a hard court and is designed to challenge players individually in a fast-paced, technical environment with individual scores tracked.
MasterClass┃Winter Technical Training Program┃9U-14U
MasterClass focuses on improving players’ technical skills through high-repetition drills and ball control exercises, including 2v2 games, to help players apply their skills in game-like situations.
Families can choose the program or combination of programs that best fits their child’s goals this winter: team competition (MSL), fast-paced individual development (Futsal/SPIFL), or high-repetition technical training (Winter Discovery & MasterClass).
Sporting Iowa Winter Classic┃9U-14U Teams
Join us at our 8th annual Winter Classic, an exciting winter event that combines fun with a competitive edge! This is a fantastic chance for players to demonstrate their skills during the off-season. Teams have the flexibility to form their own rosters independently, but rest assured, our age group directors will carefully place teams into appropriate brackets to ensure fair and competitive gameplay.
For further guidance, we recommend reaching out to the program or league listed at the web pages for each program!

This is an opportunity for players to give back, get silver chord hours and dip their toes into the world of coaching through our U4-U8 programs. Players will run and lead short sessions with the assistance and guidance of full time and part time staff members. All equipment and uniform will be provided. Each session is 4U 5-5:35 then 5U-8U 5:45-6:45. Please put down every date that you are available and Matthew Kenton will be in touch about a training day on August 29th so coaches can get accustomed to the sessions and how to lead them.
P.s This will be the most fun way to get volunteer hours, coaching the best game in the world to awesome kids with your best friends!
