At the Indiana Development League (IDL), our priority is creating a soccer environment where clubs, players, and families have a real voice. That’s why we’ve chosen to affiliate with US Club Soccer instead of the traditional state association model.

With US Club Soccer, each club in the IDL has the opportunity to be part of the decision-making process. Every member club can have a voting representative—helping shape the direction and standards of the league. This means IDL is truly member-led and community-focused.

Another big reason? Flexibility for travel and competition. Many of our teams want to compete in other states or at higher levels of play. US Club Soccer allows for national player passes, making travel and participation in top-tier events much easier—no need for additional state-by-state paperwork or restrictions.

And while IDL focuses on local development, we also support teams who want to explore regional and national US Club Soccer events. These opportunities are available and encouraged if a team chooses to take that next step.

At the end of the day, it’s about empowering clubs, simplifying the process, and giving our players the best shot at reaching their potential—on their terms.

Player-Focused, Affordable Excellence
The Indiana Development League is built for players and families. We prioritize affordability without compromising quality—ensuring every player has access to meaningful development and competition, no matter their background.
