Learn how Naptown United will be offering affordable soccer for inner-Indianapolis kids.

, a newly formed nonprofit club aimed at providing affordable, competitive soccer options to inner-Indianapolis kids, won a championship in its first fall season.

Most of its board of directors is made up of volunteers and parents. The adults organize everything — carpools to games as far as 90 miles away, coordinating a team schedule, providing balls and other equipment, finding a way to allow any child whose family can't afford the $60 registration to play. Schlebecker, an Indianapolis native, said as a child she was priced out of the highly competitive travel soccer league's now concentrated in the city's suburbs. She explained costs for these leagues can balloon into the thousands of dollars.Despite playing some games with eight or nine players against full teams of 11 with substitutes, Naptown only lost two games in the fall and routinely routed its opposition.

Volunteers who could help lift some of the administrative burden of scheduling games and field time off of the coaches are also needed.In addition to referees, volunteer coaches from the U-5 to U-14 level are needed.
