Indie Chicas
Idaho’s Premier All-Girls Soccer Club
Allison Gibson, President and Director of Coaching.
Our commitment.
We want all of our girls to thrive — to become confident, creative, resilient young women.
We work to help them find their individual potential, both on and off the field. We are working towards new and better ways to train young female athletes. And when our girls look back on their experience as an Indie Chica, we want them to find joy and inspiration.
Listen to Allison talk about the club’s philosophy on National Public Radio.
Tryouts for 2024.
Tryout for the Indie Chicas on June 3rd and 4th.
Soccer Camp
Ages 5-14. For any young female soccer player who wants to have fun, improve her game, and play with confidence.
Indie Chicas joins the UPSL
The United Premier Soccer League occupies the 4th tier of the US Soccer pyramid, just below the three professional tiers in the pyramid. The UPSL fills the large gap that exists between the youth game and the professional game, serving thousands of aspiring players and coaches as they strive to further their aspirations and fuel their passions.
The Chicas Way
The Indie Chicas are led by former collegiate coaches and professional players who know the game at the highest levels and have designed a program specifically for the needs and development of aspiring young female soccer players.
Her Start
Ages 5-7. We start building her confidence in mind and body. Our program establishes the foundations of her future game with a wide array of fun, soccer-oriented games designed to connect the brain to the body and the feet to the ball.
Her Foundation
Age 8-9. We introduce her to the 7v7 game space, where she develops her field awareness, passing, tight-spaced coordination, and encourage her to express herself creatively with the ball.
Her Development
Ages 10-11. During her development phase we build her confidence, expand her individual skills, and introduce her to the Chicas Way of play in the 9v9 game space. She is solving problems, taking chances, getting up, and trying again.
Her Game
Ages 12-14. We introduce her to the 11v11 game space. She is getting stronger, faster, and smarter. She is seeing the whole field, learning the game, and making the plays.
Her Goals
Ages 15-18. She is bringing it all together, finding her personal potential and showcasing her ability. It is her will, her skill, her vision. She is a force!
