Idaho’s Premier All-Girls Soccer Club

Her Start: Building Confidence & Love for the Game
Her Start focuses on age-appropriate, fun, and engaging soccer training designed for young girls. Our goal is to help each player feel confident with the ball and excited to play.
Why Girls-Only Matters:
Belonging: Girls thrive when they feel they belong in a space built just for them.
What makes Her Start unique:
Fun with the ball: Game-like activities that keep players moving and learning
Confidence-building: 1v1 situations to help players control the ball and make decisions
As the only all-female club in the valley, Her Start is the front door to girls’ sports, and every girl deserves to walk through it!
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.
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 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 Growth
Ages 10-11. During her growth 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. She is discovering it’s her game.
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!
