Player Development Oriented Professional Coaching

The goal of the ISC is to foster the growth and development of each player through age-appropriate coaching methods administered by professional coaches.

ISC offers advanced year-round programming to boys and girls teams ranging in age from 8U to 19U. ISC teams have been successful in Iowa and across the Midwest. Ten ISC teams have won state championships since the club’s inception in 1997. Our focus on player development has produced many alumni that have played or are currently playing at all college levels and at the professional level.

The ISC Advanced year- round competitive teams train from August through June.  The 9U-12U teams play most of their games in Eastern Iowa with a few games each year in the Des Moines area.  The 13U-19U teams also have many games in Eastern Iowa, but they play more games in the Des Moines area than the younger teams.  In addition, some of our 13U-19U teams travel out of state for tournaments. Teams practice at three different locations in the Iowa City area.  Those locations are the Iowa City Kicker’s Soccer Complex, the Hawkeye Recreation Fields, and the Coralville Youth Soccer Complex.  Indoor training is conducted at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Center (HTRC).

In addition to team training sessions, we also offer a Super Skills program to improve individual technical skill especially as related to dribbling, turning with the ball, and overall confidence with the ball.  The club also offers Incentive Plan practices during the winter months to help players with ball striking skills.  These extra programs are provided at no additional cost to the player.

Commitment Expectations

Our 8U through 19U have programs have stringent practice and game commitment expectations and all Advanced Year-Round players must attend a clinic or tryout before potentially being offered a team placement.
