HFC United's co-ed recreational Indoor Soccer League is one of the most popular, and anticipated, programs each March and April. The indoor soccer league has its roots starting over 25 years ago when Hastings Youth Athletic Association (HYAA) ran soccer programing in Hastings.

In mid-March, when hockey season winds down, the City of Hastings installs flat, turf-like placement over one of the hockey rinks surface. Games are fast-paced, usually high scoring, and is a good warm-up for competitive travel soccer players as the Minnesota spring season is as unpredicable as its winter season.

Thanks to all the coaches, captains, referees, players & their families, and volunteers who helped make the 2024 Indoor Soccer season a success! See photos of grades 3-12 champions below.

Neon Green and Neon Pink played a very close and competitive game. The game was tied 3-3 at the end of regulation time. They had a shoot out that went to seven shots before Neon Pink edged out Neon Green.

Royal and Gold played in a higher scoring back and forth game that was tied 6-6 at the end of regulation time. They went to a shoot out, and the Royal team won.

The Maroon and Neon Green teams battled it out in the championship game. There was back and forth excitement, but the Neon Green team pulled ahead in the end and won the game 8-5.

Black and Neon Pink played in a back and forth thriller. Black scored first, but Neon Pink got three unanswered goals to go ahead. Black got one more goal, but Neon Pink retained their narrow lead and won the game 3-2.

HFC United uses modified indoor soccer rules, and features 6v6 co-ed teams.  Two 25-minute halves are played using a running clock.  Click below to review the rules of the league.

⚽  High School captains: We have a male and female captain for each team, so please note if you'd like to be a captain on the registration form. Captains choose the teams!

⚽ Elementary & Middle School division coaches: High school players will be given a choice on your registration forms to note if you'd like to be a coach for a younger team. If high school students are not playing, but would like to help coach an elementary or MS team, contact Ceil Strauss.

⚽  Financial Assistance is available to those who qualify, on or before 02/27/2025.

HOW TEAMS ARE FORMED & NEED FOR COACHES FOR GRADES 1-8:

1. Grade 1-8 Divisions: Coaches* for the teams in each division (Grades 1/2, Grades 3/4, Grades 5/6 & Grades 7/8) pick the teams. We also get as much input as possible from those familiar with player skill levels in each division (i.e., from travel team coaches, our travel director and director of coaching). We do our best to select balance teams based on skill levels. Other factors include:

• The number of boys and girls will be balanced as much as possible on the teams.
• Every effort is made to honor family requests for siblings to be on the same team and carpool requests for players with longer drives (e.g., Cannon Falls, Red Wing, Ellsworth).
• For the older divisions, coaches try to have players they know are willing to be goalies on each team.

* Coaches for grades 1-8 divisions are high school student volunteers for as many teams as possible. With the success of the indoor program, and the growing number of teams, we will likely also need some parent coach volunteers. Both high school players and parents can note interest in coaching when registering for the indoor coed rec soccer program. If a high school student is not playing this year, or a parent missed the spot to note coaching interest, email Indoor Coed Rec Coordinator Ceil Strauss to note interest.

Note: Being an indoor coed rec soccer coach can count for the required volunteer hours for HFC travel families or for service hours (i.e., for HS National Honor Society, church-related requirements, etc.).

2. High School Division: High School player captains pick the teams. We have a boy and girl captain for each team (if enough captain volunteers). Within a few days of the registration deadline the captains choose the teams. Other factors considered:

• The number of boys and girls on each team are balanced as much as possible.
• Every effort is made to honor family requests for siblings to be on the same team and carpool requests for players with longer drives (e.g., Cannon Falls, Red Wing, Ellsworth).
• Note that some captains focus on skill levels and others focus on having a "fun" team. If a player didn't like the team balance last season, volunteer to be a captain this season!
