Age Groups

When registering, tell us if you're a club/travel, school, or recreational team — we group teams by age and do our best to balance by skill level too.

Format

How Games Are Played

Games run Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays. Each division plays the same day(s) weekly, based on schedule requests submitted at registration.

Game Length

Two 22-minute halves, running clock (20 minutes for the 11 & Under division).

Overtime

One 4-minute period. There is no golden goal.

Substitutions

On the fly — players coming off must be within 3 yards of the bench.

Footwear

Tennis shoes or soccer flats are recommended; cleats are also permitted.

Punting

Only the 11 & Under division may punt. In every other division, a punt is placed at the 10-yard line.

Shin Guards

Required for every player, no exceptions. You will not be allowed to play without them.

Guest Players

Not allowed under any circumstance — using one results in an automatic forfeit.

Roster Lock

All rosters finalize after your team's 3rd game.

Two-Team Rule

Players can't play on two teams within the same age bracket — only across different divisions.

Full Rulebook

Conduct, Safety & Facility Policies

Safety comes first, and we play inside a church facility — these policies keep games fair and the space respected.

Officiating & Discipline

  • Referees and scorekeepers can stop a game for unruly player, team, or fan behavior.
  • The League Director determines the outcome after reviewing an incident report.
  • Fighting or abuse toward referees, league personnel, or fans is never tolerated — players and teams risk multi-game suspension or expulsion.
  • Removing your shirt during gameplay results in an automatic yellow card.
  • Don't approach officials before, during, or after a game about calls — direct all questions to the League Director or Co-League Director.

Facility & Safety

  • We play inside a church facility — please help us treat it with respect.
  • Abusive, derogatory, or foul language toward players, fans, coaches, or referees will not be tolerated.
  • Fighting results in immediate removal and/or expulsion from the facility.
  • Games will be stopped to remove any player, coach, or parent who can't follow these policies.
  • Contact near the wall is a safety issue — shoulder-to-shoulder proximity to the wall can be called as a foul.
  • Officials are not required to officiate forfeited games.
Guest players are NOT allowed. Any team found using one forfeits automatically (3-0), regardless of whether both teams agreed to play.

Run By Someone Who's Been In It Since 2003

Iain Jones, League Director of SportsTowne Soccer

"My focus has always been giving kids a fun environment to grow their game — in a different way, without the pressure of winning."

Iain Jones has run the youth indoor league at SportsTowne since 2003. What started as a way to keep players sharp through the winter has grown into middle Georgia's largest indoor league, drawing more than 55 teams every season.

Outside of SportsTowne, Iain is currently the Director of Boys Soccer at Stratford Academy, a role he's held since 2019. Before that, he directed the soccer program at Mount de Sales Academy from 2005 to 2019 — two decades building programs and players across the local soccer community.
