Tips for Your First Indoor Soccer Match: Gear, Rules & Safety (Premium Family Guide — West Palm Beach)

Premium Family Guide — West Palm Beach

Indoor soccer is one of the best ways to keep your family active, energized, and having fun year-round—especially here in West Palm Beach, where heat or rain can interrupt outdoor plans. If you're stepping into an indoor field for the first time, this guide will walk you through exactly what to bring, how the game works, and what to expect at our family-friendly, privately owned facility.

Whether you're a parent cheering from the sidelines or a player getting ready for your first match, this is everything you need to know.

1. What to Wear: Gear That Works Indoors

Indoor soccer requires lighter, safer gear than outdoor fields. Here’s what we recommend:

✓ Footwear

• Indoor soccer shoes or sneakers only.
  Cleats are not allowed on our courts for safety and surface protection.

✓ Clothing

• Breathable athletic wear
• Shinguards for kids and adults
• Extra layers for before/after the game (our common areas require shirts at all times)

✓ Bring a Water Bottle

Hydration is key—especially for kids. Coolers are not allowed, but individual bottles are welcome.

2. The Basics: Rules Every Beginner Should Know

Indoor soccer is fast-paced, fun, and easier to learn than outdoor soccer. These are the fundamentals:

Small-Sided, High-Action

Games move quickly, with more ball touches and constant involvement for every player.

No Out-of-Bounds

Walls keep the play dynamic, which means more fun for young players learning the game.

Shorter Halves

Perfect for kids and families who want high energy without the long commitment.

3. Safety First — Our Non-Negotiables

We maintain a premium, family-friendly environment designed with children in mind. To keep the space clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone, we ask all visitors to respect our facility rules:

Safety Rules to Know Before You Play

(all activities are at your own risk)

• No slide tackles
• No cleats
• No smoking
• No violence, bad language, or aggressive behavior
• Do not climb walls or abuse goals/nets
• Do not spit or throw gum on the courts
• Do not bring food onto the playing area
• Do not run in hallways
• Coolers are not allowed
• Children must be supervised at all times

We are a private facility, and we reserve the right to remove anyone who does not follow these guidelines. Our goal is simple: a clean, respectful, family-focused atmosphere that feels welcoming and premium.
