Welcome

Fishers Soccer Club invites you to apply for the 19th Annual Fishers Halloween Soccer Classic to be played at Hamilton Southeastern and Fishers High Schools in Fishers, Indiana. Teams from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee come together annually to celebrate the season and compete in one of the Midwest’s finest tournaments. Last year’s tournament registered almost 300 teams. Girls teams will play the on October 23-24 and Boys teams play on October 30-31. Check-in will be the Friday evening before.

USYSA Sanctioned Tournament

The Fishers Halloween Soccer Classic is open to club travel teams who play a regular league schedule. All teams must be registered and in good standing with their affiliated association. Permission-to-travel forms, validated player passes with photos & player signatures, official team rosters, parent-signed team waiver and notarized medical release forms will be required of all teams in the Classic.

If interest supports, we will again offer two divisions for U-12 teams -- one group will play 8v8 and one will play 11v11.  Those U-12 teams that wish to play in the full-sided division but regularly play 8v8 will be permitted one additional guest player (total of 4). 

We will also offer a U-15 division!  Please encourage any U-15 teams to apply!

U-9 and U-10 teams may have no more than 12 players.  All U-11 and 8v8 U-12 teams may have no more than 14 players.  Full-sided teams, 11v11 U-12, U-13, U-14 and U-15 teams may have no more than 18 players.  On U-14 teams, up to three players may be captured U-15 and they must be rostered, not guests.   In all other divisions, players must be the proper age for the group.

Teams are permitted to bring up to three guest players with one exception.  Teams in the U-12 full-sided division may bring up to 4 guest players.  Guests must be of the proper age group for the division of play.  All guest players are to be approved by the Classic committee at the time of check-in and possess a valid player pass. 

Players may only register and play with only one team during the tournament.

U-9 and U10 games will be 6v6; U-11 games will be 8v8; there will be U-12 8v8 and 11v11 divisions; U-13 through U-15 games will be 11v11. ALL GAMES will use a 3 licensed referee system.
