You should expect to travel every other weekend starting in August. We have a “home and home” arrangement with many teams that we play, and we travel to some 3-way events. During the season, our travel games are usually in the Indianapolis, Bloomington, and Cincinnati areas. We do our best to schedule all Jags teams for the same away destination.
*A player must not be older than 19 on the last day of the national homeschool tournament of the current season.
No. It is our desire that athletes of all skill levels can be part of a welcoming, safe, and challenging soccer experience.
It is possible that players will complete evaluation exercises but tryouts are not required to be a part of the River City Jaguars.
We are a competitive team, so there is no “equal playing time”. We do recognize that in order to be a good team, we need a deep bench, and in order for our bench to be good, players need experience. We strive to develop the whole team. Players will receive playing time, but it may not be “equal”.
It is important that players attend practice. Consistent absences need to be pre-arranged by parents and approved by coaches.
The River City Jags play teams from private schools, Christian schools, club teams, public schools, along with other homeschool teams. Our season is primarily composed of playing against Indiana Homeschool Soccer league programs.
All of our teams play in the IHSL state tournament. Our 14U team plays in one additional regular-season tournament. 19U teams play one additional regular season tournament and conclude their season at the National Homeschool Soccer Championship.

We work hard to help players afford to play on the team. In cases of hardship, our board will review and can possibly offer a reduced fee. In cases of extreme hardship, we may be able to waive fees. Please contact a board member or coach if your family is in need of financial assistance. There are usually carpool options available to games to help save on travel expenses.
All players will need to provide their own cleats (firm ground), shin guards, practice wear, ball, and water bottle. Please contact us before purchasing gear if new to soccer.
