A Letter from IFA Board President, Ken Yerkes


Dear Indiana Fire Membership:


As the season winds down and we head into 2023-2024 season - I wanted to highlight some of your accomplishments. Our staff and support team do a great job of getting our players prepared to play- but it all starts with supportive parents and your efforts to work busy family schedules and soccer into your lives. All of us here at Indiana Fire Academy, Indiana Fire Pro Academy, and Westfield Youth Soccer Assn thank you for your efforts!


As the saying goes, if they keep score it matters. At the conclusion of last weekend- Indiana Fire teams had unbelievable success at the Indiana State Cups weekend. We are the home team at Grand Park- so we may get a leg up on our competition- but our players still need to bring all their skills to these highly competitive games!


For State Cup- Indiana Fire had (5) champions, (1) affiliate champion in Indiana Fire North, and 4 runners up.


For Presidents Cup- Indiana Fire had (4) champions, (1) affiliate champion in Indiana Fire South and (1) affiliate runner up in Indiana Fire North.


For Challenge Cup- Indiana Fire had (2) champions and (1) runner up, (1) affiliate champion in Indiana Fire South and (1) affiliate runner up in SCSA Fire.
