The Huntertown Lions Club Soccer League is located just east of State Road 3 in Huntertown, Indiana (USA). We have been providing recreational and developmental soccer for Northwest Allen County for over fifteen years and help almost 700 children each year learn about and have fun playing soccer.  Huntertown Soccer has teams and programs for children from 5 to 14. In addition, the club provides a range of instructional opportunities for prospective team coaches, and hands on experience with pay for many area teenagers as referees. Our season typically begins in August with an autumn youth soccer tournament in nearby Fort Wayne, breaks for the winter in October, and resumes play in April of each year.

The club utilizes land and facilities owned by the Huntertown Lions Club that are nestled between State Road 3 on the east and Huntertown Elementary School on the west. For a map, click here.  For recreational play, we feature 2 full-sided fields, 2 short sided fields, and 3 small youth fields. To see field layout, click here.  In addition, we have a wonderful concession and picnic area that is open from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM for every game day. Our club is managed and operated by a volunteer board of directors and countless moms and dads who volunteer their time and effort.

Being very close to Fort Wayne, Indiana, we are able to take advantage of some of the fine soccer play and instruction that takes place at The Plex. We also actively support and follow the fine recreational, instructional, and travel teams at other IYSA affiliated clubs and leagues in the Fort Wayne MSA including:
