Idaho’s Premier All-Girls Soccer Club

Allison Gibson, President and Director of Coaching.

Our commitment.

We want all of our girls to thrive — to become confident, creative, resilient young women.

We work to help them find their individual potential, both on and off the field. We are working towards new and better ways to train young female athletes. And when our girls look back on their experience as an Indie Chica, we want them to find joy and inspiration.

Listen to Allison talk about the club’s philosophy on National Public Radio.

The Chicas Way 

The Indie Chicas are led by former collegiate coaches and professional players who know the game at the highest levels and have designed a program specifically for the needs and development of aspiring young female soccer players.

Her Start!

We start building her confidence in mind and body. Our program establish the foundations of her future game with a wide array of fun, soccer-oriented games designed to connect the brain to the body and the feet to the ball.

Ages 5-7.

Her Foundation

We introduce her to the 7v7 game space, where she develops her field awareness, passing, tight-spaced coordination, and encourage her to express herself creatively with the ball.

Age 8.

Her Development

Our development program is designed to build her confidence, expand her individual skills, and introduce her to the Chicas Way of play in the 9v9 game space. She is solving problems, taking chances, getting up, and trying again. She is learning that it is her game. 

Ages 9-11.

Her Game

Our competitive program brings it all together in the 11v11 game space. She is seeing the whole field, making the plays, and changing the game. It is her will, her skill, her vision. She is a force!

Ages 12-18.
