Learn about Native American culture through a detailed tepee we’ll draw in November, and celebrate the coming of the winter months with a nutcracker that takes his job seriously. We’ll draw these (and many more exciting lessons!) while we enhance our fine-motor skills, learn to stay on task and follow di-rections, and learn skills that are critical in the class-room!

The Indianapolis Soccer & Sports Center houses two of the best soccer fields in the Midwest! Both fields are comprised of Kentucky Blue Grass, which is irrigated, and mowed daily to keep the fields looking green and beautiful. Annual chem-ical and fertilizer applications are prepared and applied by the Indy Parks & Recreation Athletic Fields Beautification Division. Each season the fields are set up to FIFA’s International maximum of 120 yards in length and 80 yards in width. During match season the length of the grass is kept at 1.25 inches in length to provide a short and smooth surface for an optimal playing en-vironment. Stadium seating for the East field is provided by two permanent stadium style grand-stands located on the east and west sides of the field extending from 18 yard box to the other. In addition there is additional bleachers on the North end of the field. Total the East field can seat approximately 6,500 spectators. The West field can seat approximately2,500 spectators. Both fields are lighted for nighttime play.
