Where are games played? All games will be played at the Chelsea Piers Field House, 601 Dean St., Brooklyn
We are proud to partner with Chelsea Piers Field House for this and future indoor seasons. The fields at Chelsea Piers Field House are smaller than outdoor fields, making this season a very different experience for players. Both fields are enclosed by boards so the ball is in play for almost the entire game. The pace of play is fast and players will learn speed, agility, and how to think quickly. Indoor soccer at Chelsea Piers Field house will be very different from outdoor soccer and players will have a lot of fun!

Scholarships are distributed on a first come, first served basis, and are awarded based on financial need. All scholarships are based on the availability of funds. A scholarship does not guarantee a space on a team if divisions are already full. Scholarships are for one season only and families must reapply each season.

1. Add the child(ren) under their Family Profile at https://inleague.brooklynayso.org/, but DO NOT PAY.
2. Submit the Scholarship Application. One application per family.
