Welcome to the
We Offer the American Professional Version of Indoor
Soccer
Founded in 1989 by soccer players for soccer players, Maryland Sports Arena is Maryland’s oldest total indoor soccer facility and features one of the area’s premier indoor fields. Our turf field includes 3 tons of rubber infill, creating a smoother surface that improves player safety and reduces joint impact. The field is fully enclosed with melamine dasher boards and tempered glass—8 feet high and clear to the floor along the sides, and 12 feet high behind the goals—and measures approximately 160 by 90 feet. Open ceilings reach a peak height of 40 feet, and clean, unscratched tempered glass gives spectators an unobstructed view of the game. LED lighting provides bright, outdoor-style illumination that enhances the experience for players and spectators alike. Our heating system combines radiant heat above the spectator area with large forced-air units to keep guests comfortable in winter. Now entering our 38th year, we have hosted more than 75,000 games since opening and average over 2,000 games each year.
Our indoor soccer format is designed to maximize participation, touches on the ball, playing time, player safety, and—most importantly—fun. We offer competitive leagues for all age groups, with an emphasis on clean, spirited competition. Because our indoor game is faster than play on non-boarded fields or in futsal, players get more touches and more time on the field as the ball stays in bounds more often. We use regulation soccer balls rather than weighted balls, which can negatively affect player development.

soccer sessions for club and recreational players ages 6–18, with boys’,
