[05/25/21]   Hello everyone!

We first want to express our utmost appreciation to Gabe for entrusting our group to carry on his legacy at the arena. Over the years, all of us have experienced several of the fond memories he referenced today - friendships created, relationships started, youth participants to avid adult-leaguers, and countless others - and for these reasons, alongside many others, we know this project is the absolute right fit for us. We cannot think of a more meaningful endeavor than maintaining a community we hold so dearly.

That being said, we want everyone to know that our top priority is to preserve this sense of community and belonging, and that we, and the new team that we are putting together, will strive to provide the best experience possible that will hopefully allow for a new wave of memories to cherish! Of course, we will also look to continuously improve where and when possible, so that expectations are not only met but also exceeded. We do ask for patience as we get started, as we are still learning and training up the new staff, and know that as he already stated, Gabe is actively part of the transition process and will continue to provide guidance to ensure the changes in the arena happen smoothly.

You will all undoubtedly meet the new staff members as the leagues get started again, but Darcy Odom and I (Nico Muniz) also wanted to personally introduce ourselves here as the new owner/operator representatives, as we will be working the day-to-day operations. For those of you who we've already had the pleasure of knowing, we look forward to seeing you all again, and for those who we have yet to interact with, we can't wait to meet you all!

We look forward to welcoming everyone back after all this time away, and here's to a new era of IISA!

Nico, Darcy, & Company

[05/24/21]   Hello!

I have some news regarding the leagues at the arena!

I am stepping down as owner/operator of the leagues portion of the arena. My last day will be May 31 and the members of the new ownership team, who are already training, officially take over June 1. Please know this has no impact on your memberships or team fees, or even credits from the interrupted Spring I 2020 season. This has no effect on Lil' Kickers at all, other than everyone (league and Lil' Kickers members) will have to sign a new waiver starting June 1.

After much thought, I know this decision is the best for me, my family, and the community in general. I know it is the right time for me to transition to different passions, focus my energy elsewhere, and to the pass the torch to those who are excited to continue to provide amazing experiences for the indoor soccer community.

Along with two of my best friends, I started the leagues in 2001 with no real business experience, but a passion for community, creation, organization, and soccer of course. Back then I never imagined the arena and the indoor community would grow to what they are today, which is probably the reason for the success of the business. I was never great at 5 or 10 year plans. Instead I focused on improving what was in front of me, bit-by-bit, day-by-day, season-by-season, year-by-year and also cherishing the connections and friendships I made.

I feel so blessed to have grown over the past 20 years as a friend, entrepreneur, leader, partner, and parent, and so much of it is due to the experiences I had at, and because of, the arena. I had the honor to be part of your lives as well and saw youth players become adult league players, customers become staff members, friends become partners, players become parents, marriage proposals, a wedding ceremony, and so much more. I even met my amazing wife when she played in our leagues! I am so grateful for all of you!!

I will still be around as a player and will do my very best to make sure the transition to the new ownership team is a smooth one for them and for you as well. I look forward to being part of the community in a different aspect and know the new group will do a fantastic job.

Whether you just started playing at the arena, have been around for a few or several years, or are one of the ones who started with us in 2001, I send you a sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being such an integral part of my journey!

Much love to you all,
Gabe Nosseir

‎Clarity For Parents Of Athletes: #CFPOA #39 How to Help Your Child Become Intrinsically Motivated With Dr. Gina Riley on Apple Podcasts

Hi all! Gabe here and I hope all is well with everyone. Just wanted to reach out and share this:

I’m often asked by parents what they can do to get their child to practice more on their own. I never felt as if I had a great answer but now I do.

I interviewed Gina Riley PhD, an expert in building intrinsic motivation, and she spoke about tools parents can use that will help their children find the drive from inside of them, which leads to success in all they do.

This is a must listen for all parents.
