USAI Joins Elite Academy League

For Immediate Release, May 9, 2025

USA of Indiana has been officially accepted into the Boys' Elite Academy League (EA) for the 2025/26 season!


This marks a significant milestone in USAI's journey, providing our players with enhanced opportunities for development and competition. This addition strengthens USA of Indiana's comprehensive player pathway, adding another top-level layer to our competition pyramid alongside two USYS National Leagues: E64 and Great Lake Conference. This platform will expand USAI's audience to broader collegiate and professional spaces, creating additional opportunities for players and each of their futures in this sport.


Over the years, USAI has proudly seen alumni—including Ray Gaddis, Matthew Hedges, Perry Kitchen, and Lori Lindsey—rise to the professional level and represent the U.S. National Teams. The EA platform provides USAI players with an incredible opportunity to compete at the highest level, grow in a supporting, player-first environment, and gain valuable exposure through top-tier showcases and competition.


USAI looks forward to representing the Central Indiana community in the Elite Academy League as it continues developing great players—and even better people—on and off the field.
