ABOUT USINDOOR
The Trade Association for the People Who Run Sports Facilities
Since 1998, USIndoor has served as the central hub for the owners, operators, startups, providers and officials who make the indoor sports industry work.
Who We Are
The United States Indoor Sports Association is the trade association dedicated to the indoor sports facility industry. Members operate more than 1,200 facilities and startups across the United States and Canada, running turf fields, hardcourts, rinks, batting cages, pickleball courts and hybrid indoor-outdoor complexes.
The association began in 1998 as the United States Indoor Soccer Association, founded to connect an industry that had no structure and no shared standards. USIndoor set the rules the indoor game runs on, published the first edition of “The Official Rules of Indoor Soccer” in 2001 and expanded alongside the facilities it serves as they added sports, programs and revenue lines.
Know Your Game
The mission fits in three words. USIndoor gives members the resources, education and relationships to run safe, profitable, community-centered sports facilities, and to know their own business well enough to make the next decision with confidence.
Members come for one thing that makes money or saves money. They stay for the people.
What We Do
