Our Roots
Indiana Invaders Sports Complex has been part of South Bend’s sports community for over 20 years. It all started in 1999 with the Indiana Invaders FC, a semi-professional soccer team that helped spark local interest in the game and paved the way for a strong youth club program.
That youth club grew quickly, eventually supporting more than 30 teams and creating a foundation that shaped the direction of the complex for years to come.
​
As the demand for quality sports facilities grew, we responded by expanding the footprint of the complex. We added the South Complex and another 22 acres, making it easier for more families to get involved in organized sports right here in the community. It was a natural next step in helping youth sports thrive across the region.
Our Vision
About Indiana Invaders Sports Complex
Indiana Invaders Sports Complex has long been part of South Bend’s youth sports scene. For years, we were the home of Indiana Invaders FC, developing local athletes and hosting competitive matches. In 2022, we shifted our focus and opened the facility to outside rentals, allowing us to welcome a wide range of clubs, organizations, and events from across the region.
​
13 Fields Across 50 Acres
In 2024, we completed a $500,000 expansion that brought our total to 13 full-size, multi-use athletic fields spread across 50 acres. This makes us the largest field complex in the region, with the space and infrastructure to host major tournaments and large-scale sporting events. We also have a 25,000 square foot on-site gym, home to Elite Sports Academy gymnastics, which adds indoor flexibility for practices, training, and more.
​
Locally Owned. Community Focused.
We're a family-operated facility rooted in South Bend. While we started in youth soccer, today our focus is on creating high-quality experiences for teams and families while driving real value for the local community. In 2025 alone, our events are expected to generate over 10,000 hotel room nights, helping bring new energy and visitors to the area.
​
We take pride in offering great fields, strong partnerships, and the kind of hands-on service that makes events run smoothly. Whether you're hosting a regional showcase or a national tournament, we’re here to help you make it a success.
