Join us for a fun night to help fundraise for Southern Indiana United Soccer.

Join us at Southern Indiana United's largest fundraising event of the year, where we come together to support our youth and our community. As a club dedicated to soccer excellence, we believe that every child should have the chance to play. Help us make that possible by supporting our youth scholarships. As soccer’s popularity continues to soar, we’ve seen an increase in the number of youth who need our help to participate in the sport they love. That’s why we hold events and fundraisers to raise funds for our youth scholarships. With over $15,000 in financial aid awarded to youth and young adults in the 2023-2024 season, we can confidently say that our efforts are making a difference.

At Southern Indiana United, we believe that soccer is more than just a game - it’s an opportunity for children to learn and grow both on and off the field. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are committed to providing a high-quality soccer experience to players of all ages and abilities. Our programs are designed to foster both physical and mental development, all while having fun.

Our annual Black & White Ball is the perfect opportunity for us to connect with our supporters and partners in the community. Don't miss out on the chance to be involved in the thriving soccer community at Southern Indiana United.

Guest Speaker

We are excited to announce Ken Lolla as our guest speaker for the 2024 SIU Black & White Ball!

When it came to building a soccer program into a national power, head coach Ken had the Midas touch, making him the perfect fit when the University of Louisville needed to find a coach that could take a program with no winning tradition and make it into a national contender.
 
Lolla did that in just two short seasons, turning Louisville into a Top 25 program and earning its first NCAA Tournament bid. And in his fifth season at Louisville, the Cardinals advanced to the College Cup championship game for the first time in school history. Prior to Lolla's arrival, the Louisville men's soccer program had managed just seven winning seasons in 27 years as a varsity program and had never advanced to the NCAA Championship.
 
In his last nine seasons, Lolla guided Louisville to a national runner-up, four more Elite Eight appearances and eight total NCAA Championship berths. Following the completion of the 2018 season, Lolla announced his resignation as head coach of the Cardinals departing as the program's all-time winningest coach.
