youth soccer and CC

[kreepin2g]

my son has played travel soccer for the past 4 years and the season is getting ready to start. is it illegal to carry at youth sporting venues like this if it is not at a school. of course i would CC but figured i would get the info if its legal or not. i will also keep an eye out for sign entering the fields for no firearms

It's only illegal if it's a school sponsored event or if it's on school property.

I don't think I would let my son CC while playing soccer. He might hurt himself.

Why was this the first thing that I thought as well?

I suppose there are 3 possibilities:

School Property - obviously a no-go. Be aware that schools may own property in some strange places, and if you play against an official school team, you are suddenly on school property!
Public Property (e.g.: a public park) - Thanks to State Preemption, perfectly legal
Private Property (e.g.: owned by a private for- or non-profit, like the local soccer club) - They can have whatever policy they want.

I looked into this a while back, since I'd be interested in coaching when my little girl gets old enough. USSF, US Youth Soccer, and Indiana Youth Soccer don't seem to have any rules regarding weapons for anyone (coaches, players, or spectators).
