Just depends on where you live. My kids played at sportrak in Sewickley, Tri County outside of Cranberry. One of my sons also played up in Butler for a winter. My nephew plays at Tri county as well, plus he has played at PISA in Cheswick and a place in Washington that I forget the name of. There is another place in New Castle that I'm not too familiar with but I know its there. As far as east and south of Pittsburgh I am less familiar.

The only other places that I’m aware of that you haven’t listed (that have indoor soccer) are The Bubble on Neville Island, Greentree Sportsplex in Greentree, or The Neighborhood Academy in Stanton Heights.

Dang, I forgot about the bubble, my son practiced there for a while. Both of my boys and my nephew played at Greentree. Never heard of the one in Stanton Heights. Something tells me there must be a place in Monroeville too.

The Neighborhood Academy is a small 6-12 prep school. I don’t know if the field house on campus is open to the public/hosts public programs at all, but there 100% are soccer activities there. I have coached Arsenal teams there and my kids have participated in programs there, also run thru arsenal.

Between the lot of them my sons and nephew played for quite a few teams. Sadly a lot of them either don't exist any longer or consolidated. Cant say any of them played for Arsenal, most likely played against them, lol. There's always my niece, she's u9 now. No cup soccer for her yet.

Thanks. Sounds like there are a lot of options for the youth game. Do you know if those places host games or leagues for adults? I am looking at things within the city. I don't mind driving - I'm from LA - everything is 30-40mins away there

PISA in Cheswick absolutely has/had all age levels on the men’s side, as well as coed and pickup. I used to ref/work there, although that was a while ago.

Edit to reflect your edit: the Oval at Schenley Park is pretty much the gold standard for adult pickup games.

I can say with certainty that I've seen adults play in Sewickley/Sportrak and at Tri county. Adult games are usually later in evening. Ie: u8, u10 might play around 5, 6, etc up to my nephew currently on a u19 team last night played at 9:20.
PA West does have adult outdoor leagues as well. Spring runs April to june; fall runs September to end of October. I don't deal with those but I have a couple friends that play on the over 40 teams.
