Last weekend the co-ed indoor soccer league unofficially kicked off its season with a friendly outdoor tournament at the SASCU Sports Field at Little Mountain.
“This recreational tournament is a great way to get together, before the indoor season starts, and enjoy the nice weather a little longer,” said league organizer Dan Gunn.
The Salmon Arm indoor soccer league kicks off this Saturday, Oct. 4.
Games in the co-ed indoor league are played on Saturday and Sunday nights from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Games played on Saturdays will be in the non-competitive half of the league, while Sunday nights will be reserved for competitive play.
Gunn says there is wide range of skill – age and that is what makes the league fun.
The ages of players range from the early 20s all the way up to 82.
The season is broken down into two halves, a fall to winter and winter to spring schedule, with each team playing 10 games, in each session.
Gunn emphasized that the indoor league is very affordable at only $65 per session.
Each game is an hour long and includes an additional 15 minute warm up.
There are 16 teams in the league, each with 10 players. Seven players take to the field at a time, and there must be two women on the pitch at all times.
Gunn says there are still roster positions available on many of the teams.
“We always try to place you on a team that best suits you,” Gunn said. For more information, email Dan Gunn at gunnd@shaw.ca.
