ISC BAGIL Indoor Soccer League

What is the ISC BAGIL Indoor League?

• The ISC BAGIL League is an indoor soccer league for the ISC’s competitive 15U boys, freshmen on the 16U boys’ team, and ALL 15U-19U girls.  In addition, starting in 2024, CRSA and ISC are working together to make this age division of the ISC leagues function as a part of our collobarative efforts to provide soccer opportunities for older players.  Therefore, ISC gladly welcomes any and all of CRSA’s competitive players in the same age divisions to join us in this league competition.
• Two sessions of indoor play are offered each winter and all games will be played at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Center (HTRC)
• HTRC address – 2820 Prairie Meadow Drive, Iowa City, IA.

How Does the League Work?

• The league is set up so that all participants sign up as individuals. Participants are placed on a team and they will remain on the same team for the entire session.
• The ISC coaching staff will select captains from the players in the league.  The criteria for selection as a captain is based on seniority in the club but also commitment to the club.   The captains will draft teams, contact the parents to introduce themselves, and notify their team members about schedules.  The captains and the ISC staff will notify players of their team placement.
• The ISC coaching staff will coach all games and ensure that all players will play as close to half of each game as possible.
• The top 8 teams in the division will qualify for the quarterfinals on Saturday, January 3, 2025, for session 1. 

Who is Eligible for the League?

• Participants must be registered as an ISC POPPI or ISC advanced year-round player to compete in the league.  In addition, starting for session 1 of 2024-2024, the ISC has invited CRSA’s competitive players in the same age groups to join us for this league.
• All players who enter the draft must meet their practice requirements each week to be eligible to play in league games on the weekend.
