ISC MINI BITES BAGIL 9U-10U Indoor Soccer League

What is The ISC MINI BITES BAGIL Indoor League?

• The ISC MINI BITES BAGIL coed league is an indoor soccer league for 9U-10U boys and girls.  Players that participate in the ISC MINI BITES BAGIL INDOOR SOCCER LEAGUE do not need to be registered in the Friday night Winter Lightning practice program or in our ISC Advanced Year-Round Program.  The program is open to any 9U-10U kids who want to play in a fun indoor soccer league for players at the beginner or intermediate level.
• Players in the ISC’s Advanced Year-Round program are not allowed to participate in the MINI BITES league unless we have open spots after registration has concluded.  The purpose of the league is to offer a fun league for players with less competitive experience.
• The league is well suited for players that want a lower level of commitment compared to the ISC year-round players.
• 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, Iowa.

How Does The League Work?

• The league is set up so that all participants sign up as individuals.  Participants are placed on a team with other players and they will remain on the same team for the entire session.
• The ISC coaching staff will form all teams.
• All participants are guaranteed 6-8 indoor games.  The number will vary from session to session based on available dates.
