ISC LIGHTNING BAGIL 8U-10U Indoor Soccer League

What is The ISC LIGHTNING BAGIL Indoor League?

• The ISC LIGHTNING BAGIL coed league is an indoor soccer league for 8U-10U boys and girls.  Players that participate do not need to have participated in our ISC lightning Intermediate Level program.
• Players in the ISC’s Advanced Year-Round program are not allowed to participate in the Lightning 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.
