ISC LIGHTNING BAGIL 9U-10U Indoor Soccer League

What is The ISC LIGHTNING BAGIL Indoor League?

• The ISC LIGHTNING BAGIL coed league is an indoor soccer league for 9U-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.

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 indoor games.
• The ISC coaching staff will ensure that all players will play as close to half of each game as possible.
• Due to COVID protocols, all participants must wear a mask at all times even while playing.  In addition, no spectators are allowed in the facility.  The kids will not be allowed to remain in the facility if they are not participating in the match that is scheduled.  Our staff will assist players at drop off and pick up at the East Entrance to the HTRC.  In addition, we will have all emergency contact numbers accessible at all times in the event that we need to contact parents for an injury or emergency.
