15U-19U REWARDS Elite 24 Indoor League

What is the ISC Rewards ELITE 24 Program?

• The ISC 15U-19U Rewards Elite 24 League is an indoor soccer league designed for the most talented and most dedicated players  enrolled in the ISC’s 15U-19U Advanced Year-Round Program.
• The ISC Year-Round competitive players in the 15U-19U age groups that are interested in the Rewards Elite 24 league will be given the opportunity to try out for the league.  (Although we do not hold tryouts for the 11U-12U and 13U-14U Indoor Rewards League, selection is an integral part of the 15U-19U Rewards league.)
• Only 24 players will be selected to participate in the league.
• The league is COED.  Both male and female players will be allowed to tryout.
• The players that are selected to play must agree to practice 3 times per week during all weeks when the league operates.
• In the future, we plan to hold two sessions of indoor play each winter.
• All games will be played at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Center (HTRC).
• HTRC address – 2820 Prairie Meadow Drive, Iowa City, IA.
• Check out the Rewards League Table below for current standings.

How Does the League Work?

• The league is set up so that all participants sign up as individuals and the players are assigned to play with a different group of players each weekend in what we call the “SCRAMBLE” league format.
• The ISC coaching staff will coach all games and ensure that all players will play as close to half of each game as possible

Who is Eligible for the League?

• Participants must be registered as an ISC advanced year-round player to compete in the league and they must meet the weekly practice requirements for the Rewards program.  In addition, for the 15U-19U Elite 24 Rewards Program, players must be selected by the ISC coaching staff to compete in the league.
• All participants in the 15U-19U Rewards Elite 24 program MUST be registered in their age group league in addition to the ELITE 24.  For example, if your son is age eligible to play in BAGIL, he must also play in BAGIL to play in the ELITE 24.  In addition, they must demonstrate regular attendance at those games to remain in the Rewards Elite league.
• Rewards participants must meet greater requirements.  Those are detailed on the button to the right labeled “Session 1 Rewards Requirements.”
• Players that miss more than 2 league games for reasons other than injury or illness will be given a partial refund but will no longer be given the opportunity to participate in the league.

What Should Players Wear to the Games?
