2010 Indoor News

The 2010 North Indoor Season is Just Around the Corner!

tazanimation.gif
The 2010 North Indoor Soccer season is fast approaching.  Registrations will start in January and the season will start in the beginning of March.  
As is the past. registration forms will be be posted on this website or can be filled out at scheduled registration times.  New this year is online registering.  
With online registering we can also accept credit card payments for the first time.  Online registering and registration forms can be found on the Registration page.  
 
The leagues will be set up the same as in the past:
 
 
All of the leagues are coed.  The Tiny Tots and Mighty Mite leagues are non-competitive league and do not follow strict age guidelines but, instead, are based more on each child's maturity and development.  The other leagues are competitive leagues that follow the MYSA age cut offs for determining which league a player can play in.  A player can play in an older league but not in a younger league (i.e., a player who turns 16 in March could play in the U16 or U19 league but not the U14 league).  Players can play in more than one league provided they register for each league but cannot play on more than one team in a league (i.e., the 16 year old could register and play on a U16 team and a U19 team).
 
The players are placed on teams by the league at the U10, U12 and U14 leagues.  You can enter your own team at the U16, U19 and Adult Leagues.  We also accept individual registration for the leagues where teams can be entered and we will help form new teams or supplement registered teams.There will be a single elimination playoff for the U10, U12, U1, U16 and U19 Leagues.  If there are 8 or more teams in a league we ill divide the league into an upper and lower division for the payoffs.  
 
Please make sure that you register on time in that every year we have players and teams that we have to turn away because they registered too late.  While we do not want to turn anyone away, once the teams and leagues a formed and scheduled it is extremely difficult to create new teams.  We can fill-out registered teams but rarely can we add teams.

Only Registered Players Can Play - How to Add a Player After Registration is Closed   

Once the season has started and everyone should have their team shirts.  Teams at the U16 and U19 leagues can add players without league permission but must register the player through the league.  No player can play until they have turned in their signed registration form and registration fee.

Players  will not be allowed to play without their team shirt.   This includes goalies and players who forgot their team shirt.  If a player loses their team shirt their coach must contact the league.  Any player who plays without being registered will be banned from the league for the 2009 season.  Any player who allows another to use their team shirt will also be banned and the team will forfeit all of their games (they will be allowed to play the games). 

The teams at the U10, U12 and U14 levels cannot add a player without league approval.  The league will consider team standings, team sizes and the league ratios of age, boys and girls. 


     
           

NO Children, Non-Players or Non-Coaches in Players Bench

Only players and coaches are allowed in the player bench area.  The referees have been instructed to have non-players and non-coaches leave the bench area.  If they do not leave when asked, a penalty will be imposed on the team  This rule is imposed by the arena and supported by NIS.  Quite simply, it is not safe to have extra people on the bench , especially children.

 

New Rules!
 
Actually the new rules were imposed for the 2009 season will continue in 2010.  You will see more 2 minute penalties, less discretionary calls and the referee's have the authority to impose a 5 minute major penalty on players.  The rules will be enforced more like in a hockey game.  We do not want to see more penalties called during games; however, these leagues are designed to be fun games and we want to make sure that the players safety is paramount.  We do not call the game the same as the outdoor game because the game is quicker, is on a hard surface and there are boards all of which can create safety issues.  We also do not have the same rules as other indoor soccer leagues because we chose to emphasis player safety.  Hopefully, this will help control the game and players so that play does not get out of hand.  The new rules can be viewed on the Referee/Rules page of this website.  Please read the rules!
