Indoor soccer

2024-25 Indoor Season

How it Works
We rent the Prairie Athletic Club soccer field from November thru March and offer adult, coed scrimmage leagues on multiple nights. We play one 90-minute game per night, with two teams of 10 players team per team (6x6, including keepers, each team with 4 on the bench). Everyone brings a red and a white shirt. We form teams at the field each week (a little different each time). We have no refs, call our own fouls, keep subs moving, play to our own individual level, generally do not have set keepers so everyone plays a stint in goal, and we have fun!

You do not need to be a PAC member to play, but do not just show up expecting to play. Each league consists of 20 "regulars" (players grandfathered in from last season). Regulars pay at the beginning of the season and are guaranteed a spot each night (for their league). When a regular can't make it one night, an email is sent to the SP Soccer Peeps email list and spots are given to non-regulars. Subs pay just for the nights they play. Sub fees go toward the down payment for next year's field rental (i.e. sub money goes back into the leagues). Subs have the opportunity to become a regular at the beginning of the season if any of last year's regulars drop out.

Leagues

• Tuesday - 8:00-9:30 pm; every Tuesday 10/29/2024 to 4/1/2025 (No soccer 12/24 or 12/31)

• Thursday - 8:00-9:30 pm; every Thursday 117/2024 to 4/3/2025 (No soccer 11/28)

There are currently no open/regular spots available for either league. We always needs subs though, as not all our "regulars" can play each night. If you are not a "regular", join the email list and watch the "subs needed" emails throughout the indoor season.

PAC Guest Waiver

• All non-PAC members (regular or sub) must complete the Guest Waiver before arriving to the field.

  • Name of Group: SP Soccer Peeps / Baker Soccer Group

  • Location of Participation: Soccer Field

  • Recurring Visit: Yes

  • Days: check Tuesday and Thursday

Rules

• Enter PAC at the rear entrance and sign in at the desk.

• Bring a red AND a white t-shirt. We'll form teams at the field.

  • Not pink, not yellow, not black, not neon orange ... RED and WHITE. Racks of these colors can be found at stores. Visit one.  

• Wear shin guards, if you want. 

• NO outdoor/long cleats on the PAC's turf field. Indoor flats or short/nub cleats only.

• Most leagues do not have set keepers, so everyone does a "shift" in goal.

• Keep subs moving (sub every 3-5 minutes). Not following this rule may affect your chances of being invited back as a sub.

• There are no referees. Call your own fouls. If someone gets knocked down, just reset the ball. Play competitively, but don't be a jerk.

Being a Regular
As a regular, you are guaranteed a spot to play each week. Regulars are expected to RSVP each week to ensure the proper number of players are present. Any regular that does not RSVP by 8 am of game day may lose their spot that night to a sub. Once a regular, you are grandfathered in as a regular the following season.

Being a Sub
When regulars can't play, a "subs needed" email is sent to the SP Soccer Peeps email list (generally the day before game day). Subscribe to the email list to be notified of indoor (and outdoor) playing opportunities.

Sub spots are NOT first-come, first-served. All efforts are made to wait as long as possible to assign subs in order for people to have a chance to reply, as well as to spread out the sub spots to give as many people a chance to play as possible.

Subs pay $15 each night they play.
