2011-12 Boarded Winter League Info - Information now posted and registraion is open!
Soccer Blast's Boarded Leagues are one of the most popular options around. Besides being a "Blast" to play, boarded leagues offer:
- More ball touches per game
- Higher number of shots on goal per game
- Improved ball control in tight spaces
- Fast paced, intense soccer, which lends to increased endurance and physical ablility
- &, oh yeah, it's a BLAST to play!
As always, Soccer Blast hopes to be able to accomodate all teams that want to participate in the leagues. However, Winter Session II (Jan-Feb) seems to always have the highest demand. Registrations for the Winter II session only will NOT be considered until after Dec 5th. Teams looking to play ONLY WII may still submit a registration at anytime, but priority will be given to teams registering for multiple sessions up until the Dec 5th date.
Registrations will be taken in the order received, provided there is room in the league/bracket registered for. Once a bracket reaches it's capacity, additional teams will only be added as space provides (i.e. other brackets do not fill up).
Registration Inquiries:
UPDATE Dec 27th-
The majority of the Winter II Youth leagues are now full. We are still accepting registrations for the High School Coed league.
If you do have a team ready to play (for any age group), please submit the registration. You never know what could happen...spots have opened up days before a league is to start.
Brackets that are in need of registrations are Boys U09/10 and High School Coed.
Winter III is open and we are still accepting registrations for ALL brackets.
Unless stated here we will be accepting registration for ALL leagues/age groups. Give your team a better chance and submit the registration as soon as you have a team; registrations are accepted in the order received, so by the time you call and we respond, that one spot may have been filled!. Also, it is actually rare that we will ever say don't send in a registration. Because things happen and some teams can't play, or we find additional space to add teams, etc, we will always say to send it in. We might end up not fitting your team in, but it's better to have a chance than not at all.
Deposits are refunded to teams that do not get into the leagues.
Teams will be rewarded for multiple session registrations by being offered discounts and bonuses, including the "SEPTEMBER REGISTRATION SPECIAL", where team who register for all three sessions by Oct 1st will receive $75 off each session (for a total of $225), get free entry into the 2010 Holiday Blast, and 4 free hours in Soccer Blast's Player Development Center!
