Wecome Back For another great Indoor Tournament: Iowa's premier Winter soccer events!
7 vs 7 format (including keepers) with all teams guaranteed a minimum of 3 games. Teams may have up to 14 on the roster. Play is indoor on a high quality "turf" field where players should wear cleats and dress in full outdoor wear. (The room should be about 50 degrees.) Games are 40 minutes straight with hockey-like free substitution.
This tournament is in Ames Iowa at the Bergstrom Indoor practice facility adjacent to Jack Trice Stadium on the Iowa State campus.
