ABOUT
THE SPORT
Get active this season and play Indoor Soccer with the ESSC. It’s a great way to get fit, work on your eye-foot coordination and to have fun with your team. It’s a 5 on 5 game (including the goalies), with a minimum of two females on the floor at all times. We use custom built indoor soccer nets, the walls are live and the games are a fast-paced 50 minutes of action (plus warm-up). We offer Recreational, Recreational Plus and Intermediate divisions. All games have a Coordinator present but you are expected to call your own fouls and be responsible for your own play. We encourage you to play with a ‘fun-first’ attitude at our various medium and large sized gyms rented from the City of Edmonton and private facilities throughout the city. After your game, meet-up with your team mates and other ESSC players while enjoying exclusive specials at one of our many Sponsor Bars around Edmonton. |
