Wednesday Practices and New League Team

On Wednesdays, we will be practicing at 8:30 PM at Corner Kick Indoor Soccer in Maplewood. We have rented the field from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Players should arrive by 8:15 PM. Each player will kick in $10 towards the cost of the field. Players should bring a light colored (or white) and a dark colored (or black) t-shirt so that we can split into two visually distinct teams if we scrimmage.

Here is a link to a Google Map to Corner Kick Indoor Soccer.

Also we will be putting together a new indoor team that will be playing in the Monday evening indoor co-ed league at Corner Kick. Andrew is organizing and captaining this team for us. If you are interested in playing on this team please email Andrew at mnglbtsoccer@gmail.com and let him know that you are interested in playing with Orange Crush Indoor. There is a limit to the number of players that can play on this team, so communicate with Andrew as soon as possible if you are interested.

Also, if you are interested in organizing and captaining a team on a different night of the week, with us at Corner Kick, Soccer Blast, City Sports Connection or another league/facility, let us know and we will be thrilled to assist you in building more teams.

This past week, our practices were rained out. We look forward to moving our practices indoors so that we can practice regardless of weather conditions outside. At this point we are looking at moving indoors as early as mid October. Stay tuned for details.

We have players at a variety of skill levels and new players are always welcome to join us.
