2025 Winter Friday Indoor League
Description
Indoor Winter League is back!
This league will be 7 weeks long from 8-10pm on Friday nights, January 17 - February 28, playing at Rivers Edge on two walled, indoor soccer fields, sized at 180x80 feet. With smaller fields, this league will be 5v5 and play a ratio of 3:2, men-matching to women-matching players.
This league is meant for experienced players only and is a draft-style league. Not every player (particularly for men-matching) will be drafted (see more details in Registration notes below).
The cost is $105 for 7 weeks.
As for why there is a slight increase in cost, last year, the league was 6 weeks and $90. While we normally offer multiple price points for a "pay what you can model," the field rental for indoor leagues is expensive and we're unable to offer that to everyone. That being said, if the price is a prohibiting barrier for anyone, please reach out to Liz Anderson at landerson@cincinnatiultimate.org for financial assistance!
League Rules 2025
This league will utilize the most up-to-date rulebook with the following rules & modifications:
- 4 teams & two rounds each night
- First game: 8-8:55 pm
- Second game: 9:00-9:55 pm
- 5v5 with the ratio of 3:2, men-matching to women-matching.
- Captains will draft players into 4 teams, aiming for 8 or 9 men-matching players and 6 women-matching players per team.
- Players need to be at least 18 by January 1, 2025
- Stall to 7 (starting at 1, stall would then be the "S" in seven)
- No time outs, no halftime
- All indoor structures (nets, walls, poles, etc) are considered out of bounds. If a disc hits these structures, it is “out” and is to be set into play at the location on the playing field closest to where the contact occurred.
- No pulls - when a point is scored, the formerly defending team will start the next point on the endzone line near where the disc was scored.
- When the time expires, finish the point (see Universe Point Rules for if the game is tied at the end of the point).
- Universe Point rules: If the point that is played out after time expires results in a tied game, play one more point (Double Game Point). If the point does not conclude before the start of the next game or the end of the rented time slot, the league director reserves the right to call a tie if too much time has passed.
- NEW-ish (in 2024): Hockey-style subbing! Players can substitute themselves anytime during the point. The player must be exiting the field before the player coming in can run out.
Registration notes:
- Once you select REGISTER, you have 15 minutes to complete the registration. It will hold your spot while you fill out the fields, so please make sure you do this! It is helpful for the captains to see details about players as they make decisions on who to draft.
- We will plan to allow more men-matching players to register than there are roster spots for MMPs, and not everyone may be drafted. League captains and the League Director will moderate the draft process and we will communicate this as soon as the draft is completed.
- As this is an experienced league, Captains will be looking to craft teams of both skilled and fun players. Captains will draft players who are spirited, respectful of ALL players on the team, and play well in mixed ultimate.
- Please note that registering for this league (particularly as a man-matching player) does not guarantee that you have a spot in this league. If players are not drafted, they will be notified immediately after the draft is completed and a refund will be issued.
Sub Policy:
- Subs are allowed to participate if a team has less than 4 women-matching players or 6 men-matching players that night.
- All subs must be vetted through Liz Anderson, the league director, to verify the appropriate skill level.
- Subs will be asked to pay $10 per night they sub.
