8The League
An 8v8 (7v7+GK) soccer league designed to give high school teams a place to play together during the summer. Matches will be played on an 80x60 field with full-sized goals. Matches will be 2x25 min. halves, with each team playing 2 matches per night. The league will consist of a 10-14 game League schedule and a one-night, single elimination, Cup tournament. *The league will be operated in full compliance with all NSAA rules of eligibility.
When
The league will begin Wednesday, June 8th and conclude Wednesday, July 27th. Matches will be played on Wednesday. Match times will be from approximately *2, *3 or *4PM-9PM (*pending number of teams).
Who
Any Nebraska or Iowa high school with a Varsity Girl’s Soccer Program is invited and it does not matter what “class” or “division” the plays in their respective state. Players must be upcoming freshmen-to-be through seniors-to-be (No 2021 graduates will be eligible). You may have multiple teams and/or teams that compete in opposite leagues.
Where
All matches will be played at Burke High School’s Soccer Field (120th & Dodge Street).
Rosters
Team rosters are limited to 15 players (including GK) per team. Each team MUST register an adult coach, who is encouraged to attend all matches. The coach is strongly recommended to be someone associated with the high school program (Head Coach, Varsity Asst. JV Coach, etc.). Cost The registration cost for the league is $600 per team (about $40 per player) + $100 deposit that is FULLY refundable at the conclusion of the season as long as your team shows up to every scheduled game on time. If your team can’t make a scheduled game then you must call at least 1 week (7 Days) in advance to inform the league of your absence. Your team will have to forfeit the game scheduled but you will still be able to collect your deposit at the end of the season. This is to ensure that The Eights can communicate in a timely manner with teams who will not have an opponent for a given week. If your team fails to adhere to the deposit policy, the $100 would then be forfeited to the Eights and could be used for compensation for the team left without a game. Included in the registration fee is a team set of shirts +GK shirt and Championship Awards. According to NSAA guidelines, high school teams competing in leagues other than the NSAA high school competition cannot use their representative high school’s name or mascot name. Therefore, all non-sponsored teams shall be designated by their jersey color, which we will “try” to correspond to their respective high school colors. i.e Millard North=Blue, Papillion/LaVista=Maroon, Gretna=Green, etc.
Registration is due Friday, June 3rd . Make checks payable to: The Eights Memo: Team Name
*Only 1 check is to be written for each team for the full amount.
The check must be accompanied with all player release forms! *If a player is found to playing without a release form on file, that player will be asked to leave that game and not be allowed to play until a release form is signed; in addition, the team in which that player plays for would immediately forfeit that contest.
