Information on our 2020-2021 Indoor Season!

SAS Members,

We are excited to release information regarding our upcoming 2020-2021 Indoor season and we hope that the breakdown below will answer any questions you may have. Please note that as we are finalizing our budget, team fees will only be released once team registration opens.

For those of you that are familiar with the format applied during our Outdoor 2020 6-game Mini-League season, the indoor season will be quite similar.

It’s important to remember that as a sanctioned league, we, Saskatoon Adult Soccer (SAS), need to follow the guidelines provided by Saskatchewan Soccer Association (SSA) in their Return To Soccer Plan (RTSP), on top of the provincial guidelines for Sports and Activities. This means that:

• Mini-leagues of 50 people need to be created. This includes players, coaches, and referees.
• A minimum of 3 teams and a maximum of 4 teams per mini-league
• Roster limit of 12 players instead of the usual 25
• No headers (As per Phase 3 of SSA’s RTSP)
• Players can ONLY play on ONE team
• Permits are ALLOWED, but ONLY within your mini league (pools of 3-4 teams): 3 permits per players & 1 extra for GK. (Even with permit players, game rosters cannot exceed the 12 players per team limitation).
• Instead of a ½ turf field format, the Turf League will be played as a ¼ field format (ie: January Chills)
• No changes in format for the boarded leagues
• No Free practice
• No Playoffs

Given the usual length of the indoor season, from October to March/April, we decided to split the season into two. The first registration that will open will be for a season from October to December 2020 and the second registration (opening in November) will be for the second season from January to March/April 2021. As we are aware that a good portion of our membership usually plays on more than 1 team, this gives players the opportunity to sign up and play in a different league in 2020 and 2021.

ALL Boarded & Turf leagues (Women’s/Men’s/Coed/Masters/Legends) will be playing a 10-game season.

Lastly, please note that the current structure of our Indoor 2020-2021 season is based on the most up to date SSA & provincial guidelines and could be subject to change pending any modification to those guidelines.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
