New for 2008 -- Brand spanking new fields just off I-270 in Hilliard are the new home for Sports Monster soccer in Columbus. Our inaugural fall season was a huge success - thanks to you! Be sure to tell your friends about Sports Monster soccer where Referee fees are INCLUDED, our games start and end on time, rules are followed/enforced and players have FUN!
Sports Monster is America`s largest adult soccer program with hundreds of teams playing with us in our seasonal leagues and tournaments. In Columbus, we offer two distinct levels of play. If you are fairly adept at soccer, you should play our competitive 11v11 full field. If you are more of a kicker and looking for a very relaxed format, you should try our 8v8 recreational league with shorter field format.
Because soccer teams require a minimum of 11 and a recommended roster of 15-16, Sports Monster completely understand how it may be difficult to get a full team together. That is why we also lead the nation in encouraging individual players to register for the formation of brand new teams made up of other individual players. This has worked out tremendously well for those who have signed up by themselves. And if you are signing up by yourself, we are confident that you will find Sports Monster to be a great way to play soccer and meet new friends.
We`re all about you having fun on the field. Our matches have paid referees, start and end on time. and promote good sportsmanship and solid competition.
Whether you have a complete team, a group of up to 7 (outdoor) or 4 (indoor) or are signing up by yourself, you`ll find a soccer home with Sports Monster.
The following will outline the skill levels and outdoor roster descriptions.
Sports Monster offers two (2) skill levels to choose from in Columbus:
- Competitive 11 Full Field: Sports Monster`s most popular level of soccer, the Competitive level is played in two 25 minute halves.
When you play Competitive, you will be playing against teams whose majority of players are skilled. College experience is not uncommon but the majority of players will have IM, high school or other soccer league experience. There will be few unskilled players at this level.
Overall game play is solid and players are expected to understand the majority of soccer rules. All penalties are enforced including offsides. Slide-tackling is not permitted.
Competitive is offered in coed, men`s and women`s formats. Matches are offered, depending on format, on weeknights or weekends. Coed = 7 men/4 women on the field.
- Recreational 8`s: This is a great way for you to get into soccer if you haven`t played before. It`s laid back--no big expectations for skill levels. This is our most basic soccer league and is the only one not played on a full field--no offsides! Offered in a Coed 8 on 8 format, Recreational leagues are played on a shortened field, without goalies and with goals that are similar to indoor sized goals.
At the Recreational level, you`ll be playing with people who are just out to play soccer. There will be very few skilled players, some players with AYSO or high school experience but the majority will have not played in a competitive league before. The pace will be slower with less controlled passing and more one kicks down the field. The referee will help in explaining specific rules and work on throw-ins with players looking to improve.
