Ironman Soccer Tournament

 

What is Ironman Soccer?

Ironman Soccer is an event in which individual soccer player’s sign up for a soccer tournament on an individual basis.  As players sign up leading up to the tournament day, they will be placed on a list.  That list will consist of enough players to form 4 teams.  The first 4 goalies to sign up will automatically be the goalies for the 4 teams.  When there are enough field players and goalies to fill all four teams, any new players thereafter will be placed on a waiting list until one of two things happens.  If a player drops out of the Ironman tournament, then they will be replaced by the next person in line.  If there are enough players on the waiting list to form another team including a goalie, then a fifth team will be formed.  This process will continue to take place until no more teams can be formed.  It doesn’t matter the size, speed, or skill level, Ironman is for everyone!

 

Where did Ironman come from?

Ironman tournaments were formed by a sport called broomball.  Broomball is a sport that is very similar to hockey.  Instead of skating, you run on the ice and the gear for the sport is different than hockey.  Ironman was formed in Minnesota and is now played in arenas from coast to coast.  With the popularity growing more and more, these arenas are hosting multiple Ironman’s each year.

 

What is Draft Day?

Draft Day will take place a few days before the Ironman tournament begins.  On draft day, my staff and I will sit down and draw names from a hat based on skill level.  The skill levels will be explained on the sign up sheet.  Once the names are selected, we will post the entire draft on the website so you can see when and where you are playing.

 

What does it take to win an Ironman?

Those teams that learn how to communicate with the different players on their teams are the teams that tend to do well in the Ironman events.  Teams that learn how to adapt to different levels of skill and different styles of play also tend to do very well.  Although you sign up as an individual for the Ironman, the team that plays “less” as individuals and more like a team will win the event.

 

Good Luck!!
