Join Grab A Game at the Canlan SportsPlex for the 6th Annual Indoor Soccer Turkey Tourney
on Black Friday! Register by November 16 to take advantage of early bird pricing.
This year, we are splitting the tournament into two divisions: Recreational and Competitive. Both divisions will play 7v7 (including goalies). The Recreational level is perfect for teams and individuals who are looking to play good soccer while burning off calories from a big Thanksgiving dinner. These games are less intense than the Competitive division, but still attract experienced soccer players. This is a great division for coed teams, women’s teams, players returning to soccer after some time off, over-30 teams, and players who enjoy a more laid-back game.
The Competitive division will attract teams looking for a fast-paced game that may be more physical than the Recreational level. While it’s open to coed teams, it will primarily attract men’s teams who have experience playing together. This is where we’ll see a lot of our weekly tournament participants playing in order to grab the ultimate annual bragging rights.
Registration for both divisions include:
- Pinnies to differentiate teams. Teams may wear their own jerseys.
- One certified referee for each game.
- A minimum of 3 pool-play games.
- Top teams advance to single elimination playoffs.
- Teams will enjoy the time between games as much as they enjoy the games themselves. Watch games from above the field, partake in off-field activities, and take your shot in the Crossbar Challenge.
- Trophy and medals for champions.
- Swag bag for each participant including samples from our sponsors.
About this facility:
The Canlan SportsPlex features an indoor full size turf soccer field that will be divided into multiple fields by drop-down curtains. When the ball is played out of bounds, it’s restarted with a thrown in. Cleats are allowed. Shin guards are encouraged but not required. This facility offers concessions including drinks, snacks, pizza, nachos, popcorn and hot dogs for purchase. Stick around after the tournament and celebrate with your team, the bar will be open!
Registration Options:
Full teams have complete control over their roster and may have as many or as few players on their roster as they’d like. Captains register the team and invite teammates to join the online roster. Captains pay the full registration fee up front.
Individuals are players, friends, or small groups who do not have a full team. When you sign up as an individual, you will get placed with other individuals to form a full team (max of 10 players per team to guarantee playing time and subs). If you have a group of players but not a full team, please call 312-850-8167 before registering to make sure we can accommodate your whole group. We do our best to accommodate teammate requests for teams of individuals. Payment is due at the time of registration.
No Refunds.
