Who wants to start one? Registration for Summer I session ends May 7th and the price is $700 for a team (ouch).
The more people we get the cheaper it will be. Hell, we could even get a bunch of shirts and write our usernames on the back. 4/17/2007 3:38:37 PM |

The Factory isn't a luxury place to play but it's relatively cheap. Some of the refs are kind of idiots though. I played a couple of seasons there but stopped.
I'll play Gronke, but not for 700 a team. 4/17/2007 4:41:49 PM |

And if anyone knows anywhere else, I'd be glad to hear ideas. Soccer Dome was just the only place that I've played at so far, so that's where I've looked at first.

Soccer Dome is terrible. I play in the adult co-ed league at the factory, as well. I also play pickup there on wednesday and friday nights.
and $700 per team seems to be the de facto price
although I wouldn't pay $7 to play at Soccer Dome, much less $700

FuhCtious All American 11955 Posts user info edit post |
How many games are on the schedule? When are the games? I am interested. I played in a winter league in Greensboro at the Sportsplex. I personally like their fields because they use indoor/outdoor turf and the boards are much higher, but I play at the Soccer Dome Sunday mornings in pickup games from time to time. I don't have much time anymore, though, but the summer is perfect. Depending on the time for games and stuff I'm down.
Also, 700 a team isn't bad depending on the number of games. Soccer Dome plays 6-7 on the field at a time, so a 10 man team would put you at about 5-7 bucks a game depending on the season length, which is about average. 4/18/2007 2:27:06 PM |

if no one else is in line first, i could keep...i'm a pretty good shot stopper, but long distribution was always my weak point; shouldn't be an issue indoors. again, contingent on not conflicting with hockey. 4/18/2007 4:38:16 PM |

That price was from the soccer dome. http://www.goestores.com/catalog.aspx?Merchant=soccerdomeamerica&DeptID=219984
If anyone posting in here is SERIOUS about it, as in they are fine with the price and paying for it and everything, then PM me and I can make up a list.
Here are the game schedules:
Adult Open Sunday/Tuesday Games Adult Co-Ed Wednesday/Thursday Games
If we get at least 7 people or so then it will be $100 a person, 10 people will be $70 a person, I don't really want more than 10 because I know that we'd all like some playing time.4/18/2007 6:01:44 PM |

6 people a side, 5 field 1 keeper
i would suggest getting 8-10 cause people dont show up sometimes 4/18/2007 10:18:17 PM |
aaronian All American 3299 Posts user info edit post |
personally, if I played 50+ for a season, I'd show up to every game. early.
but thats irrelevant because I couldn't play during the summer. 4/18/2007 10:50:09 PM |
mienutzich All American 4300 Posts user info edit post |
whats the deal with all the bitching about the cost?
I'm not aware of a single soccer league in raleigh that costs less that 700 a team.
i've never played at the soccer dome but...
played one season at the carolina sports plex out in morrisville - the league is alright but easily the worst of the arenas
played the past 4 seasons at the factory - fairly nice arena - easy to get pissed off about the reffing(maybe only one good ref), other teams(red cards are common and we have almost had a brawl after a game - and thats coed), or the organization of the league(johnny is a moron)
tasl - if you do the summer heat you play a short field with 7 on a side, not to mention half the fields are artificial turf now so it would be fairly similar to indoor, but this would prob cost more 4/18/2007 11:39:49 PM |
twolfpack3 All American 2573 Posts user info edit post |
^Maybe 700 a team is normal for soccer, but that's WAY more than most sport leagues. The baseball & softball leagues only run ~425 & they have more players.
I don't know about you, but 80-90 a person for a 6-7? week league is alot to some people.
I'd play if you needed a keep, but I couldn't pay more than 50. 4/19/2007 12:40:21 AM |

Quote : | "or the organization of the league(johnny is a moron)" |
ahahaha
the best that place was ever run was when Sarah was there
not only was she HOTTER THAN ALL FUCK, but she actually paid attention
Johnny doesn't have any excuse to be as inept as he is
but it also makes me think that it may not just be him, because Andy had problems too, and as much as I liked Andy, he did f the schedule up sometimes, wouldn't notify people when their games had been rescheduled, etc
I've heard really bad things about the big guy in charge at the factory, so that may be the problem
also, the reffing is notoriously bad. there are 2 good refs. Vinny, and John. The fat dude that looks like Milton? dump him. The black dude (who I haven't seen in a while) who blows the whistle and wont tell you what the call is? dump him.4/19/2007 6:53:50 AM |
mienutzich All American 4300 Posts user info edit post |
^^ you will probably get around 10 people on a team and most leagues are at least 8 weeks long. i can't think of any reason why it would be that much more expensive that baseball either, but its the average rate of any of the leagues around here.
^ I never dealt with Sarah or Andy
I can't imagine anybody having problems with scheduling like Johnny does - scheduling games christmas eve - scheduling games new years eve - scheduling games on easter then rescheduling during the middle of the week without telling anybody - scheduling us to play a single team 4 times in one season in an 8 team league - consistently releasing the game schedule over the same weekend the games are actually starting - completely redoing the schedule 3 weeks into the season because it wasnt until this point that he realized a team had not paid yet
i'm sure one of the refs you are talking about is the white haired guy. He is a great ref. The fat guy is atrocious. Pedro's been the ref for the other half of the games because they can't get anybody else to come out there. Oh and johnny is easily the worst of any ref. 4/19/2007 8:37:25 AM |

redirish All American 1299 Posts user info edit post |
I'd gladly play but I'm already on another team at Soccer Dome. The place isn't the greatest facility wise, but its a decent work out. The scheduling can be a bit of a pain at times but not huge issues really over 3 seasons I've played out there.
I would advise at least 10 people per team though because people will have schedule conflicts from time to time. I think we're carrying 11 this season and we've usually had no trouble having at least 2 subs. Unless you have some really good players though I would advise starting in a lower league until you figure out what you've got (coed-b or mens-c) because there are actually a good number of pretty skilled players that play out there. 4/19/2007 9:55:55 AM |

i agree with everything mienutzich said about the factory
i have the same complaints - hell i actually tried to just not pay this time to see if anyone would bitch and i made it about halfway through and the only reason he caught me is because i was on the house team last league and he just carried everyone over and assumed i was there - if i wasn't ever on the list i would have been okay
i was putting on my socks getting ready to head out for the game on easter - mad we had one scheduled - when i got a phone call from a friend telling me there wasn't a game and the schedule i had from the beginning when the league started had changed... 4/19/2007 10:12:28 AM |
