Inter United has finally found a league where it feels comfortable. The Roseville League, suggested by Peter Trofin has shown a friendly atmosphere, affordable costs for a sponsorless team and competitive enough quality level as well as fair play that unfortunately is not seen in the hispanic leagues we have played before. The only downside is that it only plays for 8 weeks and does not have a winter version meaning we will be soon again without competition if we don't move fast. We have learnt that leagues like the Minnesota International League (where we played the 2004-2005 winter season) start play in October and are near to close registrations. It would be nice if to have some options that allow us to continue to play in a similar format as the one we have right now. A 9 v 9 playing field with no boards is the ideal but if not possible we have to consider other options. An indoor league at the National Sports Center in Blaine with a 6v6 format is an option and the proposed solution would be to split the team and have a +38 Inter United play on Wednesdays and a competitive Inter United on Thursdays. Another option would be to go back to playing the Minneaota International League which plays 9v9 on Saturdays at Augsburg College. Corner Kick and Soccer blast also have leagues but they have 6v6 format that would not allow for all current Inter United players to be on the winter team. We know that several Inter United players play for other teams in different leagues and they might know about other options. Woodbury, Eden Prairie, Stillwater and Plymouth, for example have domes but we don't know which leagues play there. Please let us know what your preferences are for winter play since we have to make a decision by the first week of October or end up not playing in the winter.

We have heard many complins about the leagues we have played in the past so the ideal is to find a new 9v9 league were everyone who is currently on the team cn play. If we dont find one I would vote to play in Blaine with two age group teams.
Hi,
I like Plymouth and Augsburg, due to location. The two groups in Blaine might work (i'm under 38, btw :). Burnsvile has very nice/competitive leagues too.

The best choice would be to play in a league that plays 9v9.

i'm back from montreal and 9v9 on the week-end would be ideal. if not, the under-38 team would work for me. thanks.
As long as there are 9vs9 players, I think that is better, we have enaugh players, and also winter is not that busy, so people can show up.
Augsburg I think is pretty good place, and I saw some teams playing there, they are pretty good, but now dependes of what league is> Thanks for everything guys, I know I give some of u hard time...:( sorry!
