Any questions? Reach out to kris@apexsocceracademy.com or kris@5v5soccer.com.
Some request have been made and adjustments and changes updated. This will be the schedule for the next two weeks.
Thank you for your patience and we will see you on Wednesday.
Don't forget about our upcoming tournament on July 26th. The early registeration deadline in July 13th.
Hi everyone,
I've updated the schedules for the next two weeks of play. I'll finalize the remaining three weeks tomorrow.
Please note that some teams have been moved to new divisions, and I've also created a few new divisions. This means some divisions now have an odd number of teams, which makes scheduling the guaranteed two matches per team each night a bit more challenging. Consequently, some teams will have three matches on certain nights.
Thank you for your understanding. I look forward to seeing you all this Wednesday!
Good morning,
I would like to express our sincere gratitude for selecting our Summer 5v5 League as your soccer option this summer. As this is a new league for our club, we are committed to continuously improving it throughout the season and in the years to come, with the aim of making it the premier summer league in Iowa. Please note that while there will be some schedule adjustments for the week of July 9th, the current schedule will remain in effect for this week. We will review all scores from the upcoming matches this Wednesday, as well as those from the past few weeks, to refine the matchups.
Regarding tomorrow's matches, I understand that some teams may have players unable to attend. If you would like to add a player or two to your roster, you are welcome to do so. Please ensure that any new players sign the online waiver before participating.
