The National Sports Center is excited to roll out a new adaptive division for its annual March Mayhem Indoor Soccer Tournament. The division, which carries the same rules as other divisions in the tournament, has been created to reach a new audience of soccer players at the National Sports Center. It is designed to provide a safe, yet competitive environment for participants with intellectual disabilities.
At the NSC, we strive to host competitive and inclusive events. The new adaptive division is an opportunity to expand our reach to all soccer players and to make new connections in the state of Minnesota. We look forward to expanding soccer opportunities at March Mayhem and at additional events in 2023.
About the Adaptive Division
Eligibility
The March Mayhem adaptive divisions are designed to provide a safe, yet competitive environment for participants with intellectual disabilities. Participants in these divisions have had introductory experience playing soccer and are generally familiar with competitive game or scrimmage playing rules.
Middle School Adapted Division (11-14 yrs. old)
High School Adapted Division (14-18 yrs. old)
Playing Environment
All games will be played at the National Sports Center in the M Health Fairview Dome. The dome will have 6-8 small-sided, artificial turf fields being used throughout the event. Adaptive division games will be on the south end of the dome, allowing one side of the field to be free of other game activity. Participants can expect crowd and game noise from other fields to be heard throughout the facility.
