Winter League Opening Day by the Numbers

Inter CT FC's SONO League officially began this past Sunday, December 5th, at our SONO Field House in Norwalk. This traditional indoor league allows current & prospective players to challenge themselves with fast-paced competition under the age-appropriate guidance/instruction from our Inter CT coaching staff. 

Sunday kicked-off the Winter season for our Boys teams, with players ranging from the 2008 - 2014 age groups. Across 4 hours of afternoon play, Inter CT hosted 10 separate 7v7 games on all 3 of our small-sided turf fields. 

Twenty different teams competed for their first victories on opening day. Our Indoor team names feature a range of familiar favorites like EPL giants Manchester City & Liverpool, as well as the Bundasliga's FC Bayern Munich & Serie A's Juventus. Others include hometown favorites of our coaching staff like Nottingham Forest and Leyton Orient, teams currently playing in the English Football Championship & English Football League 2 respectively.

Although many of our teams had a mix of players competing with one another for the first time, there was no shortage of quality — and with quality, came goals! 

All of our teams played their inaugural games with two,  22-minute halves. Across ten games, players managed to find the back of the net a whopping 99 times. Our goalkeepers saw an incredible amount of action, and defenses were put to the test from some intense attacking play. Across all competitions, Day 1 featured an average of 9.9 goals per game. With 440 total minutes of play, that was an average of 1 goal every 4.4 minutes!

Needless to say, we hope players are ready to bring the same intensity, as well as a desire to learn from their first games, in Week 2.

*Boys 2008-'14 SONO League action resumes at 12pm on Sunday the 12th; this also marks the beginning of our High School Boys League.
