CEDAR RAPIDS INDOOR SOCCER TEAM

Great news people, Cedar Rapids is putting together a semi professional indoor soccer team, which will compete around the Midwest and the rest of the nation. The arena is going to be located in Cedar Rapids and I believe that most of the players are going to come from Cedar Rapids. For you guys who don't know, Cedar Rapids is a City in Iowa and the diversity of soccer is about seven out of ten. There a lot of regular soccer clubs in Iowa as a whole and there are a good number of clubs in Cedar Rapids namely, FC United, Cedar Rapids soccer Association, and Marion soccer club. Note that most of these clubs start from little strikers to under eighteen for both boys and girls teams.


The development of this new indoor semi professional soccer club brings up some questions but also some great developments to the Cedar Rapids and Iowa community. A question that comes to mind is, what age group is it going to be? Is it going to be under 18, 17, 16, 19, what age group? I very well know some semi professional clubs are all ages the only requirement is that you have to tryout and make the team. I am guessing that it is going to be either under 18 and or no age division.


Another question that comes to mind is whether the players are only going to be from Cedar Rapids and or other Iowa cities? Since it is specifically named Cedar Rapids indoor soccer club, I imagine that it is going to be composed of players mainly from the Cedar Valley area. For some of you out there who do not know, Cedar Valley is the group name of cities around Cedar Rapids, for example, Cedar falls, Iowa City, Waterloo etc. It might be made up of soccer players from the Cedar Valley area or from only Cedar Rapids.


A basic question that I also think about is whether the team is going to be an all male team or an all female team only. I am leaning more on an all male team but on occasion I think that there is the probability that it is going to be an all female team. I think that it is going to be an all male team because the men's soccer division in Iowa is more competitive than that of the female division. I also think that it is going to be an all female team for 2 reasons, 1 been that women in Iowa are more engaged in soccer than men. Secondly, I think it will be an all female team because of development of gender equality in sports. The team made an all female team will promote the empowerment of women, increasing their self esteem, and prepare them to take leadership positions in and out of their households.

Overall I think that the new soccer team will have very good effects in Iowa. The team will put the name of Cedar Rapids under the spotlight which will bring tourists, and people looking to grow a business in a more and more developing city. The city will see an economic growth especially in the sports divisions specifically in the soccer area. The Iowa Premier soccer league will be forced to raise its standard and develop good players who could grow up to represent the Midwest and United States Men's national team. The organization of this new indoor soccer semi professional club team will lead to the formation of different semi professional teams in other sports like basketball, football, volleyball, swimming, track etc.
