with Arrival of Las Vegas Legends
Legends become 15th team in nationwide Professional Arena Soccer League
Las Vegas has a new professional sports team to call its own. The Las Vegas Legends indoor soccer team was introduced today as the newest expansion team in the Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL). The Legends are donning shin guards and cleats to vie for supremacy against the league’s 14 other teams, in such cities as Dallas, San Diego and Cincinnati. The Legends will play at least 10 home games in their inaugural season at the Orleans Arena.
“Residents of Las Vegas are craving more professional sports and we are sure they will really enjoy the action and competitiveness of indoor soccer,” says Meir Cohen, general manager and president of Las Vegas Legends. “We have hired a legendary player as our head coach and are eager to field a strong team.”
Renowned player, Greg Howes, the second leading goal scorer of all-time in the Major Indoor Soccer League, MISL, will coach the Las Vegas Legends.
Season tickets can be reserved immediately for the Legends’ ten home games. Kids’ season tickets are priced at $80 while adult season tickets cost $144. There are additional options, including Premier for $240, a Season Family Four-Pack for $400 and Season VIP for $480. To reserve season tickets, call 702-888-0319 or visit www.lasvegaslegends.com .
“We are sure to have the best fan base in the entire league and with affordable ticket prices the entire family can watch the action without having to break the bank,” added Cohen.
Open Tryouts
Everyone has a chance to be a sports star as open tryouts are being held for Las Vegas residents the week of August 20-25 at Las Vegas Indoor Soccer Complex, located at 1400 N. Rampart Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89128. Additionally, there is a national tournament being held in Las Vegas on Sept. 1 and 2 that will serve as an opportunity for tryouts as scouts from the Legends will be grading each player.
Indoor soccer is a faster-paced game than traditional soccer as it’s played on a smaller pitch and has fewer players. The field of play is 200’ long and 85’ wide, encased in hockey-style boards and plexiglass. Each team fields six players, including the goalkeeper, leading to a greater need for speed and accuracy.
