IsoSoccer is designed with today’s athletes and sports fans in mind.
IsoSoccer is a brand-new sport played on a uniquely designed 40 X 40 yard square court with four goalposts and a 4ft-high boundary fence. It is a spectacular-action, fast-paced game with multi-directional, multi-value, high frequency and double digit goal scoring opportunities.
In IsoSoccer, the ball is kicked, as in soccer; however, two teams of six players each take turns playing defense or offense in each of the two five-minute terms per quarter. Goals are worth 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 points depending on which part of the court they are scored from. Furthermore, the defense team can score a “Takeover” when a defense player is able to enter the center circle with the ball. A takeover is worth 5 points and is similar to a touchdown in American football.
IsoSoccer has been featured in ESPN magazine and on Today in America with Terry Bradshaw seen on ESPN2, Fox Sports Net and Versus (now NBC Sports). We are currently recruiting soccer players of all ages, coaches and referees to participate in upcoming IsoSoccer events.
To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.
Our Story
Creating IsoSoccer
In 2005 Solomon Ofori-Ansah was working as a substitute teacher in the Tulsa Public Schools, and he was often in charge of Physical Education.
But having arrived to the U.S. just a few years prior from Ghana, he was totally unfamiliar with most of the popular P.E. games the students enjoyed. So he began to devise his own games for the students, inspired by some of the soccer games he played growing up in Africa.
His wife helped come up with the name “Iso” from the Greek “Isos,” meaning equal or alike. While isoSoccer shares similarities with soccer, it’s significantly different and exciting and we’re glad to share it with the rest of the world.
“I never imagined that I would create a game or launch a new sport. Out of my lemons, I think, I have made orange juice.” –Solomon Ofori-Ansah, IsoSoccer Creator
