Open Play at the Dome – 5-7pm [5-6pm 2018-2014] [6-7pm 2013-2011]
Powered by Missoula Surf Soccer Club
At Missoula Surf, we believe that the game is the teacher — and there’s no better classroom than unstructured play.
Our Open Play events at the Dome are designed to give players the space, freedom, and creativity to explore the game on their own terms. No coaches. No drills. Just pure soccer.
Why Open Play?
Unstructured play is a cornerstone of player development around the world. It allows players to:
Express creativity and develop individual flair
Problem-solve in real-time, without guided instruction
Build instinctive decision-making and game intelligence
Play in a low-pressure, high-fun environment that fosters a love of the game
Learn leadership, collaboration, and communication — all through play
Research shows that unstructured play enhances cognitive flexibility, social development, and long-term passion for sport. By stepping back, we allow players to take ownership of their growth — and that’s where real development begins.
More Than Just Soccer — It’s Community
Open Play is also about bringing people together. These events are open to players of all skill levels and ages, providing a welcoming environment for kids to connect, compete, and build friendships through the game.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, Open Play is where you find joy in the game and a place in the Surf family.
Come play. Come learn. Come belong.
Check our schedule and join us for the next Open Play session at the Dome — where the lights stay on, the game keeps going, and the community keeps growing.
