2010–11 Professional Arena Soccer League season

The 2010–11 Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL-Pro) season is the third season for the American arena soccer league. The season kicked off on Friday November 12, when the Louisville Lightning hosted the Cincinnati Kings. A new feature for the 2010–11 season was the Frontier Division. The Frontier Division featured teams above the level of PASL-Premier but not ready for the higher travel demands and costs of the PASL-Pro. Frontier teams played an abbreviated 12-game schedule, with a mixture of PASL-Pro, PASL-Premier, and other Frontier Division opponents. The 2010–2011 PASL playoffs were held in the Cincinnati Gardens, home of the newly rechristened Cincinnati Kings.[1]
