PLEASE REVIEW ENTIRE MESSAGE & RSVP

Hello everyone, Dave O'Leary here. I will be the on-site coordinator for our Saturday night games. Chris is still involved, but please use the chat feature to message me directly if you have any questions or concerns. I'm looking forward to seeing you all out there, and will try to run things as smoothly as Chris has in previous seasons.

This year, the price is the same ($9), the number of players is the same (28 per game), and the game set-up is the same: Bring a black and white jersey (no grey, please!), cleats are fine; big field will hold maximum 9v9, smaller field will hold maximum 5v5.

The only difference will be our start time. We are officially booked in from 9.30pm to 10.30 pm. However, please plan to arrive earlier (as early as 9pm), as we may get some bonus time prior to our scheduled kick-off. This is not guaranteed, so if the kids playing before us are not getting off on time, please do not engage with them to do so, as this is only BONUS time we may or may not get every week. I would generally expect that we could feasibly kick off at 9.15pm most weeks, which is extra playing time that we all love. Please be flexible and respectful with this, and we should all benefit.

IMPORTANT: WAIVER FORM

Please use the link below to sing the waiver form. You cannot play unless you have the form signed.

Finally, no RSVP, no playing time. The app works on a wait-list system, so if you cannot make it, or you are not sure if your guest can make it, please make room for a wait-listed player to sign up. I will make lists of what players play where on game nights. First 18 will play on the 9v9 field. Last 10 will play on the 5v5 field. If you have a preference, ask another player to swap if they want to; I'm not going to interfere with that. My goal is to run things smoothly, make sure that we adhere to the 28 player maximum, and to coordinate with Nordic staff if needed. It's run very smoothly in past years; this year should be no different.

Our adult pickup game is recreational and coed. We play for competitive, friendly fun, and minimize dangerous or overly aggressive play.

RULES FOR PICKUP: 1) Play will be limited to 9v9 or smaller-sided games. 2) No slide tackles, hip bumps, or other hard physical contact (focus more on disrupting passes and channels, less on muscling players off the ball), 3) we will play kick-ins from the sidelines for both games, 4) goalies may use their hands.

Keep your fellow footballers safe. Stay healthy. See you on the pitch!
