We are a free, volunteer co-ed SOCCER GROUP FOR ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS.
Usually, we have between 20-40 people attend each pick-up. Field is
divided into 2 or 3 games. This park normally keeps the field lights
on until 10 PM, but we play until 9:45 PM so we have time to pack up.
All pick-up games are subject to the lights being on.Rain: If it s
raining or it has rained a few hours before our meetup time, our
pick-up game will be cancelled so we don t unnecessarily damage the
grass :(
Please bring a white and dark colored shirt so we can divide up into
teams. Turf cleats will help preserve the grass field so bring them if
you don t mind wearing them. As always, play at your own risk and
always watch out for your mates on and off the pitch.
Thanks
