Match on Saturday, June 12, 2010 at 9:00 a.m.

Great turnout last weekend, as we had 11v11 full-sided play on Field #2 (although the larger field definitely had everyone working hard). Highlights included some outstanding goalkeeping by Norm, the usual assortment of blistering shots by Rocket, a screamer from about 20-yards out by Justin, and several sibling rivalries throughout the match (Shadleys and Gorsuches).

Absence a change necessitated by our poll (and please vote in the poll to the right), we will play again this Saturday, June 12, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. on Field #2. Please bring light and dark shirts, and be on time!!

Jogo Bonito!

The Evendale FC Rules

The Evendale FC is a co-ed, weekly RECREATIONAL pickup soccer match, intended for adults who want to enjoy a reasonably "competitive" game for fun and exercise. There are dozens of competitive soccer leagues in town (indoor and outdoor) ... this is not one of them. We strictly enforce the following rules, which are designed and intended to reduce and prevent injuries to our players:

1. No Slide Tackling. There is no slide tackling of any kind, from any directions. Stay on your feet at all times.

2. No Challenges from Behind. Players must be "goalside" of the player in possession of the ball before they can play defense or challenge for possession of the ball. In other words, once beaten, you must outrun the player in possession of the ball AND get goalside again before you can play defense. It is ALWAYS more important to avoid injury than to prevent a goal.

3. Caution on 50/50 Balls. If you and an opponent are running at the same ball in open space, BOTH players are expected to use caution and slow enough to avoid a collision. It is ALWAYS more important to avoid a collision than win possession of the ball.

4. No Charging the Keeper. Both players and keepers must use caution to avoid a collision, with priority given to keepers fairly calling players off of the ball. It is ALWAYS more important to avoid injury than to score a goal.

5. Fair Substitutions. Whenever there are subs waiting to play, please be courteous and take your fair turn to sub out. Subs should rotate back in every 10 minutes. The same is true with the keeper position. Please take your fair turn at the keeper position, when needed, except for Steve B., who is prohibited from playing keeper.
