Next Match ~ Saturday, June 19, 2010

Stay alert ... indeed. I wish we were all talking about an Altidore goal rather than Green's gaffe, but we will certainly take 1-1. Hopefully, we can put a few into the back of the net the traditional way against Slovenia.

And to support our team(s), we will play the beautiful game tomorrow morning, Saturday, June 18, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. at Evendale Recreation, Field #2, which was freshly lined and mowed yesterday. Grab your boots, along with your white and dark shirts (and likeminded friends), and get in your weekend cardio!

And while it is sort of a "commitment" if you post a comment, BE BOLD and actually announce that you are "IN" for the match tomorrow by posting a comment below.

Go Team U.S.A.!!

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.
