The rules

1. Put your name down before you come. No signup, no headcount, no game.
2. Ages 16+. Under 18 needs a parent or guardian's okay.
3. You play at your own risk. No league, no insurance, no ref, no trainer.
4. Honest calls. Nobody officiates, so call your own fouls and live with them.
5. No slide tackles, no studs up, no reckless play.
6. You're responsible for any damage you cause to the field or facilities.
7. Bring water and a RED shirt AND a BLUE shirt. Shin guards recommended.
8. Show up 10 minutes early. Late means you sub in at the next goal.
9. Teams are picked evenly at the field. Keeper rotates each goal.
10. No ads, no promos, no selling.

Why they matter

Nobody is in charge out there. There is no referee, no trainer, no insurance and no organization standing behind any of this. It is people who like soccer meeting up in a park. That only works if everybody plays honestly and keeps it safe.

Minors play in these games. Keep it clean, keep your feet down, and call your own fouls.
