I love the enthusiasm for our game. I've been hearing from players looking for the start of the new season for a couple weeks so. So we're going to kick off a bit early with a preseason game. Here's the schedule:
Saturday 9/15/07: "Preaseason Game" - 9:00 AM at McNeil. We'll play for about 2 hours and use our scrimmage rules (what we used to use in our old "practice drives" for those of you who played 2+ years ago) since endurance will likely be low.
Saturday 9/22/07: first "Real Game" - 9:00 AM at McNeil. This will be a normal game - 3 hours and standard rules.
I'm looking forward to a great season with old and new friends, few injuries to any players and maybe, hopefully timely starts. Given the high level of interest in this game and getting started again, I would hope that of the enthusiasm would be demonstrated in arrival times. The intent is to have games start at 9:00 so we can get a good three hours in and then meet other obligations to work or family. 9:00 start requires guys to get to the field by 8:45 to put on cleats, stretch, and warm-up. Last year we were lucky to begin games at 9:30 because so many people showed up.
Some of our regulars will be at ACL Fest and miss the Preseason Game, the rest we'll hopefully see at McNeil.
