What to Wear
We are playing outdoors on a synthetic turf field. You may wear cleats, turf shoes, or gym shoes. Shin guards are highly recommended but not required. Bring a white shirt and a black shirt in case pinnies are not available.

What to Expect
Show up early! The games will begin at the time posted for this event. Players may start checking in with the event host as early as 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. If the field is available, you may begin warming up before the event begins. We will provide a game ball.

Level of Play
Males and females 19 or older of all skill levels are invited to play. There is no required gender ratio. We do our best to create even teams for well-matched games. There are no referees, so players need to play with sportsmanship and make their own calls. We aim to make everyone feel welcome at these events.
