**Main Description**
**First thing, don't speed in the forest preserve**. We've had a few individuals get pulled over / ticketed for going like 25 (the limit is 15).
**More people show up than the number that RSVP!** We usually have at least a game of 5-on-5 going, and almost, almost always have at least 7-on-7. (Winter games are the exception. We still play, but numbers are often weaker.)
We are a pick-up game. Not any sort of championship game. Don't worry about "letting your team down" or anything like that. This is a great way to get outside, get in a good amount of running, and to meet new friends.
**All ages and ability levels are welcome \~ *we really mean this.*** Our youngest player was 10 (now 11 or 12), our oldest was 73 before he called it quits (he still comes to picnics). We have a group of people that play multiple times a week in leagues, and then we have new players come who we teach to play on the field. Some of us are in really good physical shape - others get winded after a few runs up the field. It is a great time and you will fit right in!
The most important thing - this is a pickup game. Our skill levels vary quite a bit. Again, we have league/club/college players and we have completely new folks. If you want to be competitive, match up against someone else playing competitively. If you're a beginner, match up against the other beginners **(And ask questions!)**. We enjoy learning strategy, playing a good game, and getting in a workout - but we are mainly out here to play and **have fun.**
We distinguish teams by "light" colors (usually white) and "dark" colors (usually everything else). Try to bring a WHITE and a dark (NOT GREY) to each game, so we can make teams even. At the very least, **please don't wear grey.** It's neither light nor dark and is really good at confusing people in the heat of the game.
The games basically run themselves. So when you come, **just jump in.** Everyone is really friendly. We were all new to the group once before.
