Northwest Austin Soccer: Trailhead Park (Anderson Mill&620)

Friendly Pickup Soccer Games for All Levels
Weekly soccer games for all levels. We play small 3 x 3, 4 x 4, or 5 x 5, etc., on the "grass" (/dirt) at Trailhead Park.
Time: We meet at the time listed for the event (we usually play "last goal wins" starting 5 minutes before the end time).

### Pricing

To help cover the costs of our equipment & field, we have the following pricing options:

• Your first game is always FREE

• If you are not among the first 8 players, it's $5 per game (OR $15 for VIP membership w/ UNLIMITED games for that calendar month, just Venmo [link])

The intent is not to make a profit, but to build a cash reserve to replace equipment as needed: ~~Costs not applicable during the spring/summer season are striked out~~
~~Lights: 2 x 30,000 Lumen lights: $440~~
~~2 x 200 ft Outdoor extension cords: $222~~

### Rules for Playing With This Group

• Help set up and pick up after the game.
• No overly aggressive play – this is pickup, not league play.
• No slide tackles – leaving your feet to get the ball from someone counts as a slide, intentional or unintentional.
• We use the small goals.
• Respect the agreed-upon out-of-bounds – if the ball is kicked out by one team, it changes possession.
• Handballs are called if your arm is away from your body; it becomes a free kick.
• Keep the game going – no arguing. If players involved can’t agree on a foul, the present organizers will have the final say.
• Forwards may not hang back and cherry-pick. Present organizers will call cherry-picking if necessary.
• Shag your shots – balls can get lost if they aren't retrieved. If you shoot and miss the goal, please get the ball while another ball is kicked into play to keep the game moving.
• Communication is good – over-coaching and mean comments take the joy out of the game. This is pickup and meant for fun! 😊
• If you have an idea for a new rule, share it with the organizer, but please do not attempt to introduce a new rule on your own.
• Respect the spirit of the game. All levels are welcome.

If you are unable to abide by these rules, you will receive a warning from an organizer. If the issue persists, you will be removed from the group. We need set guidelines to maintain the spirit of the game.
Cheers! 🎉
