Friday soccer in the West Potomac Fields (by Ohio Dr) late afternoon (Co-Ed)
Join us for a pickup on a weekday! Group is relatively small which means you will get to show your skill and run quite a bit ! It is a co-ed game and open to all. Once the players limit is reached, no player will be admitted into the game. We already got a number of players confirmed OFFLINE as guests of Host(s) through Signal. *Those in waitlist will be moved to the confirmed list only when spot becomes available.*
*The games RULES are as below, fair play and camaraderie must be followed*.
â˝ It is a friendly game, no slide or back tackling, no rough play, and no greedy play or coaching.
â˝ Join the **Signal group**, Download ***[Signal app](https://signal.org/download/)*** and ***[join the Signal group](https://signal.group/#CjQKIBolYKIpshcX_ooOu_fmV7xlbEeJm5zBZ6_V8uTiuFNOEhAk5KeXU1QFVt39OBRP106d)*** for the game day updates. *Firstcomer, SEE the host to approve you to join the group*.
â˝ No groupism or favors, everyone gets to play without regard for the level be it starter, intermediate or advanced. One must pass ball to appropriate fellow players without favors or preference to a particular player(s).
â˝ **You are expected to change positions**, no one is permanent striker or defense, make sure you circle around and give chance to everyone to experience the game fully. Rotate and offer to play full back or defense too not just forward.
â˝In case of disagreement during the game, the **host acts as a referee** so the game stays smooth and enjoyable to everyone.
â˝ You must bring WHITE as well as DARK jersies (and ball too if you can).
â˝ Send DM to host(s) on Signal if you have questions. (NOT to the group except on the game day not more than one hour before the game to reduce distractions)
â˝ Look out for the changes in location of the field in case we would have to change the field.
â˝ Change your RSVP if needed. More than two no shows after RSVP will be banned for next games. If you need to cancel, do so at least 3 or 4 hours before the game. We do not want to have a low turn out due to last minute cancellations or no shows.
â˝ Additional guest must RSVP themselves to ensure personal accountability in case of no shows.
â˝ We typically post the updates on Signal and MeetUp.
â˝ DM host or reply DM if you want to be confirmed to the group.
We may get some players confirmed OFFLINE. We limit the RSVP slots to avoid being a large group. If we will have enough players, we will have second game too.
Be mindful of heavy traffic on the day and parking challenges of a typical city! Finding parking and arriving on time is your responsibility, so do not expect others to provide you directions or guide about parking spots.

April Meetup: Three Days in June by Anne Tyler
Note: RSVPs for this meetup opens when our previous one ends.
For April, we will be reading Three Days in June by Anne Tyler. The Hardcover runs 165 pages. It was published in 2025.
The GoodReads blurb is
**A new Anne Tyler novel destined to be an instant classic: a socially awkward mother of the bride navigates the days before and after her daughter's wedding.**
Gail Baines is having a bad day. To start, she loses her jobâor quits, depending on whom you ask. Tomorrow her daughter, Debbie, is getting married, and she hasnât even been invited to the spa day organized by the mother of the groom. Then, Gailâs ex-husband, Max, arrives unannounced on her doorstep, carrying a cat, without a place to stay, and without even a suit.
But the true crisis lands when Debbie shares with her parents a secret she has just learned about her husband to be. It will not only throw the wedding into question but also stir up Gail and Maxâs past.
Told with deep sensitivity and a tart sense of humor, full of the joys and heartbreaks of love and marriage and family life, *Three Days in June* is a triumph, and gives us the perennially bestselling, Pulitzer Prizeâwinning writer at the height of her powers

BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a âdynamic, emotional and surprising journeyâ and a âcompelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.â Others call the film, an âincredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like itâs on the verge of a thriller!â TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s
