Erie PA Pickup Soccer

Next game Posted on the schedule page, and announced in the Facebook group first.

Schedule

The night and the field are not set yet. When they are, they go right here.

No game is on the board right now

Games are posted week by week rather than promised forever, and the next one is not up yet. There is nothing to turn up to until it is.

New games are announced in the Facebook group first and appear here the moment they are posted. Signing up is what makes a game happen, so when one is up, the useful thing to do is be on it.

You have to sign up

A game only goes ahead if enough people have signed up. A few hours before kickoff the count is taken: if we are short, the game is called off there and then and everybody who signed up gets an email. Nobody drives out to find six people and no ball.

It takes about thirty seconds and you can take yourself off the list with one click if your plans change. Doing that early is genuinely helpful; doing it an hour before is what kills games.

What to bring

Sides are split red against blue at the field, so you need one shirt of each colour. Plain is fine, old is fine; nobody is looking at the badge.

Red shirt Required
Blue shirt Required

Everything else is up to you, but these three make the difference between an hour of football and a limp home.

Water More than you think. There is no tap.
Shin guards Nobody means to catch you. They do.
Boots Firm ground studs, or trainers on a dry day.

Game day

Games get called off for rain or lightning. Cancellations go to the Facebook group, so check there before you drive out.
