It's that time of year (though you wouldn't guess it from the weather) to get out and play some more footy with your fellow Southsiders and friends. I am planning on starting up the Summer kickaround sessions in the next 2-3 weeks. My plan is this (not finalized yet):
-One night every 2 weeks, at a consistent location (Burnaby Lake East grass fields)
-Looking at Thursday nights from 730-9 give or take
-$5 to cover cost of renting fields
-We'll have nets and can bring cones to play smaller games as well
-Run this until September or October and then move back indoors at 8-rinks
-EVERYONE is welcome, no basic skill level required.
I am just sending this out to gauge people's interest and see if there is a day of the week which works out better for the majority of people before finalizing any details.
Interested for sure
Both ankles are shot, so I won't be able to partake. Fuck. Enjoy.
I am there...that game with Edmonton rekindled my love for playing football, I bought some boots earlier this year in anticipation of playing and have only used them once :(.
In
In.
In - then out - then back in

Zero skill set, but ill be in for a few matches.
Terrible fitness but I'd like to give it a go
im in works for me...i might have a cple ppl that might be interested and that are southsiders from my co-ed rec team
Ok. I have inquired about field rentals, and Grass is about a 1/3 the cost of Turf. I have sent in a request for the grass field at Burnaby Lake East (behind the rugby club) and it just needs to get approved by the maintenance people that it will be acceptable for us to use. I will have confirmation by friday. So here is the plan
Thursday June 28th at 7pm-830ish at Burnaby Lake East grass field.
$5 to cover field rental costs
White and black shirts so we can make teams
If anyone has a net we can use, please bring it. The goal posts will be there, but they lack netting.
This is all based on weather, so if it rains alot between now and the 28th, we'll be cancelling the session.
added to the Southsiders Google Calendar
I'm out of town for a week as of the 28th but will join you boys upon my return.
Field rental was just finalized! Looking forward to seeing you all out on the pitch on Thursday! Please bring $5 to cover field rental. And remember, please bring 2 t-shirts(one light, one dark) for making teams easily. This kickaround is open to all members and friends of the Southsiders.
SEE YOU THURSDAY AT 7PM AT BURNABY LAKE EAST!
Should we bring two shirts, one light and one dark? Did you notice how Bob Lenarduzzi said he wouldn't comment on rumours, then he comments on a rumour?
Will be out of town for the first one, but should be around after that.
Is Leathers coming too?
that's the rummor
He's put on some weight then ;-)
I'll be there. Come embarrass the fat guy!
Not sure if I can break away from work tonight. We have one particular idot that is quite a handful... They need all the big and ugly with all hands on deck...
I like Friday nights best
Cleats are in the car.

Thats where they belong. ready to go when needed
I think I'm here. Don't see any soccer players.
Good group tonight. 7 v. 7. Thanks Kris for setting it up.
Great turnout, very glad to get the numbers we did given the (light to nil) rain. Looking at scheduling for July 19th. That's the first Thursday after I get back from the epic roadtrip.
A few people had difficulty with 7pm (myself included) Thoughts on moving it back? 730 or 8?
Ok. I have inquired about the field for Thursday July 19th and I will get confirmation from Burnaby tomorrow morning. There's been some decent damage from the rain apparently. I will post up here as soon as I know anything.
