Southsiders FC - Co-Ed Team

krisaug5 · Post edited by krisaug5 at 2013-02-06 09:31:17

After having taken a bit of a friendly verbal shellacking from a few female members on Saturday (you know who you are), I am re-opening this idea:

I would like to have a co-ed soccer team of Southsiders members join a league in the spring/summer. I know of 2 leagues we could join, but I'm open to other suggestions.
A) 8-rinks, Burnaby, March-September, Fri-Sun nights, weekly games, 20 games ~$180 per person
B) Sportstown, Richmond, January-March or March-Sept, Sat-Mon nights, weekly games, 14 games ~$140 per person
C) UrbanRec OUTDOOR, Vancouver, Sun-Thurs depending on field, weekly games, 12 games, ~$90 per person

One of the rules of coed is that there must always be 2 girls on the field. This means that we reasonably need 5-6 girls on the team so that if people can't make it for any reason, we still have enough girls there. 6 is a good number for subs and contingencies. I will need an accurate count so we can make sure that this is going to happen and then I can get organizing jerseys, league registration and such.

If you are interested please state if you want to play option A, B, or C or suggest another option, and mention your gender as some forum names aren't obvious for that.

Edited to add Option C

Urban Rec, outdoor 7-a-side. ~$75-100 per person.

:P

Sunday through Thursday, depending on which field you want to play on. $1000 for a team, between ~15 people, 12 weeks of games.

Hi Kris, I'm in. My vote is for Sportstown.

Peacock

The Utting's are in. We both vote for UrbanRec Oudoor.

bah

You already know I'm in! I'm indifferent as to where we play.

Blueprint

In for sure. (prefer Urban Rec, but open)

BianconeroSouthsider

I'm wondering, I'm done school in May, would it be possible to register for this and play from then until the end of the season?

krisaug5

Depending on when the season starts and ends yeah most likely. We could use a good keeper so I can move back to my usual RB spot

BianconeroSouthsider

I can discuss it when I'm back in the spring, but most likely I would love to play.

Lord_Bob

I'd be in for outdoor (option C (I'm a dude)).

JP82

Kris me my wife would be down for outdoor with urban rec--we already play in the league on Sundays and its alot of fun...

poochike

I would love to play. Outdoor, option C and I'm a guy.

cannonboom

Very cool. I'm a gal.

B) Sportstown, Richmond, January-March or March-Sept, Sat-Mon nights, weekly games, 14 games ~$140 per person

krisaug5

Ok. I've just checked with UrbanRec again and registration for their winter league starts next week. It's 7v7 and we must have 2 of each gender on the field at any time. Means realistically we're looking at 5 women, 5 men minimum.

It's 10 weeks long and starts the week of January 7th (depends on which location we play at as to which day of the week we play).
The fields are:
Thunderbird Stadium - mon-thurs
Trillium Park - Wednesdays
Jericho Park - Tuesdays
Memorial Park - Sundays
Andy Livingstone - Sundays or Thursdays.

I'm sorting out the cost, but it sounds like we'd be at around the $70 per person mark. Most locations are rain or shine as they are all played on turf fields. Are people interested in this, or should we way for the spring/summer season to be announced?

I'll sort out the jersey situation once I get a confirmation from players. Please indicate on here if you're interested (including which field), as well as sending me a PM with your name, contact info (phone and email) and which location you'd prefer.

Thanks!

bah

Wow, those are a lot of different options! I like the Trillium option the best I think, but am amenable to the Memorial/Andy Livingston options as well. Thanks for organizing this!

Would a person who plays rugby (out while waiting for shoulder surgery) but hasn't really played a lick of organized soccer (but watches enough of it to play the game; I was at the Edmonton FC kickaround though!) be allowed to play? I'm a dude.

If so: C) UrbanRec OUTDOOR, Vancouver, Sun-Thurs depending on field, weekly games, 12 games, ~$90 per person

Preferably Trillium Park and/or Andy Livingston (preferably on Sundays, but Thursdays are fine too.) as they are the most transit accessible (I'm coming in from Surrey/SFU Burnaby as a student)

Might as well find something to do instead of playing rugby!

7semiao

I'd be in for Trillium or Memorial

Peacock

Chris and David are in. No preference to where we play.

Addict

Me too

krisaug5

1 girl and 5 guys so far.

Where are all the soccer playing female Southsiders out there?

JP82

me n the wife play on sunday nights at memorial so any other day would work for both of us

Great. I think we're almost set for male players now. I'll put you and the the missus down, which will bring our roster now to 7 males and 2 females.

I'd like to get at least 3 more females so that we can have subs/spares for if someone needs to work or is sick or some such.

JP82

ya she is a nurse so she might miss some games cause of work (shift work)

krisaug5

Based on input, central field location, and avoiding conflicts with the Southsiders indoor team, our best bet is to go with Trillium Park on Wednesdays.

JP82

also you will at least need two male subs ideally..

Koelie

I'll play. Wed I have dodgeball until the second week of feb, and Sunday eves are my home game time at trillium for women's outdoor. I'm in for b or c options - Richmond is too far to go on a consistent basis for me. I

madman

Can play Kris as well if u need one more!

cannonboom

I gotta sort out an urban rec multi-sport team and which night that'll be on in January... was the urban rec indoor option nixed?

Richmond Leagues (6-on-6) Registration: Opens November 13, 2012 at 12:15pm Location: Richmond Olympic Oval Days of the Week: Wednesday & Thursday Start Date: Week of January 7, 2012 Team Fee: $893.00 + HST Game Times: 7:00pm-11:00pm Length: 14 weeks

krisaug5

Indoor ones arent even turf which is why we wanted to steer away from those ones

Blueprint

Im in for Trillium -

My suggestion would be to have a couple extra subs 'cause its amazing how fast numbers dwindle on nights when its pissing rain and 3 degrees...

krisaug5

Trying to get the numbers up. I believe 4-6 women, 7 men so far.

bah

I'll see if some of the girls from my indoor team want to join us.

TanayaS

Hey, I'm a girl and I'd love to join. I'm on a team right now but it's over at the end of December. Just got back into soccer so don't expect too much right away.

krisaug5

Great! welcome to the team. That should put us at 5 -7 women now (Just waiting on confirmation from a few).

I will submit the registration on the 13th, and will collect fees from everyone once I've done so. I expect it to be about $70-80 per person

I'm out as will be at the Oval on Weds. Have fun!

krisaug5

Registration opens today at 12:15 and I'll be registering us. From that point, I'll need everyone's contact info, and once I get a finalized number of players, I'll be asking for money (At the AGM please), and we'll sort out jerseys. If you haven't already, please provide me with an email address, phone number, and jersey size.

Those of you already on the men's indoor team, there is no guarantee at the moment that we'll be using the same jerseys for both teams, so please provide me with your size.

krisaug5 · Post edited by krisaug5 at 2012-11-13 12:23:21

That's it, we're registered! Looking forward to the upcoming season!

Note: When sending me your information, please let me know what option you'd like to exercise if we need to purchase our jerseys, whether you want a cheaper t-shirt, or a more expensive but better quality jersey. (This is a back-up in case we can't get any donated for the team)

krisaug5

I've just sent out an email to everyone. Please read it, and respond to it so that I know you got it. I would hate for my emails to end up in your junk mail on a regular basis.
Thanks!

krisaug5

I need everyone's jersey size and prefered number (give me a few in case I can't get you your first choice) and I will get looking at the orders. Looks like we can get both a white and a dark jersey from Soccer Express for about $50 for the pair. I'll need everyone's sizes before I get an exact quote.

krisaug5

I just sent out an email to everyone. Please read it and reply to acknowledge it before the end of the week. I'd like to get the shirts ordered so we can ensure we have them in time for the start of our season.

FootyMonster

Where are you guys playing, Trillium on Wednesdays?

krisaug5

That is correct

How the hell did you get that spot? It sold out right away! Inside job? :D

For once, the board had just enough power.

krisaug5

I pushed back a sim booking so I would be free and was online to register for it LITERALLY the minute it was available.

Koelie

You rock Kris!

krisaug5

Jerseys have been ordered, expecting them early in the new year (before our first game) so please check your emails as I've been sending you guys all updates. Please get your payment to me asap, and if you can, please come to the kickaround on January 5th so we can all meet each other and play partially as a team so we can get used to how everyone plays. See you you then!

bah

I'm out for the kickaround - we get back on the 6th.
