All my physical activity time is taken up by biking, hiking and martial arts (6 classes per week).

The point of my post was that you had to be the coach. Maybe we can start a Cellar virtual soccer team.

I did like this, from your first link:

LOL. I noticed that. We have an indoor facility here that is well known for their bar. That, and the very real possibility of getting shanked in the parking lot if you beat the wrong team. I don't play there.

One of my gripes about the program was that I had to go check out a few books to teach myself basic soccer, and then I found out that the rules are different for different ages/leagues etc. so I had no idea what the kids were supposed to be doing, or what was allowed when they were playing.

SO,

Might I suggest that the league present each parent with a small booklet of the basics appropriate for their child's level of play. Or at the very least post the rules of the game on the website (I assume they have) so that those of us who DO pay attention, can help teach their own kids on their own time out of practice.

I find it frustrating that I really didn't know a whole lot more about soccer than I did before she ever played.

In our magical league only two things will be different than adult soccer.

1) No offside rule until U12 age group.

2) Adults play on large fields with 11 to a side. Kids play on smaller fields. U6/8/10 play with 6 and a keeper. U12/14 with 8 and a keeper. Above 14 and still playing? Welcome to the adult world.

sweet, you're perfect for a keeper then. they're all a little off in the head but they cover it up by claiming they're just loners.

classicman · 07-24-2008, 07:46 AM

lol @ lookout - I was thinkin the same thing.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-24-2008, 10:34 AM

There's no coverup, the two go together. :p

lookout123 · 07-24-2008, 11:10 AM

Excellent, Bruce is the starting keeper for Cellar F.C.

So we have a keeper, who else wants to play. I think we'll go with the classic 4-4-2 lineup.

Bruce/Keeper

Defender 1-------Def 2-----Def 3----------Defender 4

R Mid -------Center Mid ---- Center Mid ------- L Mid

Forward -----------------Forward

Call your positions people, let's go.

HungLikeJesus · 07-24-2008, 11:27 AM

I can move fast, but I don't always pay attention to what's going on in the game (who's pitching? which goal is ours? etc.). I've been improving my accuracy, coordination and balance. I wish to play barefoot.

What position do you recommend?

lookout123 · 07-24-2008, 11:38 AM

Quick but sometimes drift off and miss details of the game? You're a forward. Watch your toes. Are you left or right footed?

Griff · 07-24-2008, 11:46 AM

I'll take def2. I've got a strong right foot and at one time had good anticipation for play development. And I'm kinda mean... inside the white lines.

lookout123 · 07-24-2008, 11:50 AM

Good. It's hard to find a good centerback. Most are too frightened to go into the challenges hard. Lots of jumping required. If you use your foil, make sure to hide it with your body so the linesman doesn't see.

Bruce/Keeper
Defender 1-------Griff/CD-----Def 3----------Defender 4
