Why should you have all the stress and the kids have all the fun?
Every Sunday at 4:00 pm we have a two hour pick-up soccer game for adult members of the Nichada/ISB community at ISB. It’s a fun game with players of all abilities and ranging in age from twenties to 50s, and at least one guy in his early 60s (!). There are no set teams, so the sides each week are pretty balanced, making for competitive but friendly games.
We play all year, and usually 11-a-side when we have enough players. If not we will have a small-sided game with available players. The games are organized by the Nichada Panthers Football Club, and in addition to the Sunday casual game, we have regular mid-week evening games during the school year against invited opposition. These are formal games complete with officials and uniforms, offering a higher level of competition for more experienced and energetic players. Sunday games are free and open to the community. To participate in formal games requires membership in the club and a small fee to cover the cost of the referees.
If it sounds like fun, come out and have a look on any Sunday at 4:00. We normally play on the main field, but during the summer the fields are under maintenance so we could be on any of the other fields at ISB. To find out which one we will be on please visit our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/NichadaAdultSoccer (or just Google Nichada Panthers). If you want to play, please bring a white shirt and a black shirt (to facilitate forming teams) and your shoes.
See you there!
