I want to play soccer! Who's in??

25 year old male here, looking to play soccer during the evenings in the Summer into the Fall. There are other threads (some of which I have started) talking about casual, non-aggressive games of soccer for adults. People seem to show interest at first but no one seem to suggest a place and time to commit to.

Let's start playing this week!

My husband would def be interested! His email is tokenanaguy2@aol.com

what about the feild of dreams? at six on thrus?

im in....when and where?

thurs pm?

any thursday except this one works for me

Volly Girl - where is the field of Dreams?

I can make it Thursday PM at 7.30 -- Let's try to get more people to go.

i can do this thursday school starts next week so its a no go for me after that

katy come this Thursday and we'll talk about planning a second or better time and day that people can play.

I think even if we start with a small group, it will eventually grow by word of mouth. I can also create a page on Facebook and on MeetUp.com for other interest but I'd like to get a small core group of 10 - 12 players started before we send it out.

let me know when you guys play and me and my buddy will come down next week

Check out the tennis thread if you want to get out and enjoy some good physical activity on those days you aren't playing soccer.
I'm 40+ and have never played soccer and am not likely to start now but i do enjoy sports and tennis is both easy and fun. all you need is two people = ]

feild of dreams is on 46 in indepnacence....go up 46 and go past the school and make a left hand turn on cematery rd and then follow it threw and then u make a left into the park. haah sorry bad at giving diections...
730 i can do. or maybe the high school feild would be better to meet at?

Just want to make sure this is a friendly game right .... i played in high school i like to get out and do things but im not a pro .......

katy.... i think it will be a friendly one.....i am the same way lol no pro here.

HIGH SCHOOL - FRONT ENTRANCE - 7:30PM

I'd like to meet at a field where there aren't many games/practices going on and that we actually have access to. I like the idea of going to the High School -- I didn't realize there were so many soccer fields there!

cbgpzb - I love to play tennis but I'm afraid I'm not very good. Still trying to self-teach myself how to serve properly and maintain good balance on the courts. I can generally hold a decent volley but that's about it. Why don't you come join us for the friendly soccer game even if you've never played and never intended on it. It's a great way to meet new people and let them know about your tennis interest!

katy - it will be friendly .. I'm definitely no pro either .. but I just love kicking the ball around on the soccer field, getting a good run in and maintaining that competitive edge! =)

I work the night shift and leave for work at 9pm so a 7:30 start would be cutting it too close. I'll keep checking back.

Hopefully the weather holds up for us tomorrow.

Please email me if you're sincerely interested in playing tomorrow or some other time. My email address is ryanomac{at}gmail.com.

If you're thinking of coming, it might be helpful to bring a dark shirt and a light shirt with you to separate the teams. Also, bring a friend with you so we can try to get a good game going!

I would be interested, just can't make tomorrow. Let me know the next time you play.

who is bringing to soccer ball

I cant make it today, but love the idea.
keep posting and i'll try to catch the next one.
have fun!

Is this still on for tongiht with happy hour planned as well?

I supposed if it's not raining we can still play. I'm not sure how many people we have confirmed though. If someone can bring a soccer ball, that would be great otherwise I can pick one up at Walmart on the way to the field.

I drove around to other fields last night and didn't find any pick-up games happening. I also found 2 other fields with nets we could play at (one seemed to be a half-field with nets - good for small number of people) elsewhere if need be.

Katy - There seems to be Happy Hour at Charlie Brown's tonight. Some of us could try to make it to meet up with other HtownLifers .. but I'm not sure I'll be able to go.

I can't come tonight because I had to swap shifts but next Thursday I'm in.

I'm here. Anyone coming ?

So ... not one person showed up. Not one! How did that possibly happen? Where did you all go ... katy? volly girl? Alison? Not even people from craigslist who said they'd come ... did I miss something here? Weather was perfect for soccer, grass wasn't even that wet.

Is it really worth the effort to try and do something next week? Or is it all in vain?

I'm a little annoyed that no one even came back on here to apologize for not at least coming by or saying they won't be able to make it ...

i walked around to ALL the soccer feilds and did not see anyone from the group.!!!! i went to the entrace of the soccer feild and saw no one! just some kids,:( i felt like i got ditched:( ryanmac i did not see u

I went there - was in a orange mets shirt walked around saw noone with a soccer ball on t he field or by the doors. I have never met any one from the group b 4 so im sorry if i missed you but i left shortly after as i did not get back online to see if it was cancelled due to happy hour

WHAT? My sister and I (and my nephew) were waiting by the Hackettstown High School front entrance from 7:25 to 7:40. We decided to start kicking the ball around at the soccer field closest to the entrance since no one was showing up. Sooooo I'm not really sure happened here folks. I invited my nephew (he plays for the town's travelling team) along since I kind of figured there was going to be a shortage of players but I didn't think it was going to be a no-show.
I'm really discouraged to even try next week since I had about 10 people saying they were definitely coming and not one person ACTUALLY WALKED UP TO THE FRONT ENTRANCE where we were waiting ... or come over to the first field where there were 2 adults clearly over 21 practicing ....

my apoligies ryan i was there at 630 not 730 if you are going to plan this again can we do 630..... i truley mis read this post b/c 730 is impossible for me with my schedule and my daughters dinner/sleep schedule

Hi everyone I'm very interested if it's Thursdays around 7pm, I'm 34 (man) and like soccer so much it has been a while though, RyanoMAC let's schdule something for Thur 7/09 anywhere you want, we should have at least 12 players so it's gonna be 6 against 6.

I can't get to the fields any earlier than 7:30PM so if people want to play then I need email confirmations of 10 people coming sent to ryanomac(at)gmail.com before I plan anything. I'm not going to plan something and have a no-show again.

So if anyone wants to play, I'm willing to take the lead on this but I've already sent out several invitations on this forum, via email, craigslist and won't make any confirmations of a game unless I get those emails. Let me know if a friend or 2 will be coming so we can make the numbers up quickly.

Hey ryan are you avail any otehr days like mayb a sunday ?

Tom could play on a Sunday.

are we playing still thursday night?

I haven't had 10 people email me so I guess there's no game Thursday. I actually play somewhere else on Sunday (Belle Meade) so unless there's an overwhelming number of people playing Sunday, won't be able to do it then.

Sorry guys, hate to do it this way but I really would like a good number of people going and I'm not relying on just on enthusiasm from the HL board. People need to actually email me and tell me they can make it Thursday night, 7.30PM

well if ryan can't make it this time, lets all meet 7-7:30 at the one on air port road by the walmart at the top of the hill. also its right behind donaldson farm. and we'll play with who ever shows. i know me and three buddys will be there tomorrow!

I'm coming down to play with ralf....If you guys come bring one light and one dark shirt

I should be able to make it. I'll try to send an email to people who expressed interest last time.

so ryan you gonna go to airport rd fields? right behind the farm?

There's people here anyone else?

Hey John - pretty decent start today even though we couldn't get a proper game going quite yet. Was good to meet you too. Do you think you'll be able to go this Thursday and take along the same group? I think I'll be able to get some people to go Thursday but I'd like to be able to depend on some people being there. Let me know

yea next thursday is good for the group i went with if anything changes i'll let you know but as of now looks like us 4 will be there

Yeah Ryan, I am so happy that people showed up. It takes a while to get people involved but fun when they finally do. Congrats

:-( thursday i have class til 9 i really want to play where do u play on sunday

I play in Belle Meade. It's a moderately intense game but still a lot of fun. If anyone want to car pool down there, I might be able to help out. John - I think it's important that we keep posting a NEW post on HL and Craiglist every time we have a soccer thing going on. It'd be cool if at least one of us can plan to be at the fields each Thursday night so it becomes a routine game. Even if we get people from neighboring towns, that's cool. It'd be nice not to have to drive to distant towns all the time just to get in on a game.

sure when do you want to do this?

John do you want to try for this Thursday, 7.30PM again?

I want to play.....let me know when & where?

So...did anyone play soccer last night? I'm hinting to my husband to go as he loves soccer and right now his only outlet is coaching 10 year olds. He loves it but it's not the same as playing with the guys. And he works from home so he needs another reason to get out of the house once in a while, LOL.

Hey no soccer game?

i still plan on going

I posted a new event on the forum.

SOCCER - July 30th - 7:30PM

Come by and play a friendly game of soccer at the Airport Road Soccer Field in Mansfield, NJ. Airport Road is behind Walmart, and the field is just over a half a mile up the hill on the right hand side.

Bring a dark and light shirt to separate teams. Bring a friend too!

Cleats recommended. Check back for Cancellations.

Please send me a message if you're interested in playing soccer Thursday evenings and/or Sundays.
