LIC Pickup Soccer - Advanced

This meetup is created to play high quality, safe and friendly pick up soccer games. Players should have an advance level and technique so we can have slightly more competitive games but be safe at the same time. The overall goal is to have a good work-out, share our love for this sport, make new friends from all over the world and have fun. 
Group Policy:
- Fair play and respect at all times! 
- Our games are open to ALL GENDERS and open to all good soccer players.
- We do not have a referee. RESPECT each others' calls and do not argue about them. If somebody calls a FOUL, it is a FOUL. 
- NO fighting, swearing, threats and/or any physical aggressive behavior. If observed you will be permanently removed from the group. 
- NO verbally abusing other players or criticizing their abilities when they make a mistake. You don't gain anything by winning a game in this meet up nor loose anything when lost. However thou, you will gain a lot of new friends if you have a clean game. 
- NO Cleats allowed, TURF SHOES ONLY! (for both real or artificial grass) We play on a turf field!

- In the event of no show until 7:25AM and if there is a substitute player available, you would lose your spot for both games that day and substitute player takes your place.
- Bring one WHITE JERSEY and ONE COLORED JERSEY to all games. If teams are uneven, the organizers might ask you to switch with another player to balance the teams. (JERSEYS with WHITE STRIPES are never allowed. It is neither white nor colored and it is confusing to others)
- Teams are announced between 8PM-10PM the night before the game and you can change your RSVP until the teams are announced. Once teams are announced you have to show up in the game. Failure to show up will be subject to no show policy mentioned above.
