Alternative co-ed soccer/football team

Ok, how about we organize a low contact co-ed soccer team? It seems like there is enough interest.

I just moved here and speak only a little German but I am happy to help out with the emails... Maybe someone else could help organize the fields/bring balls etc? I played on 2-4 teams in Seattle and am missing it sooooo much (not to mention the exercise!)

1. Please reply to this thread if you are interested in playing some sort of low contact soccer (football-whatever you want to call it)
2. we can discuss times and dates on the thread.

Obviously at first this is going to be casual and it will be sometime before we can field 2 full teams but this can still be fun with a minimal critical mass! Don't hesitate! Remember, we need both guys and girls!!!

has there anything definate been sorted yet?

i'd be in. this sort of thing is often attempted, with limited success. not trying to discourage. would love to see a regular gametime and field organised.

hasenheide park is quite big, where you can easily play, though no official pitches and no goals.

I would definitley be in! I love soccer but haven't really played in awhile, so it would be nice to play on a team. And also the excercise is a plus!

I'm up for it too. Played football in school and really miss it. Girl, btw.

I'd be up for playing (moving there on 20 Sept)...hi

Nice idea, but pretty unrealistic in that "low contact" soccer is a pretty stupid, if not impossible and pointless idea, and sorry, but the guys will just ignore this anyway - even more so with the girls playing as they will need to show off.

Soccer is a contact sport, so just go for it and enjoy it. If you want "lo contact", go for netball or something like that.

Yeah screw the "low contact". Just no dirty tackles.
Once we have a team together, who will we play?

Anyone else interested?!

I am still interested and I have a few other people who contacted me personally not on this thread. So I think we have enough people. I just don't know how to get a field etc..does someone else want to pick up this rein? We should just set up a time and those who can make it are in.

As for the people "dissing the low contact" - why you be harshing our mellow?

I just think it is more fun to play when everyone isn't scared of getting killed! I don't mind contact. I agree that it would be difficult to play with no contact which is why I wrote "low contact." There are plenty of other threads for football on this board for those of you who can't or don't want to play "skillfully" (of course may I remind you those are minus ladies...) Besides, I have played on plenty of co-ed teams with low contact soccer and I don't know what netball is much less have a desire to play it.

Let's get this thing started!

If you get a location/time worked out, I would love to come play!

Can I come and referree?

I would be very much into that, although an inside location will have to be found for the winter... Unless you're Reinhold Messner or something...

Oh and yes, I'm new here, my name is Hans, I've lived in the US for 5 years and I think it's safe to say that my English is up to par...

Best

I'm interested. I'm pretty terrible, but I like to play. Unfortunately I can't really contribute any knowledge of places to play right now, seeing as I just moved here from the US last week. And I work during the week so Saturday or Sunday during afternoons are the best for me.

In if I can be in goals (no running for a fat unfit b_____d like meself!)

Ok so far, the people who have said they are "definitely in":

1. Yelli2
2. horseshoe7
3. jnewman
4. milk
5. withers
6. mercurie
7. berlinender
8. wonshu
9. mrb204
10. paulbb

Anyone else, add your name to list!
Couple more people and we could start something up (5 a side maybe)

Does anyone have a football?
I've got two jumpers we can use for goalposts

im in

when do you plan to play? If not enough people come and we play in a park there always people that hang round and would wanna play...

Has this died a death or is has it just slipped behind the scenes?

Julian, Id love to come and play today, but going to be busy. Next week is International games - will it still be going on Oktober 18th?

this saturday last saturday for 2 weeks.

I'm a complete beginner when it comes to soccer, but I learn fast, and I'm really enthusiastic.
Tmaureen - any chance of soccer in the next few weeks, or is that it for the winter?
Julianfb - is it just guys, or open for girls too, and is it only Saturdays?

I believe the friedrichstrasse hall thing is no more...
