Scrimmage format & expectations
We assign teams using pinnies and swap players mid-scrimmage as needed to keep gameplay balanced. If the teams feel uneven skillwise, feel free to make the swaps yourself.
Play like your opponents don't have health insurance! Play the ball, not the player.
We play on uneven terrain with hard-to-spot holes, so watch your step and participate at your own risk.Β
If someone is clearly a beginner, give them a little extra space on defense and make sure to pass to them on offense.
We do throw-ins and corner kicks, but we ignore off-sides.
Once you've worn a pinnie, don't put it back in the pile with the clean pinnies. Just leave it on the ground if you're not sure where the dirty pinnie bag is.Β
Step off if you're injured or want a break. Don't wait for an official "water break"; grab water whenever.
Cleats and shin guards are optional.
We have no entitlement to the field we play on, so try not to bother other parkgoers.
