City/Town: Zurich
Event Type: Sports
Meeting Point: Schanzengraben School Yard
All welcome

This is a casuals game, where the winning is more important than the ...No! Wait! We're in it for fun. All abilities, ages, shoe brands welcome. New players especially welcome! And it's free!

Here's the map link

It's not far from Paradeplatz, on a school playground along the canalbank Schanzengraben. Hard rubberized surface, so regular sports / running shoes without studs will be fine. There's a water fountain a few metres away but sadly no ammenities for changing, showering, weeing etc

As the weather is getting more damp, please check this thread nearer the day in case we're rained-off.

Beers and fries usually afterwards at Paddy Reilly's...

If you have a football, please bring it along.

RSVP
We very often have a lot more people turning up than RSVP and it would be great if you are interested in playing if you could say you'll be there.

Also! Please be punctual. 13.00 means a couple of minutes either side, not 20 minutes late. This disrupts the game and team balance and much as shaking hands and 'How do you do / what's your name again?' is nice, we lose a lot of time. As regulars will have noticed, we're often competing for the space with others and if we don't start on time we'll not maximise our opportunity for a free game, plus impatient snarls from the Yoof on the wings...

Don't mean to get 'Swiss' on your asses, but I think it'd be great if we kept it tight. Also Newbies to our little field of dreams often arrive early and need assurance they're in the right place; if no-one's there on time they may walk away and that would be sad
RSVP'd Yes: 3 (2 members and 1 guests) RSVP'd Maybe: 4 (3 members and 1 guests)

Thanks to all for last Sunday's game, good to see so many turn up and get active

Thanks also to the late arrivals who, taking on board the 'please don't be late' message - apologised (!) and played a fast game.

It's pretty tough getting up and out on a Sunday but I for one really appreciate the fresh air, wintery daylight and er, exercise. If you're interested in joining in and not sure where to come, send me a PM 24 hours beforehand and we can meet at Paradeplatz.

Cheers

The weather forecast isn't great for tomorrow, so please check this thread tommorow by around 11.30 to see if we're rained off or not

Re: Sunday Afternoon Five-a-Side Football, Downtown Zurich
Well, the wet weather means we should cancel for today, chaps. See you next week?

EDIT: Well, it was teeming with rain earlier, but now seems to have dried up a little. Still, not many on the Yes list so let's leave it for this week... Ciao!
