You heard that right, gentle reader: this Sunday only, bring your wife (or girlfriend, but preferably not both) to the Sunday soccer pickup game and she’ll pay no admission charge.  This special offer is in honor of her special day.  Make sure she’s had a good breakfast (preferably in bed) before strapping those cleats on.

Last Sunday was our first outdoor pickup game of the season and we had a great turnout, with 20 players under sunny skies for a very fun morning of 10 v 10 soccer.  Our British Challenger soccer coach Ross learned not to underestimate us yankee footballers on the pitch as we denied his bids time and time again in the early going, and we learned not to underestimate his speed, footwork, and scorching shots on goal as he broke through for several very pretty goals late in the game.  It was a really great way to start the season and left us all hankering for more.

While a number of players will be absent this week (because we know better), a quick poll showed that there should still be a decent turnout for a small-sided game this Sunday, so bring your cleats, light and dark shirts, and a water bottle for a 9:00 game and you’ll still make it home in time to do those breakfast dishes.
