How it works...
We
meet at the High School field,
do a little warm-up and break into two teams. Competition
is spirited but always friendly - when things begin to
get too crazy we usually call "next
goal". Following the collection of old
equipment and donations, a "team"
photo is taken for the history books.
(warm-up and game duration depend upon weather conditions)

Heard on the turf...
"fun"....."great idea".....
"exhausting, humbling and
confirmation of age".....
"fun time, good to see others".....
