Indoor kicks off

The Goleros return to action this week in our first ever indoor campaign!

Our first game is at 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday night at South Run District Park Fieldhouse in Springfield (directions here).

A shout-out to Wolf, VCSRA league commissioner, for securing our spot off the wait list.  We sometimes play together on the legendary Hot Pink Panthers.

I'm excited about the indoor season. We'll play 8 regular season games from now until late March, with single-elimination playoffs for the top four teams that will stretch into April. This is coed intermediate so expect the pace and quality of play to be slightly better than what we have seen in outdoor. I noticed that one of the teams is even sponsored.

Our squad consists of some Goleros players, some Far Post players, and some new recruits who are friends of friends. It's a good crew, but we'll have to work out kinks. The league is 8 vs 8, with 5 guys and 3 ladies. The pitch (pictured above) is big enough to allow for organized passing. But it's too small to play rigidly. We'll want to cycle people up and down the field. Defenders will get in on the attack and will have to be covered by teammates when they do.

Roster
Women: Jackie, Ally, Kate, Katya, Heather, Jenny (Far Post)

Men: Pete, Nate, Jer, Adrian, Gonzalo, Antonio, Juan, Tim (Far Post), Braulio

Please bring your $80 dues to the first game - I posted instructions here.

Don't forget to Tivo the U.S. vs. Mexico game, which also starts at 9:00 p.m.

See everyone there!
