Rolly Polly Soccer: For the Non-Competitive

By Darren Barefoot on July 20, 2005 - 11:15pm

After a rousing game of croquet, Mark (of Raincity fame) suggested that we start an informal, non-competitive weekly soccer game. This sounded like a great idea, and Rolly Polly Soccer was born.

To play, you must adhere to the following guidelines:

• You must suck at soccer. The more talentless, the better.
• This will be a non-competitive game. Anybody who exhibits any form of competitive spirit will receive a yellow card. Keep it up, it's a red card and the Time Out Corner for you, Sport.
• You must have a history of non-athleticism. Former high school and university jocks are not welcome.
• Jocks of any kind are not welcome.
• No cleats are allowed.
• Both genders are welcome.
• Bring a dark and a light shirt.
• Again, it's freakin' non-competitive.

Mark's providing the ball and I'm locating something to serve as goalposts. Our first game will be this Sunday:

Johnathan Rogers Park (Manitoba and West 7th)
Sunday, July 24 at 4:00pm

We'll probably schedule games for future Sundays, should this one go well.

UPDATE: Whoops, that's July, not August 24. This Sunday.
