new players?

[rverones]

Hi, new here!

I am looking to get involved with Soccer (again, after so many years). I coached U6 and U7 a couple of years ago, but haven't got involved. I didn't know of any adult rec soccer until I found this site.

How can I ( I am 37, and a tad outta shape ) get onto a team, or at least check this out?
I have a good athletic background, but with work, family etc.. it has taken a back seat for a couple of years and I am hoping to get out more, and I think this sounds like a great place.

I have 1 concern that I read. This used to be a mixed adult rec fun soccer group, but from what I understand, there is a much higher level of competition now with some players that played at the national level.

I don't think I will ever come close to being that good, but would still like to get involved.

The question then would be, is it worth it if the level of play is that much higher than I am capable, and if so, how do I get involved?

This Season is coming to an end...but the Season begins again in May 2007, so keep an eye out then and I'm sure there will be a team out there needing some people.

Are you getting back in it to meet chicks? Is that what all this is about? Lots of teams out there just not sure about the timing ?

good luck

[outkast]

you know girth, not everyone is in it just too meet chicks. Some are in it to simply play with old friends and improve there ponch.

But what chicks dont like a nice ponch??

...ahhh, now i see your plan unfolding...sneaky sneaky.

[rverones]

Yeah, my WIFE wants me to go out and meet chicks.... oooops, did I say that out loud?

heh.

Does anyone know of an over 35 league that plays after summer is over, or does everyone hang up the soccer gear and go back to hockey, beer, scream at the Canucks again?

Vancouver over 35: http://www.vmslsoccer.com

Fraser Valley over 35: http://www.fraservalleysoccer.com

Don't worry, the sites do not reflect the quality of the players in the leagues

There is also a winter over 30's league on the North Shore... I can't remember the link but they do have a small ad running on the site here.

Cheers,

Hey, thanks for the response.

Both those sites are hard to locate actual info, and they seem to be a few months behind on postings and season info, but its a start.
