Soccer Saturday: Provo/Orem

Burninator · 07-22-2006, 11:23 AM

Hey all, I'm looking to form a small, core group of soccer fanatics to play on Saturday mornings. I have two field options available:

1) 2185 South Larsen Parkway, Provo: small field, smallish goals with nets, it's owned by my employer so no issues there. A little bumpy but not too bad, I actually really enjoy playing here beacause I don't have to run much. (http://maps.google.com, 2185 Larsen Pky, Provo, UT 84606)

2) 775 W 800 N, Orem: This is a school field with what appear to be full-size goals, but no nets, much larger than the field at my work, and I'm not sure how bumpy it is. I've driven by there a few Saturday mornings and no one is ever there. There appear to be some type of local league games there on Sunday afternoons, so maybe the field isn't too bad. (http://maps.google.com, 775 W 800 N Orem, UT 84057)

I need at least 5 people that can commit to 3-4 Saturday mornings a month, and then anyone else that wants to come. I am interested in playing between 8:30 and 11:30, preferrably from 9:00 to 10:30-11:00. I'm not interested in competitive games (I'm not that good 🙂 ), I just want to play and have fun, and everyone who wants to come is invited. We can use this thread to see who's coming and who's not. If you're interested, reply here, or PM me.

Thanks!

That 800 North field is fairly popular, but that's not to say crowded. I often notice people playing over there.

Good luck. If you get a good group going, I'll come watch you and cheer you once in a while. 🙂

I've never seen anyone there at 9:15 AM on a Saturday 🙂

I can't commit, but I'll try to come if I can.

p.s. I really, really suck at soccer.

I'm not going to bother if I don't have a core group willing to commit some time to play. I've been wasting too much time and too much gas driving down to my work on Saturday mornings just to be the only one there. I do live much closer to the 800 N site in Orem, though, so if we want to meet there, maybe that would be the best...

This google group organizes pick up footy matches in the Provo/Orem area...
