Game details. Read carefully 👇

👕 Bring both a light and dark top as we don't wear bibs, but I will give you advance notice via WhatsApp of your main colour
⏱️Arrive in good time before KO, everyone is paying for 1 hour of game time. Sooner we set up the more time we can play
👏🏻Always encourage your team-mates
😡No shouting/abuse at your team-mates or opponent
🤕 No slide tackles allowed
🫱🏻‍🫲🏼Call your own fouls and respect the call + decision (No need to call for minor things, it's a physical game)
🥅Anything that is 50/50 or causes a fuss around the penalty area and not definitive, NO penalty - just play from goalkeeper
⚽ If a defender does go into the penalty area and touches the ball or goalkeeper goes out of the box, it's obviously a penalty but again if momentum takes him inside / outside accidentally after touching the ball, no penalty
🧤 Everyone takes a turn to go in goal. Keeper change every 5 minutes, and wait for both keeper changes before restarting game.
