Hi all,
I would be happy to pay for space....but I would rather pay a little
more, and have a long season (say from now....so the end of the
summer....like 15 weeks!!)....When I was living in San Diego, we had a field
that we all had to pay for....it was great....about $20-25 per person, and
we go to play religiously on a nice, grassy field....I think that if we pay,
there will be a bigger turn out too.
Anyway, I am happy to pay, but whatever we decide, it will be nice to
have a real field.....see you all soon.

Billy Rogers.

>Hello potential NYCPUL'ers,
>It is fast approaching the time when the NYC parks officially open

>a permit for the turf-soccer field in chelsea from april 13th-may 4th
>( 6 - at least 8:30 pm on sundays) and we should have our trump
>permit agian from June until the end of the summer (trump is closed
>from april till june for resodding). While this chelsea permit is
>clearly not enough time nor space to run a league with, I am
>hesistant to pass it up because I am sure we can do something good
>with it. Anywas here are the options I am thinking about and I am
>interested in feedback:
>1) running a very long season (end of april- august) using a
>combination of Chelsea park, trump park and the east meadow(which I
>assume is very easy to get permits for)
>2) running a shorter league in mid June-through early september and
>using the chelsea paermit either for :
>a)pay for play pick-up (2-3$/person/day)
>b)a mini single elimination tournament with 4 teams (50$ /team)
>Week 1: pickup..
>Week 2: teams 1v2
>Week 3: teams 3v4
>Week 4: winner week 1 vs winner week 2
>I think it would be cool if we could form these teams from the 4
>major pickup areas in/around NYC:
> Team 1: -Central park players
> Team 2: -East river park players
> Team 3: -Prospect Park players
> Team 4: -NJ/misc. players
>I think this would be kind of fun to have a bragging rights
>tournament like the mets/yankees have during exhibition.
>Anyways, here is what I need from you guys now. Please respond to the
>poll I am about to put up so that I can gauge interest in the above
>options. Also, please contact me if you think you are someone who
>could effectively put together a team from your local pickup
>community. Although, it is not definite that this tournament will
>happen it is neccessary to get a move on because the first round
>would be in only two weeks.
>I also need volunteers who can help me with the following:
>-design a new logo for this season
>-help me figure out how to incorporate NYCPUL
>-captain during the regular season.
>-Field marshal. I did a terrible job running things on field last
>season so I am looking for one or more alpha-male type personalities
