Hi, all,

I joined the group not too long ago, and I'm curious as to the
current, I dunno, "level" of the group. The group description sounds
pretty mellow, but some of the messages imply a move (or a need for a
move?) to a more competitive attitude. Are the weekly games
completely in-house, or do you play against other teams or leagues?

If you're curious as to where I'm at, I'm 30, played in a formal
league in my early teens (uniforms, shoes with those rubber knobby
cleats, shin-guards, those special thin socks you're supposed to put
over shin guards (?), etc.), and played in extremely informal
neighborhood pick-up games in my late teens/early twenties (shorts,
maybe a t-shirt, sneakers, socks if you didn't want stinky
sneakers). Haven't kicked a soccer ball since, and I'd like to
rectify that.

Best,

Greg
