2011 Indoor Season

We are going to try and run a small indoor league this year to see how it goes. Things will be a little different than what we used to do.

  • Registrations are now being accepted.
  • Play happens at the Sportsplex of Halfmoon.
  • Sessions will be 8 weeks a piece. Sessions 1 and 2 will be on Sunday nights. If we continue into Session 3, that will be on Thurday nights. Registrations will be on a per session basis (no full year option as this is a trial).
  • We organize ourselves using a "pick-up" style of play. Each player should bring a white and a dark (no greys) shirt each week as we make teams at the start of play.
  • The fee per player is $80 per 8 week session.
  • This season we are open to men over 30 and women over 25.
  • We are strictly limited to 20 players due to limited field availability. Players are accepted in the order of receipt of payment and registration (e-mail does not count). Goalkeepers are given an advantage.
  • Registration Instructions and Form: Instructions for completing and submitting the registration can be found on our form, which can be downloaded here. The form is in PDF format.
  • The league runs primarily through an Internet mailing list. Please see below for instructions on how to join the list.

May 16, 2011 Games Canceled

Due to the amount of rain that has fallen over the past 48 hours, which is very negatively affecting field conditions, plus a gloomy forecast, this evening's games are canceled. Hopefully next week will be better.

2011 Spring and Summer Session (April 18 through the end of August)

We are pleased to open registration for the spring/summer session of our league. Information can be found below.

  • Registrations are now being accepted.
  • Play happens at the Clifton Common.
  • Games take place on Mondays, starting at 6:00 and ending when we're tired or it's dark. There are a couple of breaks in the schedule, which will be forthcoming at a later date.
  • We organize ourselves using a "pick-up" style of play. Each player should bring a white and a dark (no greys) shirt each week as we make teams at the start of play.
  • The fee per player is $25 for the four months.
  • This season we are open to men over 30 and women over 25. If there are enough women, we will form a women's division.
  • Registration Instructions and Form: Instructions for completing and submitting the registration can be found on our form, which can be downloaded here. The form is in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
  • IMPORTANT: The activity is primarily for residents of the Town of Clifton Park. Those non-residents who have played with us are grandfathered in and will be able to play. New players from outside of the Town may or may not be able to get in as we can only accept a limited number of players. Please contact the coordinator (address below) if you have any questions about this.
  • The league runs primarily through an Internet mailing list. Please see below for instructions on how to join the list.

Basic Information

  • The league plays outdoors only for two distinct seasons: Spring/Summer (combined) and Fall. The league plays indoors during the winter.
  • All outdoor games are played at the Clifton Common. Indoor games are played at the Sportsplex of Halfmoon.
  • The league has separate divisions for men 30 years of age and older and women who are a minimum of 25 years of age.
  • During the outdoor season we are required to maintain a membership comprised overwhelmingly of Clifton Park residents. During the indoor season we are open to players from anywhere.
  • Registration is mandatory and includes a standard waiver of liability.
  • There are registration fees collected to cover the league's expenses, which consist mainly of field rentals. Obviously, the indoor season is considerably more expensive than the outdoor season.
  • Shin guards are mandatory for all players.
  • Goalie gloves are required for goalkeepers.

Play Guidelines

The play is very informal, in keeping with our charter as a recreational league dedicated to "friendly play for fun and fitness." While informal, we do tend to abide by the FIFA laws regarding play. The following items are, however, noteworthy.

  • We play without referees, so everyone is on the honor system and the players are expected to be self-policing. Consensus rules. In the absense of consensus, the league coordinator decides.
  • We don't keep a formal clock and only break when we feel like it.
  • We do our best to not injure ourselves and others. Slide tackles are expressly forbidden and contact with anything but the ball is strongly discouraged.
  • No official score is kept, no standings are kept.
