Basic Information

• The league plays outdoors only for three distinct seasons: Spring, Summer, 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 currently has a single division for men and women who are a minimum of 30 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.
• We have regular, consistent teams for each season.

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.
• The score is rarely kept.
