Several players signed up for league play, and as it stands now, our co-ed team Orange Crush will have teams playing on Sunday and Monday. Our affiliate men's team The Matrix will play on Tuesdays.

We will be practicing and scrimmaging this week on Monday and Wednesday at 6:00 PM at Texa-Tonk Park in St. Louis Park.

This past week, our practices were rained out. We look forward to moving our practices indoors so that we can practice regardless of weather conditions outside. At this point we are looking at moving indoors as early as mid October. Stay tuned for details.

We have players at a variety of skill levels and new players are always welcome to join us.

Also, feel free to click the Camp logo in the upper left hand corner of our website and see what they have going on over in St. Paul.

We will be practicing at 6:00 PM on both Monday and Wednesday nights this week.

On this past Wednesday, we were asked by a creepy park worker not to meet at the youth fields at Oak Lake Park . He said we needed a permit and when we asked how we could get a permit, he said that since we are not part of a youth league we could not get a permit.

That much said, there is a city soccer field directly west of the fields that we were playing on. Since this is a city field, not a youth league field, we should not have any problems playing on this field. This field is boardered on the north by W 35th St, on the west by Quebec Ave S, on the south by Walker St. and on the east side by Pennsylvania Ave S. You should be able to see this on the Google map for Oak Lake Park . I suggest parking on the streets boarding this field rather than in the lot for the Oak Lake Park fields.

If this field is occupied, we will go to Texa-Tonk Park which is only about a mile away.

We will be practicing and scrimmaging as Wednesday Night GLBT Soccer starts up again after a break for the 4th of July holiday. We will start at 7:00 PM on Wednesday July 11th. The soccer field is located at Keystone Park on Alabama Ave S. in St. Louis Park. Click the link above for a Google map to that location.

Since it is the first time we have met at this field, and we have not checked with the City of St. Louis Park, if there is a conflict and the soccer field is occupied, we will use the nearby Texa-Tonka Park, as a back up location. Texa-Tonka Park is where we have been playing the past couple of Mondays.

The soccer group will be practicing and scrimmaging tonight, and things will be a little different than the last few weeks.

First off, we will start at 7:00 PM tonight instead of 6:30 PM. This should allow people to avoid most of the rush hour traffic.

Also new is that we will be playing at a different field. The field we will be trying tonight is in St. Louis Park. The soccer field is located at Texa-Tonka Park, 2750 Virginia Ave S. in St. Louis Park. There is a parking lot at Victoria Lake on 28th and Virginia. Click the link for a Google map to that location.

Also please note that we will not be meeting this week for Wednesday Night GLBT Soccer since it is the 4th of July holiday.

Members of the Flamingos team should also note that there is no game scheduled for Tuesday of this week.

Labels: Flamingos, Monday, Wednesday

We will be meeting on Wednesday, June 20 at Bossen Park at 6:30 PM. Bossen Park is located at 5657 28th Ave. S, in South Minneapolis. Click here for a map to Bossen Park.

We had intended to scrimmage against another team on Wednesday, but they backed out on us at the last minute. Instead, we will do some drills, and then we will separate into two teams for a friendly scrimmage.

We are required to pay a field rental fee for the use of this field, so we ask all Wednesday Night GLBT Soccer participants to kick in $5 each week to cover the cost. This is a full size field with soccer goals and nets.

If you have not come on Wednesday night, I encourage you to join us.

We are looking for additional players to join us.

Lots of things are new or changing. Both Monday Night GLBT Soccer and Wednesday Night GLBT Soccer are moving to new locations due to the fact that the fields at Northeast Park are no longer available. Also this week, the Flamingos, will begin league play on Tuesday, June 5.

Monday Night GLBT Soccer will be meeting this week at Parkview Center School in Roseville at 6:30 PM on Monday, June 4. At that time, we will decide if we like the field and want to play there again or if we should move to try another field. Parkview Center School is located at 701 West County Rd. B in Roseville. Here is a map to Parkview Center School. If you have an alternative field in mind that you would like to promote to the team, please bring information regarding that field to share when you come on Monday.

Wednesday Night GLBT Soccer will begin meeting at Bossen Park in South Minneapolis at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, June 6. Bossen Park is located at 5657 28th Ave. S, Minneapolis, MN 55417. Here is a map to Bossen Park. Kudos to Justin for reserving this park for us. This is a full size field with soccer goals and nets, and we cannot be kicked off this field on Wednesdays. The downside is that we are required to pay a field rental fee. Therefore, starting this week, we will be asking all Wednesday Night GLBT Soccer participants to kick in $5 a week to cover the cost of the field and nets. The quality of the field should be worth the cost.


The Flamingos start our league play this week in the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Tuesday night 6x6 men's league. On Tuesday, June 5 at 5:30 PM the Flamingos will gather at Neiman Fields. Please try to arrive early as our game starts promptly at 6:00 PM on Neiman G east field. Players should bring an orange shirt, a white shirt, soccer cleats and shin guards. Also, if you have not paid John Collins $20 for the jerseys he is ordering, this would be a good time to give him your money. If you need a copy of the full Flamingos schedule email mnglbtsoccer@gmail.com and we will send the schedule your way.

So to recap this week's coming events,

• June 4 - Monday Night GLBT Soccer - new location - Parkview School in Roseville

New players of all skill levels are welcome to join us.

This will be the last time that we will meet at Northeast Park, as the fields are reserved from June 4. More information will be forthcoming regarding the location(s) that we will use on Monday and Wednesday evenings in the future.

Our potluck social on Monday evening went well. Thanks to everyone that contributed to the great spread of food.

On Monday and Wednesday evenings we get together to build our skills and have fun. We gather at 6:15 PM at Northeast Park in Minneapolis. We warm up for a few minutes, then a rotating player leads us in drills which focus on improving our level of play on the field. When our drills are completed we separate into two teams and play against each other in a scrimmage. Players should bring both a black and white t-shirt so that we can be flexible when we separate into teams. Cleats and shin guards are recommended but not required.

New players of all skill levels are welcome to join us.

We also field two teams that play in recreational leagues in the Twin Cities, the Pineapples and the Flamingos.

Labels: Monday, Wednesday

On Saterday May 19, at 12:30 PM the Pineapples will gather at Augsburg AirDome, WEST Field to take on FC Fire Monkeys. Our game starts at 1:00 PM in the City Sports Connection co-ed 7v7 12 match league.

Also a note about yesterday's Wednesday Night GLBT Soccer for those of you that missed it. Fourteen players graced the field although some arrived late or had to leave the field early. We began with some group practice, and Justin demonstrated the fundamentals of kicking the ball with different parts of your foot and trapping the ball. Justin's drills included passing and trapping, dribbling down the field, and dribbling around cones then passing. It is amazing how going back to basic fundamentals can improve your play.

Labels: dribbling, fundamentals, league play, one touch passing, Pineapples, soccer drills, trapping, Wednesday

For the first time since we began playing as a group, back in January yesterday we practiced drills before scrimmaging. Skill building drills will become a standard part of our Monday and Wednesday nights, so that we build our ball handling, passing and shooting skills systematically. On Monday evening Andrew led nineteen players in a drill passing the ball up the field with one touch per pass. Then we worked on throw-in techniques. Ideally, each practice one player will step up to lead drills before we split into two teams to play a friendly game.

As usual, we will meet on Wednesday night this week at 6:15 PM at Northeast Park. Whether you are a regular player or a first timer, you are welcome join our soccer group and play with us.

Labels: Monday, one touch passing, soccer drills, throw ins, Wednesday

We will continue to play scrimmages on Monday and Wednesday nights at 6:15 PM at Northeast Park in Minneapolis.

Those who choose to can also play with our teams in league play. At this time we have registered two teams for league play.

Our men's 6x6 team, Flamingos, is registered in the Minneapolis Park and Recreation League. The Flamingos will play Tuesday Nights at the Neiman Athletic Complex, starting Tuesday, June 5th. This 6x6 league is targeted toward men, but women are also allowed to play on the team.

Our co-ed 7x7 team, Pineapples, is registered in the Cities Sports Connection League. The Pineapples will play Saturdays between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM at a variety of outdoor "Astroplay" fields, starting Saturday, May 12. This 7x7 league requires three men and three women on the field at all times and the goalie may be of either gender.

We will have league sign-up sheets at tonight's 6:15 PM Wednesday Night MN GLBT Soccer and both Monday and Wednesday night soccer next week as well. We will also talk about potential sponsorships and the financial costs associated with league play.

Labels: GLBT soccer team, league play, playing times, Wednesday

We again had eighteen players show up tonight for Monday Night GLBT Soccer.

There was good news and bad news to be shared with the players. The good news: our men's 6x6 team Flamingos was successfully entered into the Minneapolis Park and Recreation League and will play Tuesday Nights at the Neiman Athletic Complex. The bad news: the co-ed 6x6 league filled up before receiving our registration. Although we are not officially in the league, we are the first in line if any team drops out of the league before it starts on the week of June 3. This means that our co-ed 6x6 team Pineapples is in limbo. The co-ed 6x6 league plays on Sundays. Our options at this time consist of

1. Wait and see if we get into the league or
   
2. See if we can still register for the 11x11 co-ed league.
   

It sounded like there may be sufficient interest in the 11x11 co-ed league, so tomorrow I will register us for it. We may need to do some recruiting to find a few additional players if we successfully get into this league. The 11x11 co-ed league plays on Thursdays or Sundays, according to the sign up sheet.

After some light stretching and chatting about the league situation, we took the field at Northeast Park in Minneapolis and kicked three soccer balls around the field to warm up. It was fun to be running on grass under the evening sun instead of running on rubber turf under artificial light. There was some confusion about how many players we should have on the field, but after some shuffling and shirt changing, we successfully split into two teams and began to play.

The teams were perhaps a bit uneven as the scoring was a little bit lopsided, but everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun and playing well. This was our first time without the indoor walls, and we kicked the ball out of bounds with alarming frequency. We played hard for two hours with seven on the field (including goalie) and two substitution players on each side. Some players needed reminders about throw-in technique, goal kicks, and offsides rules, but for the most part we slowly remembered (or learned for the first time) how outdoor rules are different from indoor rules.

After it got dark and we ended the game, we chatted a bit more, especially about the fact that we will be playing outdoors on Wednesdays at 6:15 PM at Northeast Park. Some Monday night players want to play an additional night, and we have some potential players that have let us know that they would enjoy playing with us, but cannot make Monday nights due to other obligations. Starting this week, we now offer Wednesday Night GLBT Soccer. We will be playing this week Wednesday and next week Wednesday at Northeast Park, but we are open to playing in other locations in the future.

Our next get together will be Wednesday Night GLBT Soccer on April 25, 2007 at 6:15 PM in Northeast Park. We will show up and stretch a bit at 6:15 PM and take the field at 6:30 PM. Bring a soccer ball if you have one and a black and white t-shirt if at all possible.
