especially a goal keeper

If the position comes with a full time job I'll consider it.

[Outlaw 2.0]

We play a game on the full size pitch for an hour against the C's and then spend the rest of training in the bar

If your keen you can train with the A's and B's doing the pyramid runs. Good to see a few 35+ guys keeping fit and giving it a go in the preseason.

what league are you in?

[SOR]

what league are you in?

SAASL

New rules this year where all players in 35 plus division must be 35 or over so need lots of extra players in the team to make up for injuries, family commitments, work commitments etc.

If you retired from the game and want to come out for a social kick to get fit and healthy or to have fun, come out to training as there is still around 8 weeks till the season starts so plenty of time to get in shape.

What exactly does "in shape" mean pertaining to Over 35's ?

In shape for 35 plus = not getting injured in the first 5 minutes when you go for your first pass or tackle,
able to play a 80min game without feeling pain in your chest,
having enough strength in your legs to do the basics without falling over,
building up your bone density so you don't get micro fractures in your shins (tends to happen if you haven't played or done much exercise in 10 or so years)
and able to pull off some of the moves you used to do in your hey day

Good to see a few new 35 plus players come to training last night, even with the Adelaide United game on.

Still have room for more players for those who are interested.

Training Mondays and Wednesdays at 7pm. Just rock up to training and join in for a game.

HOW ARE THE NUMBERS DOWN THERE?

HOW ARE THE NUMBERS DOWN THERE?

Getting good turn out with 15 eligible but 3 playing in the reserves so need more players over 35 years old.

Especially need a goal keeper so if anyone is interest PM me or come out to training.

[SOR]

Have 15 players on the team now, good work on the new players, the team is looking strong. Just missing a good goal keeper. If any good goal keepers who are 35 years or over and are interested in playing in a competitive team please PM me or come out to training.

Might check if SAASL will allow a younger guy (under 30 years old) to play in the goals.

They shouldn't do. Rules should be rules, but then again this is the SAASL we're talking about.
