    Bring shin-guards, water, sunscreen, cleats, and two shirts -- one white, and one dark blue/black.   That's it!!

    What kind of commitment is there?
    We love to have fun, but we also like to win!  For practices & scrimmages there really isn't any commitment - just come out when you can and have a good time.  However, for our competitive teams, commitment is crucial and we have waitlists to join these teams, so multiple no-shows without warning your team manager can get you kicked off a competitive team.

    Where/When do you guys practice? How can I get the latest practice/scrimmage/tournament info?
    We start practicing again on March 6, 2010 - Saturdays, 10:00am Duniway Park. Times and fields can change due to availability. To be up on the latest with respect to practices/scrimmages/tournament info and new teams and leagues forming, please ask us to add your email to the NetRippers Listserve for weekly updates.
     
    Unfortunately we receive too many requests for info to keep up with everyone individually, so we hope you will request to join our listserve by sending an email to info@netrippers.org

    I haven't played in years (or ever!) -- is that an issue?
    No problem -- Practices and Scrimmages are open to all levels, and you'll find a good mix of beginner and advanced players. We also have a number of good mentors, so come on out!

    Do you have anything for female players?
    Currently we have women participating in practices/scrimmages, tournaments, and coed teams.  With enough interest we could definitely start a womens team, and we have already helped send a women's team to Festival of Babes!

    Can straight allies join?
    Absolutely!
     
    How do I get on a competitive team?
    Come out to practice/scrimmages and let us know you're interested in joining a competitive team. There is a waitlist to get on a competitive team, and we do require certain skills that the team managers will be able to explain and try to help you with.

    Do you do anything besides play soccer?
    Although our first love is the sport, this is a very fun loving and community-involved group. From helping out with youth soccer tournaments and hosting summer clinics for gay teens, to nights out on the town or watching Avenue Q together, we have a great time and do whatever we can to bring people together. Our board has requested that our Social Chair (Jon) be responsible for at least 4 community benefits and 4 major social events per year. To make recommendations for community benefits or to join our social listserve, please write Jon at: info@netrippers.org
