Hi Players. I wanted to suggest some rules other than (and including)
basic FIFA rules and we can discuss them before the games on Friday.  I
am determined to keep these games as safe as possible and if everyone
is on the same page, this will happen.                                                                
     1)  No slide tackling and only minimum contact allowed.                           
     2)  Players should approach each game as recreational                            
     3)  No playing the ball if you are on the ground                                            
     4)  No contact with the goalie and no attempt to play the ball when
the GK has possession                                                                                          
       5)  Each team should appoint a player rep to enforce the rules. Both
teams should go over these things before the game starts.                           
       NOTE: We can go over these rules as well as others. I can't post all
rules because there are hundreds.  Common sense will go a long way.  
Please play safe and bring to my attention anyone that is not.                      
                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                  
       NEXT ITEM:   Any teams that have team names, please let me know
as I will post standings.                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                  
     LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME GREAT CLEAN GAMES AND THANKS
