New Special Match

There seems to be a lot of interest in playing the day after Thanksgiving.  The Upcoming Special Matches section will be updated and I am leaving the location as Shawnee Mission East.  If this changes, an email will be sent out and the section will be altered. 

This game is scheduled for 10am, so you will have plenty of time to hit the malls at 4:30am, get your shopping done, then make it to the match.

Hope you can make it!

Saturday match is moving to Maple Hills Park

The Saturday match is moving to the 85th and Switzer field.  Here is a map:

The time is still 9am.

New Wednesday time & Saturday alt field

With the rapidly decreasing daylight window, we will move the time of the Wednesday match to 5:30pm.  Hope you all can make the earlier start time!

Also, we will be giving the Porter Park natural grass surface some time to recover.  A couple weeks in a row of us playing on the rain softened pitch has had a negative impact on the park.  In the spirit of being responsible citizens, we will move our alternate location in the interim.  We have a couple locations on our short list, so we will meet in the parking lot of SME to discuss before moving.

If you would like my phone number, please send me an email.  Also, if there is any interest in a Twitter notification, we can set up a user ID for Youngs Park.  Please let me know if that would be helpful.

SME Calendar

The calendar link is up and working.  September appears to be free and clear on Saturday mornings, but that is always subject to change, of course.

Tunde brought up the Pelada movie in a recent comment.  Unfortunately, Kansas City just had a screening a couple weeks ago, and it fell off my radar before I could pass the word.  I will keep my eyes and ears open for future screenings.  A couple of us saw it the first time it showed in KC and I would strongly urge everyone to see it if they have the chance.  The DVDs are now available from their website, so please check out the link at the bottom of this page if you are interested.

Labor Day match details

This is a reminder that we will be playing a special match on Labor Day, Monday, September 6 at 10am on the Shawnee Mission East field (75th & Mission). If the field is in use, our secondary choice is Porter Park (73rd & Roe), followed by Youngs Park (77th & Antioch) as our tertiary choice.

Hope you can make it!
