I haven't seen a match schedule yet, but we have the first few weeks of beer organized.
18 April: VS White 2-9 L Beer: Andre
25 April: VS TBA Beer: Matt & Adam
2 May: VS TBA Beer: Kenny & Eric
9 May: VS TBA Beer: Keith & Evan
16 May: VS TBA Beer: Jim & Charlie
The rest of the season is yet to be determined. It has been decided that we can play 11/11 or 9v9 on larger fields whenever the other teams want to do so also. Of course, the smaller side will get to decide which option we use.

Big News
First and foremost, we have a future Green Teamer to welcome to the world. On Thursday evening, Elizabeth and Dan finally got to meet Samuel Oliver Moyer face to face. Weighing in @ 7 pounds, 9 ounces and being a full 21 inches tall, we're all super excited. Elizabeth and Sam are happy and healthy and he'll meet you all this spring.
In other news, I talked with the guy from MUSL today and he seems to think he can get us in for the spring. I need to hear back from everyone who wants to play (Roger and Roscoe have already declined and the younger guys are too young... it's over 30) ASAP so I can formulate a preliminary list. Right now it looks like we'll have just enough but could use a few more people so we need to recruit maybe 3 or 4 depending how many of you choose not to play on the new team. I'll send a message to Art to see if he can ask around too.
Dan Moyer had a few good team name suggestions... I think Verde FC or Healing Waters FC would work well... unless anyone else has suggestions that trump those. I'm looking into cheap shirts this week of the green variety. They'll probably be green t-shirts, but I might be able to score some nicer jerseys on the cheap.
We'll still do the Canton 7v7 also which will stil include the younger guys, but Roger claims he's taking a year off to heal his ankle and Roscoe may be retiring from the league (he says that every year though).
You'll need to register on-line at the Canton Soccer site for the 7v7 league and in person in Royal Oak for MUSL. We can pick a night and go car-pool if anyone is interested. As Roger pointed out, the registration process could be the biggest impediment to joining this league.
In still other news, my lovely wife took it upon herself to make a Green Team fan page on Facebook. Check it out!!!

Spring 2010 News
Here's how it stands as of an hour ago. The Canton 11v11 Open adult league has become a 7v7 league and is a go for spring, summer, and fall. I imagine we can come up with two teams and they should both be pretty good, particularly now that we have Steven back so both teams can have a goalie.
As far as entering into MUSL Over-30, I talked to the guy in charge today and it sounds pretty good. They have a meeting tonight and he will let me know for sure tomorrow. A few people (Cal and Roscoe) have already said they don't want to do that, and the younger people wouldn't be eligible. Those of you who are under 30 could always join a team in one of the open divisions if you'd like and then join us when you're old enough. (Apparently, they're pretty stick.)
Like the Orange and Blue teams, those of us who join MUSL would still be able to play in Canton with the the other Green Team people... and then drink beer afterwards. Furthermore, those of you already playing Over-40 could also play Over-30 with us if you'd like (and so can Elizabeth... unlike in life, there are no gender rules in MUSL).
Of the people on the e-mail list (I don't have Ray's contact info), 2 have said they don't want to play MUSL and 2 (I think) are too young. I imagine a few more will choose not to play so I think we'll probably need to find a few more players and drum up some of the folks from years past.
I spoke with Mike at the Ypsi Rec. Dept. today, and he said we can use an Ypsi field as our home field (he promised it would be lined and mowed!) if we'd like. Let me know if you're not old enough or if you chose not to join this team soon so I can get a decent count. We can have a nice little team meeting on Saturday at The Corner Brewery between sets of Jim's band's balls-out rock and roll show.
We'll also need to come up w/ a name and talk uniform info. I suggest the cheaper the better (for shirts... not for a name). Registration will be about the same as Canton as far as pricing goes and you'll need to register on-line.
Team name suggestions???
Dynamo Ypsi (I dig the repetitive Ys... if we play out of Ypsi)
Green Team (keeping it real)
Ypsi FC
