All-Parish Football Tournament

To make our first ever All-Parish picnic a little more fun, a co-ed football game is being coordinated. You must register by August 3rd to play. All questions can be directed to Nate Poekert. See below for details and how to register!

Q. How does this work?

A. The church will be divided into 4 Groups – UWS, EastSide (UES & EV), Chelsea and Brooklyn. The winner gets bragging rights for their Parish for the next year.

Q. No Really, how does this work?

A. We will be using an abridged version of ZOG SPORTS CO-ED rules:

- There are a maximum number of players on a team but each team will FIELD 8 Players at a time. You MUST always have 3 GIRLS on the field at all times.

- 2 Hand Touch, 2 Halfs (Time TBD) 5 minute break for Halftime.

- All other rules will be explained in a later email to all participants.

Q. Awesome, I want to play, what should I do next?

A. Get a team together by contacting your lifegroup, coregroup, friends at your Parish, etc and email me your ROSTER along with the following:

- Parish (which church you attend)

- Team Name (be creative)

- Captain of the Team

Q. I only have about 5 people I could get to play. What should we do?

A. Email me those people and I’ll work on getting you on a team with other peeps.

Q. I’m new-ish to the church but I still want to play. What can I do?

A. Email me which church you go to and I’ll do my best to put you on a team with other people who go to your church.

Q. Half my team didn’t show up and it’s time to play. Are we DQd?

A. Yes.

Just kidding. It’s a church picnic. Grab some stragglers and we’ll do our best to make it work.
