Lunchtime soccer at friends school is a fiercly competitve league of playground soccer at the friends school. It consists of two teams.
The team with two state players one regional player and;
the team consisting of nobody particularly important.
Originally teams were decided by trialing different house groups mixed together until we found the perfect mix. That is... Fry and Oats against Penn, Walker, Backhouse and Mott.
Rules:
The rules are that you just play for the fun of it until the bell goes.
When the bell goes it gets serious. it becomes golden goal. That means that the team that scores the first goal after the bell finishes ringing wins the game.
There are no second chances and even if the game is continued to be played after, it is in the spirit of non competitive fun and there are no possibilties of winning from the after play. The teams play on in the understanding that the official game has been finished already.
When a teacher comes and attempts to call off the game: The game has not ended until a player picks up the ball in his hands and walks al the way off the ground. Upon the completion of this task the game has been ended and has been officially drawn.
The three sessions (Morning before school starts, Reccess and lunch time) are all included and it is the team who has won the most sessions that day.
If the ball is lost in golden goal time then the team of the person who kicked it over has lost that session.
If there is less than three sessions in one day than it is still the best of however many games are played. If each team wins one game and that day only has two sessions then the day is a draw.
At the end of the week the team who has won the most games wins the week.
If you use your hands your a silly fool. On the grass there are no penalties and if you kick it over you have to get it.
At the end of the year, the team with the most wins of weeks wins the year. In Year 2006 the Team of Fry & Oats won the year.
Everybody from different schools should feel free to ad information about their unofficial soccer/football lunchtime leagues.
