What will the schedule look like?
The first matches of the 2012 season will be in mid-June.
We will play Saturday games in June.
We will play on Thursday evenings and Saturdays through July, beginning after the 4th of July weekend.
The usual start time for Saturday matches is between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Most clubs like to play early to avoid the heat of the day, and also to free up the rest of the Saturday. Our home matches usually will begin at 10:00am but could go as early as 8:00am.
Once the season matures (after the 4th of July weekend), we will have Thursday evening matches as well, both home and away. These usually begin by 6:30pm at the latest, and we will play until dark, usually about 8:30.
There will be an end-of-season tournament at the end of July or the beginning of August. This will be a two-day tournament, with the touch play on Saturday, and the tackle play on Sunday.
Who will we play?
Our likely opponents are listed here.
We’ll play Springfield, Alexandria, Burke, Chantilly, Vienna, McLean, Winchester, Warrenton, Howard County, Braddock Road, Fairfax Police Youth Club, and others.
There are new clubs in the Hampton/Norfolk area, and there are new clubs in the Richmond area; we may have an opportunity to play them.
