Please respond: Re: Saturday soccer

[xiaojun xia]

Hi all soccer fans and buddies,

Hope you all are doing well!  I am asking your opinion for setting up soccer practice at UT field.

As you may know, lately we had issue for using Rice field. I have not been actively joining the practice, and we have a passionate member, Jake, kindly offer to organize the soccer practice at UT field.

Jake is a faculty member with UT, so he has the resource to book the field for us. Still we need to pay about $25 every time. If we have as many active members as we did last year, I assume everyone just need to contribute $1-2 every time. Jake is tentatively proposing for $30 per person for a half year.

I know that UT field is not perfect, but it still offer convenience for many people living around, so please kindly respond to Jake's email to express your opinion, yes or no. We can discuss more details like time, date, and money issues in the follow-up emails.

Please, please remember to reply if you are interested or not, so we can have a reliable resource to play soccer, and no need to worry about field, time, and participants.

Thank Jake for taking this role and thank you all for your response in advance!

Hi all,



As you may know, we are trying to organize regular Saturday afternoon soccer games at the UT rec center field. According to the person in charge, the rental fee for TMC-affiliated activities would be $25/hr. I heard that they don't really monitor the duration closely so it is possible that we just need to pay for 1h ($25) each time. We will find out for sure after we start making reservations.



I am writing this email to gauge your interest in participation. Please let me know, at your earliest convenience, whether you can contribute $30 as a seed fund for field reservation over the next 6 months. Once I have enough enrollments, I will work on the paperwork and we can go from there.



Thanks for your prompt reply to this matter.

By the way, I still keep the small goals that we purchased last time, and they stay in my balcony for maybe half years already. Hopefully we can still make the best use of them.

Have a great evening!

Hi all,

Thank you for your response and Jake told me we have close to 10 members expressed interest in Saturday soccer practice at UT field. I think we can start from there and I expect more friends will join. Thank Jake for figuring out the field reservation procedures for us.

I heard Rice field is still not open for this Saturday, but it is too late to book the UT field, so maybe we can get together 5:30pm this Saturday at UT field (outside of the fence) to play soccer and discuss more. I will bring the small goals. The field outside is always free but the problem is that UT gym may force us to leave at any moment.

 

For those who don't play often, an alternative way is just to bring $1 or $2 every time when you show, still helpful to keep it running.

Jake also offer to look around the parks nearby to see if we can find a free field in case the expense becomes an issue in the future.

We all played soccer together for quite a while and you all are my buddies, so feel free to speak out your thoughts or concerns. I hope to see you on the field soon!

Have a nice weekend!

Xiaojun
