Dear Houstonians

I'm sure there was a post in recent times regarding the following, but I can't find it, if it ever existed,

Does anyone know of a casual football meet, catering for the middle aged expat trying to manage his expanding waistline?

Northwest Houston would be perfect, but willing to travel.

Thanks.

Do you really mean veterans or do you mean old people?!

Hey, Bink...he's calling you old

He means old people.

Let me have some coffee and I'll see if I can find the post you're referring to.
In short though there are plenty of places to play and also over 30 and over 40 leagues. I also live in the NW (cypress) and am not aware of pickup games close by (most of the pickup games I'm aware of are more central) but can easily find out for you (I play indoor 6-a-side at Kicks and Southwest) and play league on a Sunday.

Expanding waistline is right. Certainly starting to feel old though.

Here ya go.

Bink, you are a star. Thank you. Now to commence waist-management

Have you thought of asking West Ham, if you are a defender?

No problem. Playing footy is probably one of the reasons I settled in so quickly - I made some great friends plus I love playing so it was a win-win for me. Let me know if you're having trouble finding anyone/where to play. I just remembered there is a place up 290 that has coed over 30's (possibly also over 40's though not certain) that apparently is pretty good. I would have checked it out myself but my wife thinks I play enough footy as it is...!

Are you wanting to competitively (I use the word loosely - there are plenty of teams/divisions where the emphasis is on having fun rather than it being a super competitive environment and I really mean in an organized fashion for a team) or just going down the park and being able to have a kick around?
