All talent levels are welcome. How do we do it?<\/p>\n<p>First, we do not have set teams, or structured league play.<br \/>\nWe form 2 teams based on who shows up, so the size of the team varies.<\/p>\n<p>Second, we don&#8217;t even keep score! How&#8217;s that for being non-competitive?<br \/>\nOkay, that&#8217;s not strictly true. We try to end each evening with a &#8220;game to five.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe first team that scores 5 points (as it&#8217;s getting dark out), signals the end of the evening.<br \/>\nThen it&#8217;s time to go out for pizza or seafood, depending where we&#8217;re playing (see below).<\/p>\n<p>Third, people are generally matched up according to ability. So if you are a beginner, you don&#8217;t have to guard a superstar.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth, we try to get everybody involved in the game. That means everyone should get an equal opportunity to enjoy catching and passing.<\/p>\n<p>Fifth, everyone is encouraged to sub out regularly when there are people waiting to play on the side line. It doesn&#8217;t matter if they&#8217;re not tired &#8212; the idea is that everyone should get to play!<br \/>\nSince we&#8217;re not keeping score, people will sub out of one team, and sub in to the other.<br \/>\nYou&#8217;d better remember what team you&#8217;re on! (We use yellow pinnies to indicate one team, so please don&#8217;t wear yellow T-shirts.)<\/p>\n<p>We play <strong>Tuesday evenings, ~6:00 p.m.<\/strong>, at a field currently in Tewksbury, MA, or at Seabrook Beach, NH (see <a title=\"schedule\" href=\"http:\/\/www.frizzbee.com\/?page_id=5\">Schedule<\/a> tab).
