Terms & Conditions ⚖️

if you want to play, set RSVP to Going-Yes, on the event page.
In case you change your mind : set the RSVP to NO, so the next eager person in line can join.

Play as little or often as you want; no obligations to play every week. We usually have 2 events per week (Midweek-eve & Sat-morn).

If you want to bring a guest : please let them create a Meetup account (takes a few seconds with Google/FB login), then request to join the SoccerHague group. You could write a message to the organizers, to speed up the acceptance-process.
So basically only members can come to our events.

please check the instructions on the event. Usually there's a round of contribution at the end of every month.
Organizing is a job. We like footy, not extra administration work. It’s up to the participant to take care of payment. We thank you very much for your interest, participation and contribution

the target persona for our events is : international minded people of 23 years & older (53..?) .
Sometimes locals or juniors play along, but it’s not ment for groups of already-friends who dont mingle. Everyone is an individual who blends in the diverse Meetup group. That’s what participants value in SoccerHague events : getting to know other international-minded people who live like they’re traveling.
 

Participants also need to have a certain base-line of skill level of the game, and a certain stamina. If it’s not possible to blend into the game we advice to look for club that has a focus on beginners or maybe seniors.

SoccerHague is a place to meet new people, have fun & stay fit. Play to enjoy : having a good time & feeling fit is what matters most.

Bring positivity; spread GOOD VIBES & respect, not anger or conflict. It doesnt cost that much to do so; the investment is low & returns very high.

Don’t be too serious and swearing at your team-mates or opponent. You won’t get into the history books if you win, nor will you get sacked of you loose. It’s just for fun.
Some people are 25 years old, some are 50. Older are more experienced, young are faster. Try to look for eachothers strong sides.

at SoccerHague it should always feel like we’re playing in safe-mode, because its just for fun & fitness.
Playing rough isnt allowed. We don’t do slidings, hard tackles or bodychecks here.

Be super careful not to injure someone. No sliding a day, keeps the doctor away 🍏.
For (semi)professional football players there’s so much at stake ; injuries are much more a calculated risk of their business. Our players come for fun only.

There's Dutch laws on sports injuries and accountability. Play carefully and you'll always be safe & unliable.
For the rest we have our own rules, and do not care per se what is permitted or not by soccer institutions like KNVB, UEFA or FIFA.
Dont worry, its still football..

building a community works better when people can recognize eachother. Members on SoccerHague are required to upload a recognizable PROFILE PIC.
The photo doesnt have to be a closeup, as long as it’s recognizable for members & admins (can be from some meters away).

Over the years the few conflicts that ever occured at events have been with ‘faceless’ people (such as no photo, or a pic of an animal or a building for instance).
PS : on Meetup you can have a unique profile pic for every group you’re in. So if you prefer it’s possible to upload a faceless profile pic for all other groups you’re member of. You can do that only via a desktop (not mobile app).
