05 Match FAQ
Know before
you play.
The essentials for a smooth first match. Event-specific details will always be posted on Meetup.
View upcoming matches01How old do I need to be?
Hudson Athletic FC games are for adults age 18 and over.
02What skill level is expected?
Players should have meaningful playing experience and be comfortable with positioning, combination play, and making decisions under pressure. You do not need an elite résumé—awareness, fitness, reliability, and team play matter most.
03What footwear should I bring?
Most games are on turf. Turf shoes or molded cleats are generally appropriate; metal studs are not. Check the Meetup event details for the specific venue.
04Are pinnies provided?
Yes. We organize teams and provide pinnies when needed. Bring your regular football gear, water, and a light and dark shirt as a backup.
05How does goalkeeper rotation work?
Dedicated goalkeepers are always welcome. When a match does not have enough keepers, players rotate in goal so the responsibility is shared fairly.
06What happens in bad weather?
Any cancellation or schedule change is posted on Meetup as early as possible. Always check the event page before leaving for the field.
07How long are the matches?
Match length varies by format and field reservation. The exact arrival, kickoff, and end time is listed on each Meetup event.
08Can I bring a guest?
Ask an organizer first. Every guest must be approved, hold their own confirmed spot, and sign the player waiver before taking the field.
