American Football

by **tluong96** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 2:39 pm

Hi all,

I'm from the States and am dying to play some American Football, but have no idea if there is a group that goes and plays. Does anybody know of any groups or where people play? I even have my own ball too. It doesn't matter if its two hand touch or tackle as long as its football. Any help would be much appreciated...Thanks!!!

Hi, I'm from Italy and I like american football. Actually I just played a few times, never in a real team, but if you need a player, you can contact me.

by **tluong96** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 1:57 pm

Great! Do you know of anybody else who would like to play or any places to play in Shanghai? If not, would you want to meet up just to even toss the football around?

Why not?! I live in Puxi, near the big stadium. I was thinking we can play in a university campus (like Jiaotong university) and maybe find someone else there.

I can join on weekends. I also have at least one co-worker who will definitely play, but he is an Eagles fan

Let me know details.

Great!...well I'm actually meeting up with somebody to throw the ball around and hopefully pick up some people to play at jiaotong university...we're meeting at 4pm at exit 13 of the shanghai stadium stop....i'll bring the ball

by **afei** » Sat Sep 08, 2007 4:52 pm

Very well! Actually the metro station is "Xujiahui" station (line 1), not the "stadium". exit n° 13.

No worries, I'm sure there will be other times..and if you know people who'd like that'd be cool to let them know...i'll keep ya posted on the next time we toss ball around..by then hopefully we can get a full game going...

Anybody else interested in playing? It doesn't matter if you're a guy or girl..all are welcome... Send me your email and number (via PM) and we can all get together and organize a game

I am moving to Shanghai on Friday from Bangkok, Thailand. I am a huge American Football fan, and I would love to get some games going. Drop me a PM and I will certainly join in for game once I get my bearings on the city. I can PM my cell # once I get a Chinese SIM for my mobile.

Hey capricous..great! I'll be in contact with ya...anybody else?

I think we're going to play next Sunday (23th). Last time we played at Zhongshan Park. Is it fine for you?

by **tluong96** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 9:31 am

Ok so lets try this again...I'm trying to get people together for Sunday the 23rd. at either Zhongshan Park or Century Park. Century park has really nice fields and not many people around, but a small fee of 10rmb to get into the park. I was looking at around 4pm to play. Send me a PM if you're down for joining and bring as many people as you want..it'd be nice to actually have a game..talk to you guys soon!

You'd likely get more interest posting on the sports site:

by **prcshcom** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 12:25 pm

I used to be quite good at it. But I like to watch the games more now. Anyway, I might drop by tomorrow. Just show up right? Which metro exit is to the main gate?

by **afei** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 12:48 pm

I forgot the exit number, but the park is just in font of the metro station (line 2 green, Zhongshan park station).

For tshiekman, you can take line 2 from Jin'an temple (or Nanjing west road) and stop at Zhongshan park.

by **tluong96** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 8:41 pm

hey yea just show up at the main gate at Zhongshan park. I think it exit 4 but i'm not sure...there are signs there . I'll be there with the football and as tommy said, he'll be there with his westbrook jersey.

by **afei** » Sat Oct 13, 2007 9:21 am
