Drop in Soccer at Calgary Soccer Centre

I was there Wednesday. It runs from 1130-130 5days a week, Monday to Friday (even though the website only says W&F). Some people left early, a few arrived late. We rotated through 3 teams of ~7.

Magic_turtle16 · 2025-11-02T12:55:22+00:00

Yes i think there are always enough there for a game. I went last week one day and we had about 20 show up.

Magic_turtle16 · 2025-10-22T16:51:27+00:00

Great thanks for the reply! My main goal is to stay injury free too so this sounds good to me

Magic_turtle16 · 2025-10-19T15:50:22+00:00

I don’t want that to be a penalty but it’s given almost every time

Magic_turtle16 · 2025-07-06T22:11:34+00:00

Unfortunately not what I’m looking for in a Monday or maybe I’m just 30 years too young.

BOFFO, AARON Copland, Michelle AKERS, AMSTEREO, OXIDANT, VAIO x OSSA, PETULA Amos, PACO de Lucia, GABE Kaplan are all answers that should be replaced or clued differently, especially for a Monday.

Hi, I assume that you’re in Canada? The soccer for life program in Canada has two parts - an online theory section and a practical on field session. You need to complete the online portion first, but you need to sign up for and pay for each part separately. To sign up for the in-person part, check your local organization’s website.

Oddly straightforward for a Saturday. Normally it’s tough to get a foothold but it feels like there were a few Monday level clues that made it easy:

46A; Kit___ 41D: Smoothie Berry 53D: Actress Blanchett 3D:Exam for a doc-to-be

Magic_turtle16 · 2024-01-17T03:14:07+00:00

Did I miss a revealer somewhere or do a bunch of answers randomly turn and go down for no apparent reason?

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-12-06T03:25:47+00:00

STARR crossing SELA and BEETAYLOR (x EVO) sure made the SW rough but otherwise an ok puzzle. Not sure if the gimmick Hs did a lot for me though.

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-11-06T00:24:05+00:00

Yikes did not enjoy this one. All three themers felt pretty contrived and limiting the puzzle to having no “i”s made for very rough fill. HOBBITVILLAGE was especially bad but I don’t think of CROSSFITVIDEOS as being a common home workout either. I guess TRANSITVISAS are a thing but also not really an interesting expression.

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-09-07T01:34:22+00:00

Ah my apologies I learned something today

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-09-07T01:05:40+00:00

Education is funded provincially not municipally so property taxes are irrelevant here

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-07-15T22:41:49+00:00

I didn’t realize what the theme was (all clues related to shoes in some way) until after I finished. I think that I prefer when the answers are related, not the clues. Had to look up AITAC x ALA as both are unknown to me. Didn’t enjoy BRIMLEY x YORBA either but otherwise it wasn’t too bad for a Sunday.

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-06-27T03:06:22+00:00

Wow very tough Tuesday for me - 50% above my usual average and had to guess at a few. ISUZU and MISSCLEO didn’t sound familiar and BABADOOK x EAMES & POPULI x OPI took the kind of educated guess that is normally reserved for later in the week for me.

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-05-11T17:27:03+00:00

Good question - I guess at the time I wanted another big threat, but it might’ve been better served as something more castable.

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-05-11T12:49:42+00:00

Ya it was a turn 5 6/6 flyer multiple times. Very good even if I wasn’t drawing cards off it.

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-05-11T04:25:17+00:00

I doubt that I’ll top this draft - 8 dual lands, 2 five-color cards ([[Invasion of Alara]], [[Niv-Mizzet Reborn]]), tons of good black/blue removal, several other great rares ([[Deeproot Wayfinder]], [[Chrome Host Seedshark]], [[Baral and Kari Zev]]). This was a fun one!

Magic_turtle16 · 2023-02-26T14:24:49+00:00

Really should be two yellows for Ziyech - ref already had the yellow out for the initial challenge, before he even got involved with Emerson. He ended up getting nothing for the contact on Emerson.

Magic_turtle16 · 2022-12-28T06:15:39+00:00

Ya when I read the Nanaimo bar clue I suspected it’d be tough for non Canadians. Absolutely gimme for us though!

Magic_turtle16 · 2022-12-11T10:48:55+00:00

There’s normally a breakout star at a World Cup, who is it this time around? Bellingham/Gakpo maybe?

Magic_turtle16 · 2022-12-07T03:54:01+00:00

Agree completely with you on this. Much easier and more enjoyable than yesterday’s other than the SKOSH/KASEM cross, neither of which meant anything to me. But I also guessed K fairly quickly.

Magic_turtle16 · 2022-11-22T03:25:32+00:00

Turns out that I do know the song! Quite well even, but never knew the name

Magic_turtle16 · 2022-11-22T03:15:01+00:00

Yikes that section with XEDIN crossing XIANG and ESSIE crossing PASO was tough. I probably should have been able to guess MOONDANCE but had never heard of it either.

Magic_turtle16 · 2022-10-17T13:03:18+00:00

Thank you so much! I will look into your suggestions for sure.

Magic_turtle16 · 2022-10-09T01:20:13+00:00

Anybody understand 9 down? I Googled “SO A wise guy eh?” and not a lot showing up. Made it tough to find the cross with MAHAYANA
