Your confirmation email arrives straight away with the venue, date and start time. You're in the lineup as soon as you book, and the game appears in the Just Play app with the game details and the lineup.
Before the game
Check the court or pitch number as well as the address, because most venues run several at once.
Wear your Just Play top or any plain black t-shirt, and shoes you can move in. See What do I wear, and what should I bring to a game?.
Bring a water bottle. Footscray and Coburg charge a $3 entry fee per player, paid to the venue at the door.
When to arrive
Arrive 10 minutes before the start time.
Those 10 minutes are when everyone says hello, works out positions and sorts out who starts. It matters more in a One Game than in a season, because the group may never have played together and there's no captain to do it for you.
Sharing the court
One Game squads usually have more players than positions, so people rotate. Agree a rotation in the first minute and stick to it, and nobody should sit out twice as much as anyone else. See Substitutions: how do subs work, and can I bring a fill-in?.
How to be, briefly
Everyone is there for the same reason. Be friendly, pass to the person who hasn't touched it yet, and go easy on anyone who is obviously new, because half the group probably is. The Player Code of Conduct applies to One Game exactly as it does to seasons.
If you can't make it after all
Cancel in the app before the day of the game and you're refunded. Pulling out on the day is a late withdrawal: there's no fee, but you lose the booking. If you're booked in and don't turn up, a $15 no-show fee applies. See Can I cancel or change a One Game booking?.
If it wasn't fun
Every One Game booking is covered by the Fun Game Guarantee. If you didn't enjoy the game, message us with the game you played and why, and we'll refund you in full.
