What we’re about
Hi all! We are soccer admirers attempting to organize competitive but friendly pickup soccer games on a drop-in basis in order to avoid the time commitments required for Leagues.
Various organizers host competitive but civil games in the New York metropolitan area. It's easy to join our soccer community and meet other footballers; come alone, with pals, or as a group.
We form arbitrary teams for most games when participants arrive. Join our free online Meetup group to stay up to date on upcoming sessions, chat with other players, and RSVP to participate in the games.
You will automatically receive game invitations via email after registration. To guarantee your spot in games, show up 15 minutes early- after that it becomes first come first serve!
No commitment is involved, the fee is between 3$ - 10$ per player and will go towards equipment purchases/maintenance, organizer traveling expenses, meetup dues, field permits etc.. Game time is 1 hour minimum but varies depending on venue/day/time, every session is supervised by an organizer and includes game balls, cones, goals, scrimmage vests for every player, and lots of game play.
Each organizer is responsible for securing field permits, player sign in, setup and balance teams if necessary, provide equipment, field/goal setup and game supervision. Most game plays are setup 7v7, 8v8, or 9v9 but can carry on different days. We allow team rotations and subbing depending on numbers.
Most venues we utilize have an artificial grass surface, we recommend turf shoes or flats shin guards are not mandatory but recommended. Some games are with referees but most games are not. Each game needs a minimum of 15 RSVP'S in order to be viable or 8 players present to play after 10 min of the scheduled time. If a game is not viable after 15 min of the scheduled time the event will be canceled and a full refund will be issued. No refunds will be issued for absence to an RSVP or cancellation 6 hours prior to the game.
Very important: We want to keep it safe for everyone, so rough plays and/or slide tackles are NOT Allowed !
Please Note: we are not liable for any injuries that may occur while playing. By RSVPing to attend our games, you accept full responsibility of your person and belongings, waiving any right to hold the group responsible.
