About us
Hello and Welcome to 20 and 30 Somethings Meetup!
We’re excited to have you join our vibrant community here in Chicago! Whether you’re new to the city, looking to make new friends, or just want to be more active, you’ve come to the right place.
Our group is all about getting together and having fun. We organize a wide variety of events throughout the year, from exploring the city's hidden gems, catching the latest shows, grabbing drinks at the coolest spots, and meeting new people. Chicago has so much to offer, and we aim to experience it all together.
One of the highlights of our group is our “Simply Social” coed recreational intramural leagues. These leagues are perfect for those looking to stay active, have fun, and make new friends and connections. We offer a diverse range of league options that play on various days of the week, all over the city, and throughout the year. Whether you’re into 16" softball, kickball, volleyball, bowling, trivia, etc, there’s something for everyone.
We also host a variety of fun social events! And we’re always on the lookout for new organizers to bring fresh ideas and plan exciting activities. If you have an idea for a fun event – whether it’s a casual hangout, a group outing, a trip, or a show – don’t hesitate to reach out to the group Organizer Ben (that's me!). I’ll help you figure out how to make it happen, plan out the details or simply allow you to post it if it’s ready to go.
We believe in making the most of what Chicago has to offer and building a strong, supportive community of 20 and 30 somethings who love to have fun and stay active.
We can’t wait to see you at our next event!
Featured event
Play Social 16" Softball, Kickball and Beach Volleyball! We'll put you on a team
When Summer finally arrives in Chicago, it's our goal to be outside enjoying the weather as much as possible. And there's absolutely nothing better than joining a social intramural league that focuses on making new friends just as much as the games. It's a blast getting to know new people playing and then afterwards over drinks at your league sponsor bar that all teams walk to!
Hanging out with the same group week after week for 5-7 weeks makes it pretty effortless to build lasting relationships over the duration of the season. That truly is the best part of my leagues :)
ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME (aka no experience required) and we can place anyone aged 21-42 on a team. Simply register by yourself or with friends and I'll put you with others around your age for the season.
Want to get on a team but can't make it to every game? No problem! We put extra players on every team for this very reason.
REGISTER TO JOIN US as we MEETUP for some coed, recreational level "Simply Social" sports leagues!

$5 First Fridays Stand Up Comedy Shows at Chicago's best venue!
The World Famous Laugh Factory, 3175 North Broadway Street, Chicago, IL, USThe Laugh Factory in Lakeview (Broadway & Belmont) is open for comedy and we all could use some laughs! We always get A LOT of people to attend these shows. Often times over 100 Meetup members!
If you attend by yourself or with friends and want to be seated in the Meetup group section, simply request this when you check in at the ticket booth! Then just say hi to those around you :)
Every First Friday of the month we get $5 TICKETS to their shows at 7:00, 9:15 & 11:30 pm. They're ALWAYS hilarious!
--------------------------------
Get your $5 tickets ASAP before the quantity they give us get sells out. And with our "laugh or get a refund" policy (that has never in 4 years been requested), I know you'll enjoy your MUCH NEEDED night out! This event is posted in lots of different Meetup groups, so the RSVP # won't show how many are actually attending.

*You can purchase tickets for several people and multiple shows this night through the link. No physical tickets will be issued. Your name will be on a list at the door and all tickets will be under the purchaser's name. Groups of up to 6 people can be sat together if arriving together.
Please Note: These shows are for ages 18+ w/ ID. If you show up after start time you will not be able to enter. There is a 2 drink minimum per person per show (non-alcoholic or alcoholic). Drinks are reasonably priced, and a comedy show is funnier with a few drinks, so this shouldn't be an issue with how cheap our tickets are :) Also, an 18% service fee (aka gratuity) will be applied to all drink tabs at payment to be given directly to service staff.
No refunds or exchanges but tickets can be transferred.

North Avenue Beach Tues-Fri 5-Week Coed Social Leagues! Get placed with others!
North Ave Beach - South End, 1603 N Lake Shore Dr,, Chicago, IL, USHey all! For the past 16 years, I've been running coed recreational (all levels welcome) 6 vs 6 leagues on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night, and also a Friday night league where everyone is single (as in not dating anyone!). Plus after games for each league, all teams walk to the same bar to hang out, build relationships with their teammates and meet others, and get exclusive specials as well as some free beer.
If you want to hit the beach for some fun games under the Chicago summer sun, these leagues are perfect for you :)
------------------------------
What makes S3 Simply Social Sports Leagues so popular and unique?
S3 Leagues are way more than just leagues. First, I run the most welcoming all-levels social league experience in the city. Full teams do register a lot, but you can also join as an individual or with friends and I'll put you on a team of other free agent players around your age (teams are made for ages 21-42). This provides each player with a unique league experience where the social part is just as important as the games themselves.
Gotta miss a week or two? No problem! There a few extra players on each free agent team because we know people can't make it every week.
SIGN UP to play by yourself or with friends and get placed on a coed team of other free agent players around your age for the season! It's just $70 per player or $595 per full team on Tues/Wed/Thurs. And $65 per player or $525 per full team on Fridays.
CHECK OUT THE FULL DETAILS AND REGISTER FOR SPRING LEAGUES STARTING IN LATE MAY HERE
------------------------------
LEAGUES INCLUDE:
- 3 week regular season, final 2 weeks are playoff tournaments and ALL teams play both weeks! Teams divided up into multiple independent playoffs divisions based on rankings (aka skill level) and all teams play for prizes the final week!
- Team player shirts in your sizes!
- Post-game hang outs and specials at our league sponsor bar!
