What we’re about
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!
This August & September, join us for a season of Simply Social fun! There's absolutely nothing better than participating in a recreational, all-skill levels welcome intramural league! It's so nice getting to know new people in a really laid back way over the length of a season, playing games and then over drinks at your walkable league sponsor bar afterwards with all teams.
We've got Kickball, 16" Softball, Beach Volleyball, Singles Skeeball (for singles!) and Family Feud Trivia. They're all a blast!
REGISTER TO JOIN US by yourself or with friends and get placed on a team for the season! Want to participate but can't make it to every game? No problem! We put extra players on every team for this very reason.
NOTE: I'VE GOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT FALL LEAGUES THAT RUN FROM AUGUST-OCTOBER AND PLAY SUNDAY-FRIDAY ALL OVER THE CITY! THE DATE AND LOCATION SHOWN FOR THIS MEETUP EVENT ARE JUST A PLACEHOLDER. CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE FOR THE FULL LEAGUE OPTIONS, DETAILS & TO REGISTER FOR A SUPER FUN SEASON!! https://s3leagues.com/fall-leagues
**Send me a DM if you have any questions and I'll get back to you right away!**
WHY JOIN S3 SIMPLY SOCIAL SPORTS LEAGUES?
I started S3 Leagues 16 years ago in an effort to create more social, welcoming leagues that focus on having fun and meeting new people. Since then, over 97,000 past players (yeah that many lol) have experienced what makes them so great and popular!
Hanging out with the same group week after week for 5-7 weeks makes it pretty effortless to build lasting relationships. That's the best part :)
ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME, aka no experience required! Simply register by yourself or with friends and I'll put you with others around your age for the season. Then before we start I'll email EVERYTHING you need to know for the season including your teammate info, the full schedule, how/where we play and TONS more!
FULL DETAILS & REGISTRATION: https://s3leagues.com/fall-leagues

Grab your floaties and coolers and JOIN US on our 12th annual float trip! Hang out with 2 busloads (110 people!) of fun-loving and friendly Meetup folks for THE BEST day trip EVERRRRR!
This trip is an amazing way to get out of the city and onto tubes floating down a river with a drink in hand under the warm summer sun. You just can't beat it :) And these trips sell out REALLY early, so save your spots here right away!
THE TRIP INCLUDES OUR DELICIOUS ALL YOU CAN EAT TACO BAR LUNCH! After a float and some drinks, there's nothing better than chowing down on an all you can eat taco bar lunch! This includes hard and soft shells, ground beef, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, sour cream, rice, and chips & salsa!! Yummmmmmm.
We go on this trip 2 different dates. One on Saturday, July 19th and another on Saturday, August 16th. Sign up for the one that works best for you! They're both a blast. REGISTER HERE!
It's only $88 to attend! Well actually $91.73 because we have to pay a $3.73 processing fee per ticket. We have a lot of costs to cover which is why the event costs this much, and the cost of our buses went up this year. But trust me, it's worth it for how much fun you'll have this day! It really will be THE BEST day of your summer!
THE TRIP INCLUDES:
- Round trip coach bus transportation. We ride in super nice buses, aka way more expensive, but worth it! They've got bathrooms and TVs (to watch movies there/back!) for a higher level of comfort.
- Your personal float tube. Tubes that hold your cooler can be shared and purchased for $10 cash upon arrival. Each cooler tube can hold 2 large standard sized coolers so you can share with others.
- Lunch. ALL YOU CAN EAT taco bar when we get out of the river after floating.
The event in a nutshell:
- Show up to the bus with your own BYOB cooler and snacks.
- We drive ~2 hours into Indiana watching movies, then arrive at the river and float with Riverside Rentals.
- Grab our tubes and float/drink/chat/relax for ~3 hours.
- Get out of the river and chow down on all you can eat tacos.
- Board the bus and head back to sweet home Chicago!
The Schedule:
*All times are listed in Chicago time (Central Standard Time)9:15 am SHARP - Buses Depart Chicago
(meet on the NW corner of Sheffield and Fullerton, you'll see big coach buses and we'll check you in)12:00 pm - Buses arrive at the river and we float!
3:30 pm - Float ends at the tubing place, get out, eat lunch, freshen up and finish your drinks.
4:30-5:00 pm - Head back to Chicago
(drop off at the same place we started the day)~6:30-7:00 pm - Arrive in Chicago
A COUPLE FINAL THINGS:
- You can leave anything you'd like on the bus while we're floating. They'll be locked and waiting for us right when we get out.
- No hard liquor allowed. No exceptions. No glass containers.
- Drinking alcohol isn't allowed on the bus rides.
- DO NOT sign up for this trip if you plan to get drunk. We will all get a nice buzz going on the trip but don't need anyone being irresponsible.
I look forward to enjoying the day with everyone! Please send me a message if you have any questions at all.
