About us
Sh*t at Soccer is a weekly kickabout and social group for queer women and nonbinary folks (and our allies) with a goal to get out more, try new hobbies, and meet people.
Our cornerstone event is the weekly (Sh*t at) Soccer Kickabout/Pickup Game, and we also attend Women’s Sports (Reign, Storm, etc) Games and have a “Sh*t at ____” series where we try new hobbies (sporty and non-sporty) in the Seattle area.
Currently, there’s a lot of pressure to monetize or be good at your hobbies. This is your chance to be passionately TERRIBLE at something - and have a great time doing it while potentially meeting your new best friends.
Our rules are:
- Be sh*t at soccer or bring your “Sh*t at Soccer” energy.
- No dudes! Sorry, guys.
- Don’t be the reason we have to make a third rule.
We’re an intentionally queer group, and the host is a nonbinary lesbian. We welcome trans women, cis women, non-binary folks, and non-queer allies who want to play soccer and attend events without the guys around!
Sh*t at Soccer Kickabout/Pickup Game
Hosted weekly on Sundays at 11am, this is a social-oriented pickup game. You’re welcome to come if you’re good at soccer and here for the vibes, but you’ll have just as much fun if you’re shit. We don’t run drills or keep score, everybody cheers for everybody, and honestly, we’ll cheer for you more if you go for it and totally miss than if you get a perfect goal lol. We usually head to Pitch the Baby (a Women’s Sports Bar on Capitol Hill) after the game or if we get rained out. While it is technically a bar, plenty of us just hang out and grab a bite - drinking not required.
Our Kickabout is ALWAYS FREE, you don’t have to be in shape or have any gear to attend, and parking is ALSO FREE - so basically you have no excuse not to come ;)
Shit at _______
This is an event series that answers the sentiment “I’ve always wanted to try ______”. We do everything - from pottery painting to hiking to flag football and more. Regulars vote on what we want to do next, I (Ellie) set it up, then we spend an afternoon (or evening or day) being bad at whatever the thing is. It’s a lot of fun, it’s great for our non-soccer homies, and the occasional ticketed helps keep the soccer free!

Featured event
1 Year Anniversary of Sh*t At Soccer - Dinner and Party!
On April 18th, Sh*t at Soccer is officially ONE YEAR OLD!!!!!!!! Happy birthday to us!
Let's celebrate by getting dinner at Pitch the Baby and then turning up the party at the Wildrose 🎉🎉🎉🌈🕺🪩
It should be a very fun, social night and you might see people you haven't seen in a while or find a new cutie to smooch at the rose 😘 😘
FAQs:
I'm just hearing about y'all, can this be my first event?: Yep, we'd love to have you! newbies welcome, this will be a great event to meet people.
Can I come late?: For sure! Come whenever, or skip PTB and meet us at 10pm+ at the Wildrose. I know there is also a Torrent and Sounders game that day so feel free to find us whenever those finish.
Dress code/theme?: None, but I'm sure you could talk people into one if you wanted. Message me about joining our WhatsApp chat.
How do I find you once I'm there?: We'll have a designated spot on the old Condessa side of Pitch the Baby, just look for the super long table of queer women and nonbinary folks. Honestly were hard to miss. At Wildrose, we'll be harder to find, so best of luck.
Is it cool if I don't drink?: So cool, especially at Pitch the Baby! We always have a few people who don't drink at each event. While you're still welcome, a fair warning that most of us will be inebriated at Wildrose.
Our rules still apply for this event:
- Be in the spirit of Shit at Soccer
- No boys! yep, not even for this one
- Don't make me make a third rule (which includes not getting us kicked out of the Wildrose 😂😂)

6:15-7:30pm*- Play soccer!! We play on a half-size field, have minimal rules, and basically scrimmage. While it's still a bit of a workout, we don't keep score and we cheer for everyone, so it's fun and beginner friendly.

Full disclosure: the bathrooms are porta potties and the water fountain is always broken. I don't own a rattle ball, but I'm happy to use it if you bring it. I bring a small first aid kit, extra water bottles, and ice packs.
Can I come late/leave early?: Yes! Do whatever works for you - we have people coming as late at 7 and some people who just join us for Pitch the Baby at 7:45.

*Why are we ending at 7:30pm instead of 8:00pm? Because it's fucking dark out. We'll extend it back to 6-8pm later in the season.
