About us
Sh*t at Soccer is weekly pickup soccer for sapphics and enbys (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. We also attend Women’s Sports (Reign, Storm, etc) Games and occasional other social events (attend holiday markets, etc).
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 Fridays from 6-8pm, 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 ;)

6:15-8:00pm*- 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.
8:15pm - Head to Pitch the Baby, a nearby women's sports bar, to get food and hang out. If you don't want to play soccer but would like to hang out with us, head to Pitch the Baby at this time.What to bring:
WATER, shoes and clothes you can move in.
Cleats and shin guards are optional, we'll provide cones and balls.Don't let lack of supplies stop you from showing up!!! Playing in sneakers and street clothes is totally normal in our group.
Rules:

- No dudes! Sorry, guys**
- Don't be the reason we have to make a third rule
Parking: Super easy!! Judkins has a parking lot and tons of free street parking.
Accessibility: We take regular water/rest breaks. Most of us are not in shape - especially after taking winter off. 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 you can always skip the soccer and meet us at Pitch The Baby after.
Dogs: This park frequently has off leash dogs running around.
