(Sh*t at) Soccer Kickabout/Pickup Game
Details
Play soccer with queer women and nonbinary folks!
SWITCHING TO SUNDAY AM because it is too dark on Friday evenings. We'll likely switch back to Fridays in the spring.
Allies also welcome
11:00-11:15 - Chatting & easy warmup games
11:15-1:00 - Scrimmage!! We play on a smaller than standard field and switch off who is in goal. While it's still a bit of a workout, it's more fun than competitive - we rarely ever keep score and we cheer for everyone.
What to bring:
WATER, Sneakers, Clothes you can move in
You're welcome to wear any protective gear (shin guards, cleats, etc) that works for you, but don't get them if you don't already have em. Which brings me to:
Don't let lack of supplies stop you from showing up. I bring a ball, pinnies, cones, etc.
Rules:
- Be shit at soccer or bring your "shit-at-soccer" energy
- No dudes! Sorry, guys
- Don't be the reason we have to make a third rule
Parking: Super easy!! There is a parking lot and tons of free street parking. It's generally safe, but don't leave any high-ticket items (laptops etc) visible in your car.
Accessibility: We take regular water/rest breaks and folks can sub in/out of games whenever. Most of us are not in shape. Full disclosure: the bathrooms are pretty shitty and I've never seen the water fountain NOT 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 and ice packs in case of injuries.
Can I come late/leave early?: Yes! Our format makes it easy to accommodate whatever time you have.
Dogs: This park frequently has off leash dogs running around.
I (Ellie) pay for a monthly for a meetup subscription and buy all of our supplies/first aid kits. If you would like to help offset costs and keep our events free, contribute to my venmo @ellie-ish ! As of Sept 12 you have raised: 80$ in 2025 :)
