(Sh*t at) Pickup Soccer (SEASON KICKOFF!!!)
Details
Pickup soccer with queer women and nonbinary folks!
6:00-6:15pm - Chatting & easy warmup games
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.
After, we'll head to Pitch the Baby to chat, get food, and CELEBRATE THE START OF SOCCER SEASON!!!
What to bring:
WATER, Sneakers, 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:
- 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!! 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! Give us whatever time you have.
Dogs: This park frequently has off leash dogs running around.
This group is funded by participant donations. Our costs include first aid supplies, water bottles, soccer balls/cones/etc, and a meetup membership - cheap, but not free. Venmo @ellie-ish or contribute to the meetup group fundraiser to donate.
*Nonbinary folks, trans women, and allies all welcome and invited :) - no boys though, sorry!
**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.
