(Sh*t at) Pickup Soccer
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.
7:30pm - Head to Pitch the Baby, a nearby women's sports bar, to get food and hang out.
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:
- 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! 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.
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.
*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.
**Nonbinary folks, trans women, and ally women all welcome and invited :)
