We offer fun adult drop-in soccer games and tournaments for everyone in Vancouver, Denver, and the world. For people of all levels most days of the week. Pickup style means that you only come when you want. You can play any position and play as hard and as fast as you like. Most games are played on turf fields and we play rain or shine all year.
Questions:1) Will you play tonight? How long do you play each game?
Yes, instead of asking us if we have a game, please see our schedule at schedule . The only time we would not play is if the fields are closed by the field operator for some unexpected issue like snow. The schedule has the link for you to check that so you do not need to ask us. If you are on our text list, we will text you if the game is cancelled by the field operator. We play for a minimum of 1 hour but sometimes we play longer depending on the group and field.
2) Is there going to be enough players? How many players are there?
We ALWAYS have enough players. Player numbers vary by weather. Sometimes we have 50 players and sometimes we have 10. The general formula to estimate the number of players for outdoor games is temperature (degrees Celsius) plus 25.
2a) How do you split the teams/groups? Can I play with my friends?
We usually play on a full field but we may divide into smaller games if we get a lot of players. Every night is different and player numbers depend on the day, weather and temperature. Grass games are smaller. If we have 40 players we would divide the field into 2 smaller games of on 10 on 10. If we have only 10 players we would play a 5 on 5 game. In general we have been getting about 30 players and are splitting into around 2 games of 8 on 8. We can usually put you on the same team with your friends. We simply divide into even numbers when we make the teams.
3) Do I have to be serious soccer player to join?
No, please ALWAYS keep in mind our sessions and drop-in games are for FUN. We are lucky to have the crowd we have. And there are multiple games throughout the week for you to find where you feel you fit best.
4) I would love to play. How does this whole thing work? Do I just sign up and show up or do I have to be placed on a team?
You can just sign up and show up with our ticket system. Or you can also just show up and pay cash at the field but please create an account first so we know who you are. We are at the field rain, shine or snow. Teams are created randomly at each game, based on numbers. There is no selection, or guarantee that you will be placed on the same team as your friend/s.
5) How do I start and how does payment work?
You can get tickets online by buying tickets. You can still choose to pay cash at the field but please create an online cash order first so we know who you are. You have 2 choices to register and pay. You can get a 1 game ticket, or get a discount for ordering multiple tickets. If you sign up for tickets, they are good until you use them.
6) Any special instruction?
YES. HAVE FUN…ENJOY THE GAMES!!! Play any position you like, take a turn in goal, do not slide, and never complain about another player. Check the schedule page of this website for time and field updates. Don’t get lost. See Field Locations for the field locations link.
7) What should I bring?
Please bring your running gear and your soccer shoes or running shoes. We usually play on turf so turf boots are better than cleats. Shin guards are not required, but recommended.
8) Are the games for all levels? I’m a 100% beginner, but I want to start playing soccer. Please advise if your games are a good place to start or if you have any other program which would be more suitable.
YES. It does not matter what level you are – the goal of our all levels games is fun and fitness and you would be very welcome to join. We want everyone to be able to enjoy learning soccer in a no-pressure setting. We also organize tournaments.
