Bringing humans and grassroots soccer together
Since 2008 we’ve hosted a vibrant community of players and clubs, becoming one of New York City’s premier soccer leagues. Whether you’re a seasoned player, or getting back to the game. We offer sporting on field play and a laidback everything else.
League levels vary from one to three, so your skills are matched and your tekkers improve! Games are competitive but not overboard. Just one reason players and teams return each season. Register a team, as a group of friends, or as an individual for a recreational reboot.
We believe soccer creates connections that extend beyond the field. Our leagues foster friendships, build community, and a sense of belonging in NYC.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the sport, Group Stage provides a welcoming environment where people from all backgrounds can come together through their shared love of soccer.
