Bringing humans and grassroots soccer together.
Our aim is singular, to offer fun and inclusive Soccer in NYC. Since 2008 we’ve hosted leagues, tournaments and charity events. We’re committed to an optimal soccer experience, so your game can thrive. Join a community of players and clubs for a recreational reboot.
Register as a team, an individual or group of friends and level up your game. League play is competitive but not overboard – sensible soccer. Just one reason players and teams return each season. Participants reflect the diversity and creativity of NYC – which we’re proud of. We believe soccer can help build social capital and play a positive role in our local communities.
Matches are officiated by qualified referees following International Football Association rules. There are a few exceptions, these are outlined in the league rules and bylaws.
We organize pickup games throughout the year in NYC. These are relaxed social scrimmages with an emphasis on passing and team play. A chance to break a sweat and share your love of the beautiful game.
