We are soccer admirers attempting to organize competitive but friendly pickup soccer games on a drop-in basis in order to avoid the time commitments required for Leagues.\nVarious organizers host competitive but civil games in the New York metropolitan area. It's easy to join our soccer community and meet other footballers; come alone, with pals, or as a group.\nWe form arbitrary teams for most games when participants arrive. Join our free online Meetup group to stay up to date on upcoming sessions, chat with other players, and RSVP to participate in the games.\nYou will automatically receive game invitations via email after registration. To guarantee your spot in games, show up 15 minutes early- after that it becomes first come first serve!\nNo commitment is involved, the fee is between 3$ - 10$ per player and will go towards equipment purchases/maintenance, organizer traveling expenses, meetup dues, field permits etc.. Game time is 1 hour minimum but varies depending on venue/day/time, every session is supervised by an organizer and includes game balls, cones, goals, scrimmage vests for every player, and lots of game play.\nEach organizer is responsible for securing field permits, player sign in, setup and balance teams if necessary, provide equipment, field/goal setup and game supervision. Most game plays are setup 7v7, 8v8, or 9v9 but can carry on different days. We allow team rotations and subbing depending on numbers.\nMost venues we utilize have an artificial grass surface, we recommend turf shoes or flats shin guards are not mandatory but recommended. Some games are with referees but most games are not. Each game needs a minimum of 15 RSVP'S in order to be viable or 8 players present to play after 10 min of the scheduled time. If a game is not viable after 15 min of the scheduled time the event will be canceled and a full refund will be issued. No refunds will be issued for absence to an RSVP or cancellation 6 hours prior to the game.\nVery important: We want to keep it safe for everyone, so rough plays and/or slide tackles are NOT Allowed !\n**Please Note:** we are not liable for any injuries that may occur while playing. By RSVPing to attend our games, you accept full responsibility of your person and belongings, waiving any right to hold the group responsible anyone who loves pickup soccer. We host pick up games in Brooklyn and Manhattan. We also send players to organized soccer leagues with cash prizes.","city":"New York","state":"NY","country":"us","isPrivate":false,"isNewGroup":false,"groupPhoto":{"__ref":"Image:524815724"},"stats":{"__typename":"GroupStats","memberCounts":{"__typename":"GroupMemberCounts","all":2045}}},"Image:524880805":{"__typename":"Image","id":"524880805","baseUrl":"https://secure-content.meetupstatic.com/images/classic-events/"},"Group:37043260":{"__typename":"Group","id":"37043260","name":"The Group With No Name 😆","link":"https://www.meetup.com/turn-up-the-heat","description":"**The dark days of 2020 are gone.

We're an inclusive co-ed community of players who don't care what the score is at the end of the game - the true goal is to get a good workout and have fun! We believe that everyone deserves a chance to play, regardless of ability to pay, which is why many of our games are free or just a buck or two. We're not in this to make money - we're in this to feel good.\n\nWe host balanced games where you'll get lots of playing time, lots of touches, and no sitting on the sidelines (unless you want a break). At the end of the game we want everyone to walk away with a smile. It's all about positive vibes!\n\nRight now we host Sunday morning games at Pier 5 down at Brooklyn Bridge Park and at Asphalt Green on the Upper East Side - the best fields in the city (for real).\n\nAll skill levels are welcome and our members are very supportive, but we have 2 types of games so you can choose the best fit:\n\n**CHILL**\nThis is a laid-back kickaround for people who want to improve their skills, get into shape, and just mess around. If you're looking for a judgement-free game where you don't have to worry about \"messing up\" then this is the game for you.\n\n**CHALLENGE**\nThese are faster moving, more competitive games for experienced players. Your teammates will expect you to play at a higher level, possess and distribute the ball, and make good decisions. It's a competitive game but it's still got a supportive feel.\n\nWe'll add more games when we can find space.

We share some good (sometimes Great!) bottles of wine over food and conversation.\n\nA few times per month, we have small group dinners, either 6, 8 or 10 people at each event. The group organizers will host dinners on both weeknights and weekends. The organizer will supply 4 bottles of wine for 6 person dinners, 5 bottles of wine for 8 person dinners, and 6 bottles of wine for 10 person dinners. Most of the time, the wines will come from the event organizer's personal collection.\n\nThe cost of each event will be for an individual's share of the wine and in some cases the wine corkage charge of the restaurant. Dinner is not included and must be paid for at the event.\n\nTo attend an event, the wine payment must be made in advance, and reservations are on a first come, first serve basis. Once you pay, refunds or credits are only available if you cancel AND your spot gets filled by someone else. All refunds are subject to a cancellation fee from $3 to $5, depending on the cost of the event. There is no refund or credit for no-shows.\n\nNo other outside wine will be permitted, unless prior arrangements have been made with the host, but attendees may order wine or spirits from the restaurant, at their own expense. Attendees are expected to order at least an entree and one other item from the menu, either an appetizer, a side dish or a dessert.\n\nAlong with the wine charge, everyone will be expected/required to pay for their own meal, along with a 33% charge for tax and tip.\n\nWe will be dining at restaurants that we have established relationships with, where we can bring our own wine for us to enjoy. Corkage varies from restaurant to restaurant, from Zero to $25 per bottle.\n\nPLEASE NOTE: IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PROFILE PICTURE WHERE I CAN SEE YOUR FACE, YOU WILL BE REJECTED FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THIS GROUP.","city":"New York","state":"NY","country":"us","isPrivate":false,"isNewGroup":false,"groupPhoto":{"__ref":"Image:513476926"},"stats":{"__typename":"GroupStats","memberCounts":{"__typename":"GroupMemberCounts","all":455}}},"Image:497603449":{"__typename":"Image","id":"497603449","baseUrl":"https://secure-content.meetupstatic.com/images/classic-events/"},"Group:26962767":{"__typename":"Group","id":"26962767","name":"LIC Pickup Soccer - Advanced","link":"https://www.meetup.com/lic-soccer-meetup","description":"This meetup is created to play high quality, safe and friendly pick up soccer games.

The members are wonderful, friendly women who like to socialize, go to live music and other shows, museums etc to make friends. If you are looking for great friends and fun times, you will fit right in. Please see below for how to pay dues.\n\nI spend a lot of time looking for fun and interesting, free and discount activities, and running the group. I’ve had at least 70 free events in the past year and I’ve had over 400 events altogether in the past 3 years All events are in the evening, 2 to 3 a week. If we go to a music show where dinner is served, we go an hour early to chat and eat. We often go out for dinner before the theater or other activities.\n\n\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*\\*The dues are $40 a year to attend free events only or $60 a year to attend free and paid events. Dues are paid when you join and paid events when you RSVP. Both are paid for through PayPal, Venmo or Zelle as follows:\n\n\\*\\*\\*\\*through PayPal under the “family \u0026 friends” option or Zelle, at your bank, both at 973-202-8298 or by Venmo “friends and family“ option at @Barbara-Silverstein-7.\n\nI purchase tix to shows mostly at discount prices so that we are assured of sitting together.\n\nFor full price shows at City Winery, money is paid in advance so I can purchase tix. There is no service charge as I have an annual membership there. You save anywhere from $5 to $12 service charge per person at these shows. We have been to great shows there, including, but not limited to, seeing Kevin Bacon, his brother and their band, twice; Bettye LaVette, a long time soul singer in her 70’s, who btw, still has it; a benefit for gun safety and other great artists such as Sophie B. Hawkins, Suzanne Vega, The Bowie Bday Bash tribute, twice; Paul Reiser, the comedian. I can pick out our seats at City Winery.\n\nI have many websites where I can get discount tix for shows. Some of these websites charge for my membership. Even though I don’t know where our seats will be at some venues, we always sit together and I have never gotten bad seats. City Winery has no food/drink minimum. Most other places do. I keep my eye out for free or discount tix daily. I only set up shows for later in the day/ evenings due to medical issues that I have. For any further info please look at past, pending, and future events. Hope to meet you soon!\n\n\\*\\*\\*Sometimes group members cancel from attending free events at the last minute or next to last minute or simply do not show up. That is not fair to women on a waitlist or to me as I spend a lot of time setting up events. I keep track of these women and if you cancel twice last minute without good reason you will be placed on probation. After a 3rd time you will be dropped. Other groups do this after 2 no shows.\n\nIf a member with a paid ticket has to cancel in advance, I try to resell the ticket. If not, the ticket is offered as a free tix to members on a rotating basis.","city":"New York","state":"NY","country":"us","isPrivate":false,"isNewGroup":false,"groupPhoto":{"__ref":"Image:503136885"},"stats":{"__typename":"GroupStats","memberCounts":{"__typename":"GroupMemberCounts","all":330}}},"Image:518189183":{"__typename":"Image","id":"518189183","baseUrl":"https://secure-content.meetupstatic.com/images/classic-events/"},"Group:37435670":{"__typename":"Group","id":"37435670","name":"Sapphics of Jersey City","link":"https://www.meetup.com/sapphics-of-jersey-city","description":"If you identify as sapphic and want to meet and get to know other sapphics in the JC/Hoboken area,, this group is for you.
