PICKUP SOCCER NYC was started in Fall 2006 by a group of disheartened individuals, tired of playing in games with leagues and teams that took the sport WAY too seriously… so seriously in fact that it took all the fun out of the game and playing for sport, NOT just to win! We wanted to play for fun when we wanted. We also could not find pickup games in Manhattan back in 2006. As a result we started these games. Our games are informal and recreational with an emphasis on non-competitive play and open to all.

PICKUP SOCCER NYC (PSNYC) is a nonprofit organization that holds co-ed adult recreational, organized pickup soccer games year-round (Fall, Winter, Spring & Summer) on playing fields across NYC. We are not a league and do not keep standings, we do not keep score or use refs or officials - we moderate games ourselves making our own calls. Our mission is to build a friendly and peaceful playing environment that promotes good will, camaraderie and teamwork via non-competitive play where all can join in regardless of playing ability. Our games bring together players of diverse backgrounds and nationalities from beginner to ex-pro. Attendance is not mandatory - once registered, you can attend as many or few games as you wish! We hope to see you on the pitch!
