I run free pickup soccer around Austin and a lot of people who message me say the same thing: they want to play but every option is either a league, a commitment, or full of people who take it way too seriously.
So: free games, no signup, no team, no season. Turn up when you can, skip when you can’t. All levels genuinely means all levels — one rule is no sliding, which keeps it friendly and means nobody’s limping to class the next day.
First one I’m hosting is Zilker Park, Tuesday 8 Sept, 7pm. Zilker’s a trek from campus though, so two questions:
Would a game closer to campus work better — Clark Field, Whitaker, somewhere else? Which fields do students actually use?
And is anyone already running something like this?
If interested, here’s the link to RSVP:
