Saturday Games

YOUR FIRST SATURDAY

Same field. Always room for one more.

No tryouts. No pressure. Whether you play every week or are finding your feet again, come for the exercise and the company.

When

Every Saturday at 8 am.

Arrive a little early to warm up.

Where

Marsh Creek Park, Raleigh, North Carolina.

Pack your game-day bag

For the field

Soccer boots or turf shoes, without metal studs. Bring shin guards and both a blue shirt and a red shirt, so teams can balance up.

For yourself

Water and a little good energy. Give yourself time to warm up before playing.

For the sideline

Families are welcome. A folding chair and a cooler make it easy to settle in.

How Saturday works

Say hello when you arrive, warm up and join a team. Games rotate so people can play. Stay afterward for a cooldown, a chat and the familiar Saturday gist.

A few things you might be wondering

Do I have to be Nigerian or African?

The games are spirited and friendly. Respect and fair play come first.

Can I bring my family?

Yes. Spouses and kids are welcome on the sideline.

Do I need to register for my first visit?

Your first visit is free, with no sign-up needed. Come out, introduce yourself and meet the group.
