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.
