Solo or with friends

Bring your crew, or come alone like most players do. We sort the teams when you arrive to keep the game even.

No chasing players or worrying about last-minute dropouts. If someone cancels, we find a replacement so the game can go ahead as planned.

“Recently moved to the city and was looking for a way to find semi organized games, moderate skill level, with flexibility around my schedule. The app makes it really easy to find a game. I've been now to three games and all have been solid.”

I searched almost everywhere for a starting point and came across GoodRec - I have never felt more welcomed in a community and I’ve made so, so many friends due to this app!!! It’s easy to sign up, and there are so often discount codes to save some money - I love it :)”

Your questions answered

What is pickup?

A pickup game is a one-off game anyone can join. No team to bring, no equipment needed, no season to commit to. Book your spot at a time and place that suits you, then just show up and play.

What sports can I play?

GoodRec runs soccer, basketball and volleyball games. Each game lists its own day, time, location and format, so you can check the details before you decide to play. Which sports run near you depends on your city — the app shows what is available.

How do I check if there are games near me?

Pick your city, then your sport. You will see every game near you with its location, date, time and whether spots are still open.

Can I bring a friend with me?

Absolutely. Have them grab their own spot in the app so we know the numbers. Only people who have paid and are on the game list can play.

Do I need to be at a specific level to join a game?

We play for fun and all skill levels are welcome. You will get a good sweat in without it being too competitive. If a game is for a specific level, it says so in the description.

Do I have to pay for games in advance?

Yes. You claim your spot in the app and pay to reserve it — it is how we know a game has enough players to run. Prices vary by sport, venue and time.

What if I can't make it?

Cancel in the app and your spot comes back as game credit, which you can put towards any future game. The cancellation window is shown on the game itself, so check it before you book.

What is the minimum age to join a game?

The minimum age to play in a game on GoodRec is 18.
