Your questions answered

What is pickup soccer?

A pickup soccer 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!

Where can I find pickup soccer in Chicago?

GoodRec runs pickup soccer across Chicago. Check the app to find different locations, times, days and how many spots are left. Pick the one that suits you and claim your spot.

Can I bring a friend with me?

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

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

We play just for fun and all skill levels are welcome! You'll get a good sweat in, without it being too competitive. If there is a game with a specific skill level, it will be clearly stated 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's how we know the game has enough players to run. Prices vary depending on factors such as venue, time etc.

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 years old.

Do you run other sports?

Yes — GoodRec runs pickup soccer, pickup basketball and open play volleyball. Which ones are available depends on the city; the app shows everything running near you.
