Pickup Soccer Games in New York City

As a person, who just moved to a new city. This app has helped me make new friends through our love of soccer. Definitely recommended for people of all skill levels looking to play pick up.

I use GoodRec for volleyball in NYC. There’s several sessions every night of the week at all skill levels. The quality control to respect each skill level is pretty good, as hosts can flag players who don’t quite fit the level for a given drop in. For example, I tried an advanced session when I wasn’t quite ready for it a year or two ago and the host flagged me. Then management reached out to me and offered a credit to check out a high intermediate session for free in a very encouraging and respectful way - suggesting that I gain confident on the court and strengthen basic skills. That being said, once I improved over a few months I was able to sign up for advanced sessions so it’s not like they blacklist you or anything. I haven’t attended any clinics yet but they’re always sold out and coached by a guy who played collegiate - I’ve had him as a coach at a different volleyball org and I know from that experience that his clinics are probably valuable. Finally, management is constantly reaching out promoting clinics and other volleyball opportunities, as well as reaching out for feedback which they seem to genuinely respond to and consider. Overall I think the format of the GoodRec drop ins is high quality (14 players and often some people don’t show so it’s easy to do 6s, whereas some other volleyball orgs have 24 people so you’re on for two and off for one throughout the session). Management is responsive and I’ve had positive experiences with all the hosts so far. Glad to have GoodRec in NYC!

Great app for rec sports and bringing a community together. The best app for rec soccer in calgary!

honestly i’m so happy i found this app i always struggled to make friends in order to play some soccer but i have met some amazing thank to this app not only that they also have games every single day which is amazing so thank you

What an awesome idea. So thankful to be able to enjoy my favorite sport (volleyball) when my schedule allows. Love it.

I recently moved to Orlando and through this app I made a lot of friends and I get to play with them soccer every week. This app brings people together. I really like this app.

It doesn't have to complex to be perfect. You pay for soccer games near where you are. No hiccups, no scamming, and also LOTS of availability in nyc.

Great app that allows for pickup soccer games. Plenty of fields and times to play. The app offers a variety of soccer matches that are both fun and competitive! Highly recommeded!

While I’m new to this app, I can say say it has helped me greatly to connect with new soccer players! The skyline pitch I usually play at was beautiful and I love that I’m able to continue play the game I love. The app itself is extremely easy to use, it connects you with your host and gives you all the necessary directions to the venue. All around a 10/10 experience. Every soccer player in Chicago should have it!

When I moved to NYC a decade ago I wanted to play but infrequent Meetup games made it difficult to get back into it after playing consistently when I was younger. I found GoodRec (formerly JustPlay) during the pandemic and not only did it get me back in, but now I play up to 3 times a week because there are so many great games around me. Highly recommend.

Went to my first basketball run and had a ball getting in shape no nonsense that you may encounter during any regular gym run.

I use this app when I want to go play soccer and it’s the best being able to just reserve a spot and play soccer any time of the day amazes me usually I would go to a local place where people play soccer in hopes people would be there and most of the time it’s empty with this app there’s guaranteed to be a match a day and at a affordable price it gets addicting as well i told my brother about the app and he’s been going 5 times a week to crossbar genuinely a good app bringing soccer players together and helping bring opportunities and build connections as well

I’ve had a really good experience with GoodRec since moving into NYC this past August. I have been able to meet so many new people which has truly helped me to assimilate into a new city with new surroundings. The community that exists within GoodRec is something that continues to draw me back into playing more. I am able to continue my love for sports postgrad, while meeting others with a shared passion and it’s great!

This is a great app that allows you to find pick up soccer games any day of the week, in any location. Payment is automatic and built into the app. Wish this was around when I was a kid.

Nice app, good soccer and friendly I come from Chile, and is my way to relax and meet some People

I really enjoy this app for soccer games in the Chicago area. A lot of old issues have been improved on (buggy interface, personal match dashboard, cancellation notifications, etc) and customer service is highly responsive. The playing level varies somewhat but is usually decent. Very excited to see more locations and games added in the future!
