Who is this collective for?
We're soccer/football/futbol fans seeking a more relaxed way to play, focusing on the social, fitness, and team aspects rather than competitive intensity or mastery. The recommended games align with this casual ethos, offering varied paces to suit different skill levels. This provides women with a mirroring, less intense playing experience often found in men's casual 5/7-a-side evening or weekend soccer games.
The group comprises all ages (really all, everyone is welcome!), women, trans, NB, and has varying fitness levels and skills, but we come together to create balanced teams.
Why create it?
Finding women's soccer communities in NYC can be difficult for newcomers and even long-term residents. Having spent a year navigating this, the goal is to quickly connect others with existing, welcoming groups.
Why are these groups listed and not others?
The groups listed are those that members of this collective are part of and can attest to the ethos. Leagues that are more professional or competitive in nature, catering to more advanced players, likely won't appear here.
If you think we have missed something. Let us know.
