This group was started in the summer of 2009 by organizers who wanted to set up pickup softball games in the northwest suburbs in a variety of locations and formats. The group grew to over 200 people and weekly games were offered throughout the spring, summer, and fall. In the spring of 2013, they turned the reigns over to a local group who shares the same vision. Sports Monster has offered softball leagues and tournaments in Chicago for many years and runs the largest pickup soccer group in the …

With the desire to provide more unique, personal rec league experiences that focus on meeting new people as much as the sports themselves, S3 Leagues were first created in Summer '09 and have now seen thousands of players. While of course winning is always ohhh so sweet, we definitely have as much fun at our post-game bars as at the games themselves. We're more about simply having a good time than practicing to go pro.

I'm intend for this group to feel less formally organized by a leader/organizer. Remember when you were seven years old and you went down to the field on Saturday and people were just there and you had no difficulty finding someone to play catch with? Remember how therapeutic it felt? My sense is that there are quite a few people who like to throw a ball back and forth and, gee, wouldn't it be fun to know you can go somewhere during a particular timeframe and there'll be people who want to …

This is not an organized team just a way to get out and kick the ball around with other soccer minded people. This is for people who are interested in soccer Males and Females aged 15-50.

This group has merged with Gen X/Y Social between the cities - please join our group on that meetup site instead.  Thanks! I have found it difficult to meet young people in their 30s and 40s along the Illinois/Wisconsin border. It seems that most groups in this area are under 40 or over 50 and forgot about the awesome kids who grew up in the 80 and 90s listening to grunge and alternative. Whether single, divorced, newly separated, or in a relationship, we often don't have enough time to find pe …
