What to expect from pickup soccer
Questions people ask about pickup soccer in Des Moines
Where can I play pickup soccer in Des Moines?+
At the public parks and facilities listed on this page. The first host to post a game picks one, and the game then shows here with its address.
Do I need a team to play?+
No. You reserve one spot and the host puts the teams together at the field. Most players come alone.
What level are the games, and can beginners or players over 30 join?+
Mixed. These are adult pickup games and most welcome any level. When a host wants experienced players only, the game says so on its page.
How much does it cost, and are there free games?+
Every game shows its price on the card, and Free shows where the price would be. Paid games cover the field, and you pay when you reserve or at the field, depending on the host.
What days and times are the games, and is there anything tonight?+
Mostly evenings and weekends. Nobody has posted a game here yet; sign up above and you will hear the moment the first one is posted.
What if I can't make it, or the game is cancelled?+
Tap Cancel on the game page as early as you can. If you paid on JoGo.Team, by card or with your JoGo Wallet, the game's price is credited to your JoGo Wallet for your next game. Some paid games have a no-refund deadline, set by the host a few hours before kickoff, and the game page shows it before you pay. If you cancel after that deadline, your spot is freed but nothing is credited. If you paid the host directly, in cash or by transfer, that money is between you and the host. If the host removes you from the game, what you paid on JoGo.Team is credited to your JoGo Wallet, even after the deadline. If the host cancels the whole game, the host can credit what you paid on JoGo.Team to your JoGo Wallet; if you don't see it, ask the host. If the game is free, there is nothing to pay back.
What should I bring?+
Boots or turf shoes, water, and a light and a dark shirt so teams are easy to sort.
Is there a referee?+
No. It is pickup: the host runs the game and balances the teams, and players call their own fouls.
Is there an app?+
Yes. JoGo.Team is on the App Store and Google Play, and the website works the same on a phone. Same games, same reservation, plus a push alert when a spot opens.
Can I host my own game in Des Moines?+
Yes, and hosting is free. Pick a field, a day and a format, set the game free or paid, and JoGo.Team handles reservations, reminders and the roster.
