Where can I play pickup soccer in Philadelphia?+
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.

Boots or turf shoes, water, and a light and a dark shirt so teams are easy to sort.
