looking for pick up soccer

brumble · 07-31-2007, 04:54 PM

Anyone know of any pickup games in Burnaby/Vancouver where a mid 30's guy with little to no soccer skills could work on his skills, fitness and have some fun?

Hmmm, does 8-rinks have a drop-in league? Anyone know?

I'd suggest Douglas Park on Heather street between 20th and 22nd ave in Vancouver. There's usually about 20 people playing pick-up on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

..who have absolutely no skill.

I have the scars on my ankles to prove it, too.

PM colemanj about playing pickup ball in Burnaby on Saturdays.

We have had four people move out of town over the summer and are two aside short... the Saturday Soccer guys have asked for a recruitment drive, so here goes -- will the power of the internet fill the field? Come out and find out.

No age or skill requirements need to be met with this crowd, everyone is welcome! It is free, and it is on grass -- how can you beat that...

Kickoff at 1:15 PM; just west of Willingdon off Goard (across from BCIT just south of Canada Way, turn west at the flashing light) on the Willingdon detention-centre field. Always a good game -- beer, food, TTP and plinking follows until it gets too dark. Rain or shine, sleet or hail... it is always a good run.

Playing here qualifies you for Wednesday soccer at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex -- 5:30 PM drop in soccer. We have openings there too -- but there is a $5 fee for the turf field at 8 rinks.
