pickup soccer

Casual park game

Pickup soccer is an informal game organized spontaneously or casually, without set teams, leagues, or referees.

Players simply show up at a park or field and divide into sides.

The term follows the pattern of pickup basketball and pickup games generally—emphasizing accessibility over structure: There's pickup soccer in the park every Sunday morning.
