About SOPFC Pickup Soccer

We are soccer enthusiasts who organize intown Atlanta pickup soccer games open to players of all skill levels!

We reserve turf fields specifically for pickup soccer, provide balls, goals, and clean pinnies to distinguish teams, and have organizers on hand to keep things fun and friendly for both competitive and novice players. All we ask from you is a positive attitude and a small fee per session to cover the costs of fields, lights, organizers, and laundry.

Our pickup soccer sessions typically involve simultaneous games up to 8v8, so it's important to join each event prior to coming out. All of our sessions are geared towards, and welcoming of, players of all skill levels, ages, and genders. Sometimes we host specific formats such as Over-30 pickup or Women/NB pickup - these are clearly labeled.

SOPFC Pickup Rules

Our pickup soccer games are a great way to get to know our club better. Whether you're a pro, or someone who hasn't touched the ball in decades, we welcome you to participate. The rules below are a way of ensuring our pickup games stay fun and friendly for everyone. All players must also agree to abide by our Player Code of Conduct - please give it a read and bring your best sportsmanship to the pitch.

1. The first rule of SOPFC is, you talk about SOPFC: Invite a friend to play.
2. Positive attitudes only.
3. No slide tackling.
4. No corner kicks.
5. Kick-in from the sides instead of throw-ins.
6. Call your own fouls, and no one else's.
7. If someone calls a foul, respect the call.
8. All goals must be scored inside the halfway line.
9. Last player back may use their hands in front of goal.
10. Games start by kicking the ball in the air and letting it bounce twice before being touched.

The Games

Pickup sessions usually consist of one pitch and three teams, with one team rotating off every 10 minutes.

Pickup sessions that rotate teams will only rotate up to three teams max per pitch. One team will rotate off every 10 minutes, so players will play 20 minutes at a time, then wait 10 minutes, etc.
