Building Community
As a result of being a casual pick-up soccer game, folks who play with us on a regular basis often become part of a little community and find new friends and acquaintances. It’s not something we envisioned when we started out -- we were striving to 1) provide a place to play for individuals not on a team for whatever reason and 2) to use funds brought in to donate to charities in our neighborhoods -- but it’s definitely manifested on its own due to our collective interest in the beautiful game. Long may that continue!
