Playing Soccer On The Octagon Field at Night
Diego is a new resident of Roosevelt Island and is interested in playing Pick-Up Soccer games on Roosevelt Island. He comments in the What On Your Roosevelt Island Mind thread:
I am relatively new to the island and to NYC and am wondering if you have to pay for every activity under the sun! I find I get the most out of my workouts when I am concentrated on a sport of some sort rather than running. I’m originally from Connecticut where greenery is everywhere and hundreds of neglected and forgotten fields beg for people to use them. I understand in the city that space is precious and limited, but 15 guys and girls getting together several times a month to play soccer shouldn’t cost anything! Does anyone know if there are free pick up games on Firefighter Field at anytime of the day , 7 days a week? Same thing for tennis ?! please help 🙂 and feel free to join me in some competitive play!
Reported in October 2010 of attempts to organize Roosevelt Island Pick-Up Soccer games. Don’t know if it is still going on but click here for potential contacts.
So, is anybody interested in Pick-Up Roosevelt Island soccer games? Remember in the Spring of 2010 another new Roosevelt Island resident, Jason , formed a Pick-Up Saturday morning Roosevelt Island Softball game and it is still going strong.
No reason why Roosevelt Island Soccer players can’t do the same thing.
