I am exploring whether there are people in the Warrenton, VA area that want to play casual pick-up soccer. If you are interested and are over 18yo, feel free to go-ahead and complete the steps below. (Note: if you are under 18yo, feel free to register, I will follow-up with forms for guardian consent to play)

Registration is free, it costs nothing to show that you are interested to play soccer... our goal is to get 50 people interested - let's hope we get there!

Once we have enough people, we will get the ball rolling to start a league. If you want more details, check out the FAQs and the Project Pickup plan that shows the timeline we are aiming to get 50 interested players — these details are listed further down this webpage.

I hope to meet you on the pitch soon!

God bless,

Dan

Once we have over 50 players registering interest to play pick-up, we will be looking at securing a location to play regular games.

We can expect that we will not travel further than 30mins from Warrenton… ideally, the pitch will have parking, and be relatively close to town.

Once we have 50 players registering interest to play pick-up, we will run a poll to learn what the best time is for us to play.

We can expect that it will be at a time outside of work hours, meaning before 8am and after 6pm. We can expect games to be scheduled rain or shine, with only storm warnings cancelling the games.

We can anticipate teams of 8 people on each team (7-a-side, with 1 rotating sub, and a rotating keeper). This means the cost will be divided between 16 people per game.

This format see us rotating every 5mins, with a stopwatch alerting us to rotate goalkeeper and sub. Ideally we would like 90min games, giving us all a lot of playing time.

Anybody over the age of 18 years old is welcome to register their interest to play.

This is a casual pick-up game among adults, with no referees or organized business running the league - it’s purely sports hobbie for us to play either before or after we start our work day.

This is a guess of under $15 per game.

Cost is yet to be confirmed and will depend on how much the venue will charge for renting the pitch.

If we get enough people to start the league, then this app will be used to manage it:

Once we get 50 people to register, a league will be started on this app and emails sent out to all registered players. This app will be used to collect payment and share line-ups for the day.
