If you're looking to manage a team, or have a group of friends seeking to join a great network of players and teams, email us to get started!
We are an adults only soccer club, and not a league provider, meaning we build teams at various levels, formats to play in various leagues. We accept player registrations on a rolling basis and consult with each player regarding team placement. We have greater than 50 teams across various levels, formats and leagues. Levels of play range from highly competitive to intermediate level. New league sessions begin every other month, with our peak season being the outdoor soccer months. Our club model is volunteer based, yet we are the largest (or among the largest) adults only soccer club in the country who provides all gender programming.
The MWSL and MPRB leagues offer a greater range of levels where we can place lower recreation level persons to whom may be rusty or newer to the game. Because there is limited space for lower level players, consider joining open soccer opportunities during the outdoor months and orgs like GoSoccer, GoodRec, Ninth Street Soccer or others.
All community soccer members are welcome in our Flock as long as they support one another unconditionally. You can join our main group here on Facebook.
Our club was founded by LGBTQ+ players and is open to ALL persons as merit level of play is how most teams are developed. LGBTQ+ players can learn more here.
For those not desiring to play with male identifying players, Women's soccer is where it's at. We have a group dedicated just to you.
As our playing pool is aging, we're adding in masters, legends and ancient ranger levels of play for those 35+. Learn more here.

Our standard league teams are home to two levels of players typically. We field coed, men's and women's teams at these levels:
Inter-A level players have played competitive travel soccer as a youth through teen years and have a great foundation of skill and knowledge. Many played college, college club, and/oror high school varsity.
Inter B level players have good skills and foundation of knowledge but may be rusty from time away, or only played soccer as a youth up through JV level. This level is still not a beginner level of soccer.
Rec is the lowest level of soccer competition that may exist. We welcome this level of player to our open soccer events though to grow skill there. Limited spots at this level exist as there are few leagues that have low level soccer.

League soccer is by nature a competitive and organized playing space, but within that competition range is recreational through competitive. If you are absolutely new to soccer or need to learn the basics then playing league soccer is not our recommendation.
We recommend starting with pickup soccer, which you can find often in your local community via online social postings. We host some pickup soccer within our club but typically only for women and our lgbtq audiences. Why do we not host it for straight cis-men? The simple response is because that is pretty much every other orgs focus, and we are seeking to fill a gap in the community and our limited resources focus on those in most need.
We also recommend these great organizations to get started in light and organized play: GoSoccer, GoodRec, Ninth Street Soccer or others.
