Welcome to Charleston’s oldest daily pickup group, one which began in the early 2000s. Our group is a no goalie / small pop up goal competitive group for adults, not intended for beginners. This app is a 2018 addition which allows our admins to post event details daily.

Join CHARLESTON SOCIAL FOOTBALL CLUB to be notified of our daily pickup game, located at different fields in and around Charleston, as well as organized social gatherings for post pickup beers/trivia and group meet ups to watch live matches!

See you on the pitch, or at the bar!

COMPETITIVE GROUP | NOT INTENDED for CHILDREN or BEGINNERS. 18 and up only please!

*PLEASE CHECK-IN TO GAMES TO SEE LAST MINUTE FIELD CHANGES OR TIMING ADJUSTMENTS

Group Admins: Andrew Mille, John White and Patrick Lopez

• Please remember that ADMINS aren’t paid to supply goals, balls, post events each day, and are the reason this group exists. Following our rules, instead of acting unilaterally on the field = showing respect for their contributions.

– Admins are responsible for game flow, field decisions, timing, and may make on field announcements, stop play, or split pickup into smaller games.

– Players are welcome to direct suggested pickup changes to either of our three Admins.

Our Group Rules:

1. No Goalie Positioning. We play with very small pop up goals. These goals are small, and a person positioned directly in front to block shots without running or making tackles, eliminates most medium to long range shots, and kills the game for the attacking side. For everyone’s enjoyment NO ONE should assume a shot blocking position in front of goal.
2. OUTS. A ball clearly passing behind the goal line goes to the defending side, but defenders should make every effort to keep the ball in play. Outs on the sides do not exist. For the sake of fluidity, whoever gets the ball will continue play (aka - the hustle rule). ***A player purposely playing the ball out to regain control will result in a ‘Count of 3,’ whereby the third infraction results in the ball being returned to the attacking team.
3. PLEASE BRING A WHITE AND DARK SHIRT OPTION, avoiding very light in between colors please! White shirts are typically paired up with shirtless players (aka skins). Dark shirts are typically all on one side.

SHOULDN’T NEED MENTIONING:

If you want to have a conversation with another player during our games, please step off. Some of us show up to play. The social bit happens before and after.

No one wants a show boat on their team. If you’re too good to consistently make the obvious pass, please contact your agent. ;)

Lose the ball, try to win it back. Miss your shot, chase it.
