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 of adults, not intended for beginners. This app is a relatively new 2018 addition and 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 below as well as their direction on the field is how to respect their contributions.

– Admins are responsible for game flow, field decisions, timing, and organization.

– Admins may make announcements, stop play, or redirect games

– Players are welcome to direct suggested changes to one of our three Admins

3 Main Play Rules:

1. No Goalie Positioning. We play with very small pop up goals. These goals are so very small, therefore a person positioned intentionally and directly in front of these goals during our games only eliminates most medium to long range shots. No one should be positioned in front of the goal for the entirety or even part of the match.
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). ***Abuse of the back line rule (a player purposely playing the ball out to regain control) will result in a ‘Count of 3’ being implemented by an admin, 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:

Please don’t have conversations on the field. If you want to talk, 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.
