Do you know of any soccer, basketball, kickball, etc. intramural leagues in our area. I know there are plenty of 'Chicago' leagues but it would be nice to be a part of something that incorporates our neighborhood and plays it games in our area. Just a thought...
Well there are a lot of sporting options in the South Loop. There are basketball courts and tennis courts scattered around the neighborhood (like the ones to the right in Dearborn Park I), that you can often find a pick-up game at. The southern end of Grant Park also seems to have frequent pickup soccer games during the weekend between the agora statues and "the guy on a horse" hill.Some of the gyms in the neighborhood like Xsport, LA Fitness and FFC have basketball courts, swimming, racquetball courts, yoga, rock climbing, yada yada yada...
If you're looking for something else a little more structured, we would suggest looking at Chicago Sport and Social or Player Sports Group (there are probably others as well). There are softball and soccer leagues that play in Grant Park that would be very convenient for people wishing to play in the Sloop and enjoy our magnificent skyline. Maybe some of you would be interested in forming a Sloopin team in one of these leagues???? If so speak up.
Are we forgetting anything?
When are the soccer games??? I'd love to know of any pick up soccer games in the SLoop
ReplyDeleteI definitely feel the same way. Would participate in pick-up soccer or basketball in SLoop if available. Would consider joining a intramural team as well...
ReplyDeleteInstead of pursing athletic teams you should join our running club! You won't be disappointed!

Monkey Bar Gym has a cool article in Muscle & Fitness Magazine. They also are offering 1 week free in March.
ReplyDeleteThere is a outdoor basketball court at the SE corner of State/18th St. However this is a true street ball court. It sits under the L and there are cracks on the ground. However both goals do have nets. There are a lot of local kids from the hood that play there. From time to time you can get a decent pick up game.
