Play Vancouver Sports

Play Vancouver organizes drop-in games for adults in most major team sports: soccer, ultimate, touch rugby, flag football, beach volleyball, ball hockey, and lacrosse.

We also organize bar-game nights and lawn-game afternoons -- e.g., darts, shuffleboard, bocce, petanque, and many more.

You can expect a well-organized and welcoming session because our organizers have shed-loads of experience in, and a deep-seated passion for, the sports they're managing. For example, we have in our arena of organizers a former Canadian national rugby player and former Canadian national swimmer (yes, we hope to offer water-polo soon), and even a current world top-10 Crokinole player.

Join in the fun and fitness. Meet new friends. Bring old friends along.

A note or two on costs:

We have permits for many of our sessions, and so we must charge a nominal fee to cover permit and insurance costs. Some parks, for the events we're running, don't require permits. But for these events, we do encourage donations, which go to The Soccer Project Foundation, our non-profit arm which helps under-served youth participate in organized sports and to receive crucial tutorial services to help them complete high school.

AND... if you'd like to play in one of our rec. sports leagues, which help to generate the brunt of our funding for youth sports and education -- please check out our website: PlayVancouver.Org

Hope to see you on a field or court, or at a bar-game night, soon!
