PUG Sports Zone
Thanks for stopping by and checking out PUG (Pick Up Games) Sports Zone. While we play various sports, there is one common theme in every game we host; there are no set teams from week to week so a member who you were playing against one week could be your teammate the next. This helps foster an environment where we welcome anyone 18 or older who wants to play, whether experienced or just starting out, an environment where effort is valued over talent; all that we ask is that you give 100%. We're looking for people who like to compete but do not go overboard about it. Anyone who harps on other players inadequacies or has a negative attitude if the game doesn't go their way or is just a big jerk should pass us by because we will ask them to leave. Due to the cost of renting facilities and buying, maintaining equipment and insurance, we do charge for the events we post; $12.50 for Outdoor Soccer, and $10.50 for Volleyball. The schools we play at do not allow cash to exchange hands at the gyms or fields we rent so we have a online payment policy through Venmo. If you're interested in joining our group, please click the link below and review our message board which explains exactly how our group works (Payment Policy, Waitlist Policy, RSVP Policy, etc.): [https://www.meetup.com/PUGSports/messages/b...](https://www.meetup.com/PUGSports/messages/boards/) Failure to adhere to our policies could lead to your removal from an event (especially the Payment Policy) so it is your responsibility to review our message board. Email communication is very important in our group, therefore, please turn email notification ON. We hope to see you out on the court or pitch with us soon and please don’t be hesitant to contact Richard or Scott with any questions you may have.
