Sports & Hobbies groups near Los Angeles, CA

This is a group for anyone interested in indoor soccer. All skills levels are welcome. This group is an off-shoot of Pug Sports Zone and was started because we have a handful of great players in the Culver City/Santa Monica area and we're looking for more great people.

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 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 they won’t last long here.

If you have any questions, please e-mail Co-Organizers Richard or Scott.
