Grab a Game - Chicago Broomball
Chicago, IL
Broomball is the extremely fun winter sport played on ice (in shoes, not skates) and resembles a game similar to floor hockey. For adult broomball players of all skill levels (even those who have never heard of broomball), our group offers weekly events including pickup games, clinics, and mini-tournaments. Want to play without committing to an entire season? Our group is perfect if you're new in town, just visiting, or have been here for years and want to add a game to your schedule. Grab a Game is also a great way to meet other players or join a team. You will play with friendly people just like you who want a good game while having some fun and improving their skills. We look forward to seeing you on the ice!
What can I expect with Grab a Game Broomball?
We welcome new players every week and we love our regulars! A paid host at each event guarantees everything is well-organized and you get the most out of your playing time.
Whether it’s an open gym, clinic, or tournament, please feel comfortable signing up by yourself or with a friend. We work hard to create an atmosphere where you can have fun playing with a bunch of strangers.
Most of our events are open to all skill levels (from beginner to competitive) and we do a great job of creating even teams so that you don’t have to worry about all the beginners on one team and all the pros on another. We often have multiple courts where we can match you up with other players at your level.

RnR Motorcycle Riders
Vernon Hills, IL
The focus of the group to ride with other motorcycle enthusiasts. Some of the rides will be highway based, while others may be long stretches of low traffic roads where we can take in the scenery and natural environment. Rides will be anywhere from 25 to 75 miles and some rides will extend a bit further. Riders of all types are welcome.
Bottom line is you must know how to safely operate a motorcycle. We ride with streetbikes, cruisers, dirt bikes and others.
Experienced Riders may push a little faster, but we will all encourage safe riding practice and skills. Members will be given as much notice as possible for rides. There will be some short notices due to our wonderful Midwest weather restrictions.
We also strongly encourage all RnR riders with sport bikes to also join our companion group RTRC at:
https://www.meetup.com/RTRChicago/
RTRC is a road and track group for sport bike enthusiasts, where you have an opportunity to really open it up on the track safely. RTRC rides with track groups STT and Motovid and you'll get the chance to not just watch some awesome motorcycle racing, but also participate in it! It's a great adrenaline rush and release!
Two groups means twice as many opportunities for fun rides! Our event organizers in both groups know our way around the tri-state area. See all that our states have to offer, and make lots of new friends in the process!
Welcome aboard, and ride safe always!
