Sports & Hobbies groups near Orland Park, IL

I am intentional about the new friendships I make. I created this group with the goal to make new friends that share the same values as me. My top values in a friendship is quality time, vulnerability and having fun. I enjoy going to museums, attending social events and reading. I hope to develop long lasting relationships with people who share the same values and hobbies as I do.

Our Discord! [https://discord.com/invite/6EW8CGx5ZH](https://discord.com/invite/6EW8CGx5ZH) Let's connect for social hangouts and fun activities - with events based on recommendations from our members. \ The events on this group would go from sports to board games to neighborhood exploration to drinking( duh! ) to volunteering to planning trips. This is a group of the people, for the people and by the people! We believe 20s and 30s are the best years of one's lives - and we want nothing but the best for this group - hence it is age restricted! While random events such as an alien attack are common and unavoidable, we'd appreciate if you could update your RSVP, should you decide not to partake.

Hello, and welcome to the Airtoboal Launch League Chicagoland! 👋🏻😊 Come join the first ever league for the sport of Airtoboal in all world history! 🥇 That is because Airtoboal is a brand new team sport that I have invented that in short involves getting a ball that must mainly be kept in the air into the opponent's goal which is a literal bowl that must be kept on the ground and can only be moved with the feet and legs. Both the ball and both team's bowls can be moved all over the football/soccer sized field at any time during game play.  It involves the necessary skills of speed, stamina, style, quickness, and creativity among others. If you enjoy or are good at any major sport like football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, track and field and others you should love and be good at this sport because of the similarities in skills needed. Here is how I would describe it as in comparison to some other major sports: ⚽️ soccer with a bowl, 🏀 basketball a little lower, 🏒 hockey on grass, 🏐 volleyball on a full field, 🏃🏽‍♂️ track with a ball, 🥍 lacrosse without sticks and more pace, 🥣 tag with props, 🏉 rugby with more variety 🏈 football except more action and less danger, ♟️chess, checkers, monopoly, and risk board game in sport form. The goal is to jump start the sport this summer here in the Chicagoland area and then hopefully see it grow and spread across the country and become a big time competitive and spectator sport. I'm hoping to be able to have a game scheduled almost every Saturday soon. So come join the group and be one of the first ever athletes to be a part of this new, exciting, and unique sport that hopefully has huge potential! 🎊

Wikipedia defines Social Clubs as: **Social activities clubs** are a modern combination of several types of clubs and reflect today's more eclectic and varied society. These clubs are centered around the activities available to the club members in the city or area in which the club is located. Some have a traditional clubhouse, bar, or restaurant where members gather; others do not. Events can include a broad range of activities from sporting events and social parties to [ballet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballet), arts or [book clubs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_discussion_club). Unlike traditional clubs they are not limited to one kind of event or special interest but include a broad range of events in their monthly calendars. The members choose the events in which the club is going to take part, based upon the changing interests of the members. The members themselves determine the events they will attend of those offered. And so it is.....We are a Social Activities Club......In the truest sense and form. With being a Social Activities Club comes Rules. Mission Statement: To continue to be as engaged and relevant in this stage of our lives as we were leading up to it. By doing so we can continue to learn, to grow, to embrace life in ways that enrich our own and all of those we meet along the way. Vision Statement: To make new friends, share old and new interests and live a life full of activities that are diverse, interesting and fulfilling.

Come join us for a fun night of gaming! Whether you are a veteran gamer or new to the hobby you are always welcome. If you have no games to contribute for playing that's OK, several of us bring games ranging from the quick and silly like Flux and Poo, to the more popular Carcassonne and Settlers of Catan, and to the more complex economy games like Power Grid and Puerto Rico.

Never heard of the games just mentioned, that's OK, too.  Sometimes we play main-stream games from Chess to Poker. However, we are passionate about our hobby and love to teach new games.  If you will allow us, we would love to introduce you to a whole world of games that are fun, challenging and rewarding.  We have a fairly large library and although we may have our favorites, we are always willing to try something new.  If you own games you would like to play, bring them along.

Our game space may seem a bit unconventional but we have found none better. It is well lit, semi-private and quiet. The tables are adequate for board gaming. The store is open 24 hours so if your up for it, you can game as late as you would like (Some of us are night owls.) You are under no obligation to buy anything, although bottomless fountain drinks are only a dollar with some pennies and you have more reasonably priced food choices then you can shake a stick at wisely. If you are looking for restaurant fare many members go out together after gaming for a late night snack - you, of course, are always welcome.

So come and relax, put the day's worries behind you and lose yourself in a challenging and fun evening with friends around a board gaming table.  We laugh often and are only grumpy occasionally :)
