Profile
DYKE SOCCER
is a 3k+ strong community of amateur athletes that meet several times a week for free pickup soccer games in local gyms and parks in NY, LA, DC, and soon – ur own special lil thirsty town. With few dyke bars left in this godforsaken world, @dykesoccer divines pop-up pickups that encourage queer cruising, promote physical and mental health, and provide a network for queers to find each other.
Our central mission is to make health and wellness accessible for queer women, trans, gender non-conforming, and non binary people. Soccer is the medium. Safe physical fitness spaces are rare for queer folks and we advocate for inclusive culture wherever we play.
We aim to be MORE INCLUSIVE THAN COOL. We are built in response to a closed or homogenous culture that accompanies many teams. Dyke Soccer is a community built around cruising, connections, and sport free from focus on substance and profit. We’re a pop-up dyke bar in your local park: sub the booze for a soccer ball.
As we create space and resources for our community we recognize that we are situated within broader social contexts of inequality and injustice and we can share effort and resources toward counteracting these.
All skill levels and abilities are encouraged to join us.
