Casual/social soccer play for women and men (age range 23-28). Could potentially play a game or just kick about, learn tricks, do some fun drills. It is more laid back and what we decide to do can depend on the numbers, interests of the attendees, experience level etc. The host is by no means a professional and just wants to play for fun and enjoy the social aspect. Would play at the Marriott waters fields/courts in Lyndhurst but open to playing at other nearby courts/fields

Hanging out, being active, making new friends and building a tighter knit community. With the designed death of culture and a growing divide between us all slowly breaking us down. It is important we take back togetherness in community, put down the propaganda boxes and spend time in the fresh air with each other. Limiting the group to any particular activities seems counterproductive as togetherness in the community is the goal.
