There's more to pick-up soccer than meets the eye. Even unstructured play requires organization.
Chicago Neighborhood (NBHD) Soccer is a homegrown, grassroots organization founded and driven by local pick-up soccer players. We celebrate Chicago's pick-up soccer players and give back to our local communities.
Our mission is to provide an accessible and inclusive community driven by a common love of the game. Together, we provide the best pick-up soccer in the neighborhood by organizing communities and uniting players from different walks of life.
