Pickup Games
Are you looking to play without the commitment of a league? Grab A Game organizes over 40 weekly pickup games in and around Chicago. If you travel for work, then this is a great way to stay active with your favorite sport. Participants love these one-hour to two-hour games because they can sign up by themselves or with friends. Pickup games and weekly tournaments run smoothly because a Grab A Game host is present at each event. Participants pay $10-$15 per game for Basketball, Soccer, Indoor Volleyball, Beach Volleyball, Floor Hockey and more.
Everyone in attendance is guaranteed plenty of playing time because space is limited for each game. It's easy to save your spot with the option to reschedule up to two hours before the start time using the registration system powered by MindBody. New players feel welcome and regulars return to their favorite games each week.

Pickleball
A Grab A Game host on site at each game ensures everything runs smoothly and players get the most out of their playing time. Each player can expect about an hour of actual playing time or more for Basketball, Soccer, and Floor Hockey Games. Volleyball is limited to six players per team and two teams per court so all players get to play the whole time.
Most of the time, all you need to bring is yourself. However, for certain sports such as Floor Hockey, players often bring their own stick and eyewear. We have extra floor hockey sticks and goalie gear for players to borrow.
We'll always provide the equipment, court/field set-up, and balls needed to play.
Soccer players are encouraged to bring shin guards, but they're not required.
Check the event description for suggestions on footwear - specifically for soccer events.
For games where teams need to be differentiated by jersey color, such as soccer, we will provide clean pinnies.
LEVELS
Our pickup games are open to all skill levels. Volleyball games have a specific skill level assigned to each event ranging from Recreational (C) to Competitive (A). For all of our other sports, we typically see intermediate level players, but recreational and competitive players feel welcome when they attend. Grab A Game hosts are experts at making balanced teams so the competition is well-matched. Click here to check out the skill level descriptions specific to volleyball.
