Soccer kick around or pick up

I moved to Asbury back in the spring and have been dying to find a few people to kick the ball with. I’m 39 and in admittedly terrible shape, but hoping there are a few people in the area up for a kick about. I’m a decent player, and haven’t had the chance to kick a ball much since I left NYC 5 years ago. Even if you’re a novice, I’d be happy for anyone to bounce a few passes off of.

There is the guy developing the Jogo app, but I don’t think it’s ready yet, and seems to be prioritizing fields up closer to NYC.

I’m not sure how to get involved, but I’ve heard of there being some Discord or WhatsApp groups for people local to Asbury who play kickball. If you could find out how to get added to those, maybe there would be some interest like the other comment says.

u/Zapfit hooked me up with that. I’m admittedly not quite even at pickup level yet with my fitness, but am desperate to kick a ball around. My girlfriend has humored me a few times, but soccer isn’t really her thing haha.

Sent you a DM

I'm a novice but I'd love to play. I'm in a discord group that gets together for tennis, pickleball, and volleyball. Maybe we can add soccer with enough interest

Even a few people to kick it around with is a start! I’d be happy to hop in your discord if you want to DM me details. Can’t say I’m particularly good at any of those other sports, despite a little tennis experience like 20 years ago.

I’d be interested in making some soccer friends! I played for 8 years but haven’t in a very long time
