1. Valley Soccer Center

Valley Soccer Center provides you the best turf soccer facility in the San Fernando Valley, using FIFA recommended turf in 3 fields.

You have the complete usage of the fields for rentals with your friends, pick up games (friendly matches) or leagues.

We also have a party area, bleachers, clean comfortable restrooms and customer service assistance.

What’s the Stance on Hosting Pickup Games (Adult or Youth)?  

Valley Soccer Center offers pickup games from 8pm to midnight every night during the week. It's not the biggest window, but it’s something!

What’s It Cost to Attend a Pickup Game? Where Can I Find Booking Information?

A crisp $10-$15 gets you in the door and on the field. The price is well with industry standards, so no surprises here.

Are the games 5×5 or 7×7, or both? 

Pickup games are 5×5.

Are Pickup Games Regularly Scheduled? What times and dates?

Like we mentioned above, Valley Soccer Center offers adult pickup games every nights during the week from 8:00 pm to midnight.

Does this facility run its own club or casual league? How does it work?

Unfortunately, there’s no in-house club or casual league. The rest of the facility’s time is aimed at providing field rentals, training camps, and soccer training classes.

2. Northridge Futsal

A shiny cerulean floor and an eye-popping blue and orange color scheme makes Northridge Futsal stand out from the competition. No AstroTurf in sight — this is a facility made with futsal in mind. Friday and Saturday nights play host to indoor soccer pick-up games.

Northridge also hosts birthday parties for the kids.

Even better, the pick-up games are always staffed by a legitimate referee.

What’s the Stance on Hosting Pickup Games (Adult or Youth)?  

Northridge Futsal offers pickup games from 9pm to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. It’s not the biggest window, but it’s something!

What’s It Cost to Attend a Pickup Game? Where Can I Find Booking Information?

A crisp $10 gets you in the door and on the field. The price is well with industry standards, so no surprises here.

Are the games 5×5 or 7×7, or both? 

Pickup games are 5×5.

Are the Games Social or Competitive?

Northridge Futsal errs on the side of more social games — there isn’t a huge amount of time dedicated towards pickup games, after all. The coaches are all serious, which adds a twist of competitiveness to the games. Nothing is worse than a referee who is clearly unqualified to be there — Northridge Futsal doesn’t have that problem!

Are Pickup Games Regularly Scheduled? What times and dates?

Like we mentioned above, Northridge Futsal offers adult pickup games every Friday and Saturday night from 9:00 pm to midnight. It’s only $10 to join.

There’s also a co-ed youth pickup game scheduled every Sunday from 8:30 am to 10:30 am. At only $7 a session, it’s a steal.

Does this facility run its own club or casual league? How does it work?

Unfortunately, there’s no in-house club or casual league. The rest of the facility’s time is aimed at providing field rentals, training camps, and soccer training classes.

3. Chatsworth Soccer Arena (CASL)

This outdoor turf field everything you need: league play, party hosting packages, a locker room, and even a sound system to add some tunes to your game. The prices are very agreeable as well!

On top of that, Chatsworth Arena Soccer League offers early morning games (outdoor flood lights work great!) starting at 5:30. There’s a place to shower as well.

It’s not the most glamorous place, but it’s got everything you need for a game of pick-up soccer.

What’s the Stance on Hosting Pickup Games (Adult or Youth)?  

Loads of pick-up games, so don’t worry. Chatsworth offers both youth and adult games (technically, they just have “Open” games). Once you reserve a spot in a match, you’re on the team.

What’s It Cost to Attend a Pickup Game? Where Can I Find Booking Information?

Cheap is the name of the game. At only $8 per player, Chatsworth Arena Soccer offers solid value for the money. Booking information can be found online at their website here, but it’s far easier to go straight to their MeetUp page and reserve your spot there.

Are the games 5×5 or 7×7, or both?

Neither! One of the few facilities on our list that offers mostly 7×7, Chatsworth Arena Soccer clearly has a preference for bigger teams. There’s always plenty of players that reserve spots, so if you’re expecting a smaller game — don’t. In fact, reserve your spot as soon as the registration becomes available or you’ll be in trouble when it comes to game-time!

Check out the reservation page for more information, but the facility is known to offer 6×6 youth games at times.

Are the Games Social or Competitive?

Surprisingly competitive! The pickup games always have a full roster, so there’s no shortage of players. The attitude on the field is friendly, but it’s clear that it’s a facility for soccer lovers. Passionate fans of the game will find themselves right at home at Chatsworth Arena, trust us.

What Else (if anything) is Unique about these Pickup Games?

No cleats! Turf shoes or tennis shoes are preferred. Cleats are sure to tear up the turf in all the wrong ways, so don’t be that guy and follow the rules.

The games are also unique in that they focus mostly on 7×7. Each session features 3 teams, so one team will always be in the rest position while the game is on. The facility offers two-hour sessions — that’s a lot of game time.

Are Pickup Games Regularly Scheduled? What times and dates?

You’ll find regular pickup games scheduled Saturday and Sunday mornings, starting at 5:30 am. Games run off and on until 11:00 am, so there’s plenty of chances to get a match in. There are also weekday games — Tuesday night at 6:30 pm is a popular one. Check with the reservation page before making any big plans, though.

Does this facility run its own club or casual league? How does it work?

Chatsworth runs several leagues for men:

• Men’s A
• Men’s B
• Men’s C
• Men’s B 40+
• Men’s Premier 30+

And more!

Each team must register in advance of the start of the league. Fees run $855 per team per season (includes referee fees) and each team must have matching jerseys. It’s not the cheapest option around, but the money is well-spent.

4. Juke Indoor Soccer

The big selling point of the Juke Indoor Soccer Training Facility is the coach. Coach Tony is passionate about teaching, great with children, and loves soccer to a scary level. The facility boasts quality AstroTurf, plenty of lighting, and the usual necessary amenities.

Weekly pick-up games and a range of classes for players of all skill levels make Juke Indoor Soccer Training Facility a treat to visit. They also host birthday parties and soccer camps!

What’s the Stance on Hosting Pickup Games (Adult or Youth)?  

Yes to both! Juke Indoor Soccer Training Facility offers weekly pickup games. All players are welcome, regardless of age or skill level.

What’s It Cost to Attend a Pickup Game? Where Can I Find Booking Information?

The Friday night pickup games at Juke cost a flat fee of $9. Could be worse, could be better, but it’s not going to break the bank. And Coach Tony is worth it!

Check out the reservation and booking information here.

Are the games 5×5 or 7×7, or both?

Juke Indoor Soccer Training Facility has a mid-sized 5v5 field with artificial turf. The pickup games are always 5v5, but Coach Tony is flexible enough to accommodate larger groups if the need arises.

Are the Games Social or Competitive?

Healthily competitive is probably the best way to put it. Juke Indoor Soccer Training Facility isn’t the biggest facility around and values simplicity above all else. Teams are organized by a mix of skill and age in order to create the most balanced experience possible.

The competition is good, but the atmosphere is still very social. There’s a wide range of skill levels present in every pickup game, so just relax and enjoy!

There’s plenty of competition if you bring a team of five, however. There’s a king of the hill format that encourages a strong sense of competition (just make sure your team doesn’t get broken up!).

What Else (if anything) is Unique about these Pickup Games?

The most unique thing about this form of pickup soccer is that the teams are completely open, co-ed, and organized by skill and age. The goal here is to create balanced teams with an equal sense of competition, whereas a lot of other pickup facilities don’t take an active approach to balance the teams.

Are Pickup Games Regularly Scheduled? What times and dates?

Major pickup games are offered once a week on Friday nights. The games begin at 8:00 pm sharp! Don’t be late.

There are also Adult Co-Ed games on Monday from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm, Women’s Only games Saturday from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and a special 35-and-over section on Sundays from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. These games can’t be booked online, so make sure to give the facility a call to see if there’s any space for drop-in players.

Youth pickup games are also offered from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm — check with the facility for exact dates.

Does this facility run its own club or casual league? How does it work?

At the moment, no. The facility focuses most of its floorspace on a variety of field rentals, pickup games, and special soccer training classes and camps. Coach Tony has plans to implement an in-house club league, but that’s a big project and the man is busy.

The wide range of classes and programs offered by Juke is nothing short of impressive, and we’re sure the passion there will translate into leagues in the future!

5. Gol Soccer Complex San Fernando Valley

Adult League, weekly pick-up games, and a range of classes for players of all skill levels make Gol Soccer Complex a treat to visit. They also host youth academies and leagues.

• Soccer 7v7
• Soccer 5v5
• Gol Soccer Youth Soccer Academy
• Gol Soccer League Youth and Adult

Are the Games Social or Competitive?

Healthily competitive is probably the best way to put it. Gol Soccer Complex is probably the biggest private soccer field in San Fernando Valley. Teams are organized by a mix of skill and age in order to create the most balanced experience possible.

The atmosphere is still very social, but the competition is good. There’s a wide range of skill levels present in every pickup game, so relax and enjoy!

There’s plenty of competition if you bring a team of five, however. There’s a king of the hill format that encourages a strong sense of competition (make sure your team doesn’t get broken up!).
