Our Story
GoodRec started with a simple problem: finding a great pickup game was often harder than actually playing. Schedules were unclear, group chats were messy, and joining a new community felt intimidating.
We wanted to create a better way. A place where players can discover games, trust the experience, and keep coming back because the quality, organization, and people make it worth it.
Today, GoodRec helps athletes reconnect with sports, meet new teammates, and enjoy organized pickup games without long-term commitments or unnecessary friction.
Every feature, every game format, and every improvement is designed to make joining and playing feel easier.
You should be able to play the soccer, basketball or volleyball when and where you want to. With GoodRec, you can. No hassle. No commitment.

Everything you need to know to join a game
Check each in-app game description for the specifics. No metal studs are allowed, and indoor turf shoes are recommended for indoor fields.
Pickup matches come in various formats, from small-sided 5 v 5 games to full-sized 11 v 11 matches.
As long as the facility allows spectators, absolutely! But only people who have paid and are listed on the game list are allowed to play, so encourage them to sign up.
Yes! We do this for a few reasons, but a major one is to ensure game quality. Nothing is worse than last-minute dropouts or no-shows. If everyone has a little skin in the game, then we limit both and can just enjoy the game!
You must be 18 years or older to join any GoodRec game.
Not at all! We provide the balls and most of our games have pinnies. Just keep an eye on the games chat and description in case that specific facility has requirements (i.e. no cleats).
Unless clearly stated in the game title and description, our games are open to all levels!
Our hope is that GoodRec brings people together. We love hearing that best friends have met, relationships have started, and group chats have been born through these games. We’re excited to have you join us.
