Where to Look for Spring Sports Leagues in Philadelphia

When it comes to spring sports in the greater Philadelphia area, there’s no shortage of great options. From traditional sports like baseball and soccer to popular emerging sports like adult kickball, spring is an awesome time to enjoy fitness, fun, and the company of others. If you’re searching for a spring sports league, make sure to check out a few of these options throughout the city.

Kickball

For athletes who love to relive a bit of their youth, there’s no better choice this spring than kickball. Brought to you by Philly Sports Leagues, this adult kickball league has divisions on each day of the week starting in March. Games take place at parks and playgrounds throughout the Philly area including Brewerytown, Fishtown, and Columbus Square. If you get a full team together, costs are $40 a person. You can also sign up as a free agent if you’re by yourself for only $45.

Floor Hockey

If you love the greatest game on ice, yet don’t have the skating skills to bring your love of the game to fruition, floor hockey is the game for you. Also put on by Philly Sports Leagues, floor hockey pits two five-man teams against each other in a battle for hockey supremacy. Played exactly like ice hockey but on a floor, this sport requires fitness, form, and a stellar wrist shot. Indoor floor hockey leagues start in March on Sundays and Tuesdays, while a 6 v. 6 outdoor league takes place on Mondays and Thursdays. If you can’t get enough of the action and you have a great team, don’t miss out on the SeaGoal Cup, which pits the best teams in the area against each other in a winner-take-all tournament.

Disc Golf

For people who love hitting the links, but can’t hit a golf ball to save their lives, disc golf is a great alternative. Throughout the year, including the spring, the city of Philadelphia organizes disc golf leagues at the Sedgely Woods Disc Golf Course. Built in 1977, this 27-hole course in East Fairmount Park is both scenic and challenging, and is the second oldest disc golf course in the country. You can play at your leisure or join a doubles league that holds matches every Thursday throughout the year.

Casa Soccer League

Known as the league that’s run for players by players, the Casa Soccer League runs indoor and outdoor soccer leagues throughout the year, but the spring season is the first chance you’ll get to go outside after the long winter. The magical thing about this soccer league is that it’s run entirely on volunteer work, which allows the league to keep costs down. With over 5,000 members, there’s a skill level and age group that’s sure to fit you. If you have what it takes, you can also enter the Kelly Cup City Championship that proves your team is the best around the area.

With so many great sports leagues in Philadelphia, you’re sure to find a sport that combines your love of the game with a chance for a fun social experience. Make sure to sign up today.
