Hello, Women’s Wednesday!

First and foremost,

Thank you for coming out and kicking it with us. We are ecstatic about having you all join the Chicago Neighborhood Soccer community; this is for everyone! Everyone makes a difference, and the entire community is better for having you join it.

In these past 12 months, we have grown over 1,000 new members on meetup! Almost 20% of that has been women! Special shout out to Shelby Ponder and Nicole Hack for working with us to make this happen.

Second,

we plan on doing more for women’s pickup soccer! To do that, we need to start charging enough to cover basic facility fees. We were happy to put a couple grand of our own money, and take that risk, to subsidize an opportunity for women to come out and play pickup soccer for the first two months. Now that two months have passed, it’s clear that this Women’s Wednesday launch has been a great success!

We are excited to say Women’s Pick-up soccer is here to stay. To do that, all we need to do is modestly increase the price by only $3. With $3 and the continued generosity of our community through donations, we keep looking for ways to host women’s pickup. So, don’t forget to donate; it’s all coming back to you through more events.

Starting next week, February 15, 2023, it will be $8 to RSVP for Women’s Wednesday. To ensure we meet our goals, to successfully RSVP you’ll have to provide $8

Lastly

Our goal is to be community-driven. Checkout our Mission, Vision, and Values at the - Chicago Neighborhood Soccer Wiki This means we want to include you, support you, and collaborate with you more.
