Friday Night Friendlies is coach-run pickup soccer at Formula: a step up from free play, but a long way from a league. Our coaches build balanced teams every week and run short, fast-paced small-sided King of the Hill games. Kids show up, get matched up, and play the kind of soccer they actually want to play on a Friday night.
How a Friendlies night runs
5:30 PM
Arrive & match up
Players check in and warm up. Coaches form balanced teams based on who's there: no rosters, no pre-set sides. Every kid plays.
6:00 PM
Game on
Concurrent games on separate fields, split by age (younger / middle / older as registration allows). Short games, King of the Hill, coaches running the show.
7:30 PM
Crown the kings
"Kings of the Hill" honors for the top team on each field. Plus a Coach's Pick MVP per field for hustle, sportsmanship, or play of the night.
The format, quickly
- Coach-run pickup: short games, balanced teams
- Small-sided games: more touches, more action than full-field
- King of the Hill: most wins on the night = Kings of the Hill
- Age-split fields running concurrently: every kid plays kids their size
- Coach's Pick MVP recognized every week for hustle, sportsmanship, or play of the night
