Soccer with the IC - Feb 2025

Description: Come play another pick-up soccer game with the IC! The game will be played indoors at the Sports Coliseum on a hard court* (much like futsal).

This will be a very casual game and is meant for meeting other international students and scholars. We recommend bringing athletic clothing, gym shoes, and a water bottle.

*This month, we were only able to reserve 1 court instead of our usual 2 courts, so we will only be able to play one game at a time.
