Moving? Pick-Up Games at the Park: Your Best Social Tool

Alejo Tenutta, blog.movingcost.com

Unfortunately, moving to a new town often means losing contact with friends and family. This means having to build new friendships, but in order to do so, you have to find the right social mediums. One of your best options is to join pick-up games at the local park and there are various reasons why. Now, before you simply jump into the game, there is some etiquette you should follow to ensure your success.

Start by finding local pick-up games at the nearest park, whether they're football, soccer, or even kickball. Don't jump in right away, but simply note the time and day. Go to the same spot around the same time and see if they're playing. If they are, walk over to them and ask if they need another player. If they say yes, join them.
