United Social Sports Expands into Arlington

This list of adult social sports leagues in Arlington is growing.

United Social Sports, which hosts most of its competitions in the District, is expanding in Arlington this summer. USS will offer a number of options for recreational competitors, including:

  • Soccer (Long Bridge Park, Crystal City)
  • Grass Volleyball (Gateway Park, Rosslyn)
  • Bocce (Gateway Park, Rosslyn)
  • Outdoor Dodgeball (Arlington YMCA, Virginia Square)
  • Cornhole (Gateway Park, Arlington)
  • Kickball (Long Bridge Park, Crystal City)
  • Skeeball (Continental Lounge, Rosslyn)

Sand volleyball and softball are also expected to be offered, though the location of each is listed as To Be Determined.

USS joins several organizations that already host recreational and social sport leagues in Arlington, including NAKID Social Sports, the World Adult Kickball Association (WAKA), DC Bocce League and the Arlington Athletic and Social League (AASL).

USS founder Robert Albrecht says the league is all about having fun and making friends. Details like team uniforms, game scheduling and drink specials after the games are taken care of by USS.

“You just show up, play, and meet new people,” he said.
