ZogSports

I have been playing Zogsports for 7 years. I have played football, soccer, and kickball in NJ and New York City. I missed playing on a team since school and this allows me to do it. It is a casual environment and it is great way of getting in shape. Some of my closet friends I met through Zogsports. Zogsports does a great job of building community with the end of season parties and happy hours after the games. Part of the money that is paid to join the league goes to charity.

Been involved with Zog since I moved to Hoboken about a year ago. Started off doing cornhole and moved to Kickeball in the warmer months :) I really enjoy the leagues– It’s a great way to meet people and get involved, especially if you are new to the area. Everyone is friendly and the happy hours after are always a good time. sometimes too good!
Highly recommend getting involved. I didn’t know anyone when I first signed up and I felt welcome from the start. The staff is very easy to get a hold of and respond quickly to any questions you might have.

Zogsports is an excellent way to meet new people and have a fun time doing it. Whether it’s «on the field» or at the happy hour people are always super friendly and have a fun time with whatever is going on. I have played football and kickball and no matter the sport, it’s always a good time.
If you’re looking for a way to be competitive but have fun at the same time while making some new friends, then Zogsports should be for you.

This league doesn’t hold a candle to NYC Social.
NYC Social is fun and encourages collaboration amongst all of the teams. They have contests at the post-​game bar meet ups for things like the most team spirit and social media love where you can win credits for future games or more importantly, a bar tab. They update their rain hotline instead of making you come to the field, only to cancel the game. They have a professional photographer that comes to the game to take action shots. Their refs are actually friendly. They hold games at a reasonable hour and not 10:00 at night. They don’t allow bunting. Most importantly, their fields are not in the middle of crime ridden areas.
ZogSports was fun because I got to play kickball with some great friends, but they run a really poor organization. It’s a shame that this is one of the only adult sports leagues in Hoboken.

I’ve been doing zog for the last 5 years or so in Hoboken. I was brand new to the city when i started and now i feel like i know a ton of people with a very large part of that due to how easy it is to meet people through zog. Started off just playing kickball and dodgeball which generally are more fun than competitive and then started playing touch football which can be competitive or fun depending on the league level.
Whichever sport you play, the happy hours are fantastic! Would def recommend to everyone! Great way to be active and meet people!

Best league EVER! I’ve been playing on Zog for the last 7 years (usually up to 3 sports a season). Not only is it for a good cause, but it’s a great way to make friends and be active. Moving to a town knowing only 2 people, Zog has been a great way for me to make friends. I’d say at this point over 50% of my friends somehow stem from Zog. ZogSports also has sports for any level of player — and endless amounts of sports to choose from. If you’re looking for something fun to do then Zog is it — and if you don’t enjoy fun things you should look elsewhere. You can’t go wrong!

I have been doing ZogSports in both NY and NJ since 2005. Dodgeball, Kickball, Bowling, and Volleyball. I have made many friends and had a great time playing. I love it because it breaks up the week and forces me to go outside and hang with my friends and it doesn’t cost as much as a night out or a dinner out even. After parties are always a great time and very short walking distance in NJ. The teams mingle and don’t just hang out be themselves most of the time which makes it easier to meet more people. This is especially true with Kickball which is my favorite since I love being outdoors too. I highly suggest this for people who just moved to the area or who need to meet new people. You won’t regret it!

I have been involved with Zogsports for about 7 years now. I happened to stumble upon it when I saw a group of guys wearing the shirts. I asked them what the league was and how do I get involved. To make a long story short I ended up subbing for them 1 week and the rest is history. After that initial season of football I found myself playing season after season while tacking on other sports such as Softball, Kickball, Volleyball and Dodgeball. To this day I play on multiple teams each season as they are great with my schedule making sure to avoid conflicts if possible. The leagues are fun and to make things even better they give a portion of the league/​registration fees to a charity of your choice if you end up placing 1^st or 2^nd place in your division.
Zog is a great way to stay active, relive those glory days, meet new people or simply hang out with friends. It’s definitely worth giving it a shot and they have a plethora of sports that may interest you. I highly recommend it to anyone who may be looking for those opportunities. Oh and did I mention that there is a Happy Hour at a local bar before/​after your sport? Try it out for a season and see if its for you, you won’t regret it.

So you’ve just graduated college, your friends have dispersed to various parts of the country, and your job isn’t exactly a social hot spot. That’s pretty much what happened to me, and ZogSports was the perfect cure! I started out slow playing in just one league, Montclair volleyball, and it was such a great atmosphere that I can occasionally now be found playing in four leagues at the same time. I’ve made lifelong friends and it gives me something to look forward to after a long day of work! The staff is always ready to answer your questions and make sure that you’re having the best experience possible. You don’t need to be a star athlete to join, there are leagues for everyone. Do yourself a favor and sign up!

I have been involved with ZogSports since 2010. Got introduced to it by some friends who put together an indoor soccer team.
Zog is great about providing everything you need to have fun on and off the field/​court. I’ve played in leagues in Weehawken, Jersey City, and Palisades Park. Cool thing is that there is always a happy hour at a nearby bar/​restaurant so whether you are on a team with friends or people you just met, it is all good! Having said that, I have not only played on a team with friends but have been placed on teams with people I did not know which is cool. If you are new to an area that Zog is in and are looking to meet new people, what better than via some sports and a solid happy hour?
Beyond that, it doesn’t even matter if you have never played the sport you signed up for and there are so many to choose from! They even have a league dedicated to cornhole!
Give it a try! You have nothing to lose since the money you pay to play goes to charity!

I love zog sports! It’s a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people! The zog sports team in Hoboken are very organized and responsive when you have questions or concerns. Our volleyball team had one pair of zog sports sunglasses that we used as «MVP glasses» at the end of each game for fun — when I wrote to Chris and Matt about it, they sent a pair for everyone on the team — it was such a fun surprise! I would highly recommend zog sports!

Fun. Social.Active. How can you complain with any of that? Zogsports is a great, social organization that allows you to have fun, be social, and get some endorphins flowing simultaneously. Does it replace the gym? Probably not, unless you do one of the super-​competitive leagues. I did cornhole, so umm, yeah, I still needed to hit the gym afterwards haha. But I had a ton of fun, and I made some great friends that I still talk to outside of the games.
There are a variety of options. In the past, I’ve also done volleyball, but there’s kickball, soccer, dodgeball, softball, and more. You want to play it? They probably have it. You can also choose your competitive level, so whether you’re a top athlete, or have 0 hand-​eye coordination, there is a league for you.
There are leagues offered throughout the year, and you can choose based on days (ie: Sunday league, as opposed to a weekday league).
If your work schedule isn’t flexible, sometimes the times can conflict. It’s also a little expensive (BUT part of your contribution goes to donating to the winning team’s philanthropic organization). You also get discounted alcohol after the games.
Overall, if you have the time and you enjoy being social, do it. I suggest joining with at least one friend in the beginning so you feel at ease, but if you rather go at it solo, you’ll still have a blast!
