Street Soccer in East Downtown (EaDo) Houston

This unofficial street soccer court was created as part of the Houston Town Futsal Ball-A-Block program. These weekend pickups at The Block are free to play, but donations are appreciated to help maintain the space. Ball-A-Block Program Ball-A-Block is our version of the Adopt-A-Block program, but in the process of picking up litter, we are also creating open spaces for public use where Houstonians can play street soccer. Essentially, this is our DIY approach to making use of dilapidated asphalt surfaces and/or concrete structures and flipping them into pop-up futsal courts for pubic use. Location The Block street soccer court is located in at EaDog Park (across the street from 8th Wonder Brewery) at 2218 Polk St. How We Play * King of the Court (winner stays) * Don't be a dick (don't be the one killing the vibe) * 5v5 (no goalies) * 1st team to two goals wins (5:00 minute games if no goal scored) * You shank, you shag (you kick the ball off the court then you get it) Post-Game / True Anomaly Brewing As our East Downtown pickup partner and helping us bring awareness to our Ball-A-Block program, we invite everyone to True Anomaly Brewing afterwards for discounted drinks and to talk the beautiful game. What to Bring * Flats (court surface is concrete) * Water Parking There is parking just in front of the court, but the lot has a lot of potholes so park at your own risk. Also, do not leave valuables visible in your car. Cost * $ Donation-based * 100% of donations go back to making improvements at The Block Street Soccer Court and raising awareness through marketing efforts Resources: See us in action on YouTube here
