Zog Sports on Roosevelt Island


Have you ever wondered what was going on with the large groups of people walking around in their Zog T-shirts and softball gear? I received this email explaining:

ZogSports, the charity-focused, social, co-ed sports league for young professionals in their 20s and 30s, is gearing up to start its fall leagues in a few weeks and we’ll be back on Roosevelt Island for a few of our sports. I know a lot of residents on the Island have wondered who we are since on several weeknights and weekend afternoons our participants travel to the Island in large groups sporting brightly colored ZogSports t-shirts!
...ZogSports has spent the last four years helping young New Yorkers break the monotony of the typical day – work/gym/bar/home - by offering sports leagues, trips, social events, and volunteer opportunities for young professionals in their 20s and 30s. To date, they have brought together 33,000+ participants and given more than $290,000 to charity.
This fall, ZogSports will be playing a portion of its Outdoor Soccer, Touch Football, and Softball leagues on Roosevelt Island.
Participants can sign up as an entire team or as an individual/small group and we’ll place them on a team. Teammates get to know each other at the organized post-game happy hours at local bars.
As a philanthropy-focused organization, ZogSports donates a portion of all proceeds to charity, and helps all participants Play For Your Cause by making donations to winning teams’ charities of choice. Teams have the opportunity to win both on the field as well as off, with awards given for Best Team Name, Best Team Spirit, and Best Happy Hour Team. ZogSports also partners with local charitable organizations to promote/co-sponsor their events, and organizes charity events of its own.

It sounds like fun.

Not so fun when you want to play soccer and ZogSports takes up the entire field for the entire evening.

These zog dudes are really intense, and its great to have sports on RI, especially for a good cause. If you're not one of them though (and they are age limited), they do kind of hog the fields. Maybe they should be more inclusive.

If RIOC does astroturf the Octagon Soccer field as they hope to expect to see more off-island leagues reserving that field.

Hey there. ZogSports is actually very inclusive! Registration is open to ANYONE through www.zogsports.org.

At the moment, all of our leagues have sold out for the Fall season. But we encourage people to sign up for upcoming seasons when registration opens!

In fact, if you are near the field during a game, we encourage you to go talk to a referee or field manager to get more information about all the leagues.

As a charity-focused group, we want to give everyone and anyone the chance to play, and in fact, we have been reaching out to and working with RIOC to encourage more RI residents to play with us since the fields we use are right in your backyard!!!

Hope all Roosevelt Islander readers will join us soon!

yes, if by "intense" you mean rude. they take up the entire field so that people who actually live here can't use i.

find somewhere besides my "backyard" to play.

Unknown said...

RIOC should in NO WAY astroturf (FieldTurf) the Octagon Field. Granted it is helpful when a field gets intense use as it requires less maintenance. However it WILL account for an increase in injuries to players, especially those of the lower back, knees, ankles and feet. Trust me, I'm a doctor AND someone who suffered an ACL tear on Turf that would not have happened on grass. Find a way to better manage a grass field rather than lose another grass field in NYC!
