As your own full team, with friends or by yourself!

Full teams join all the time, plus we create free agent teams in each coed league for those looking to be placed with others. These teams aren't made until all spots are filled, so sign up and request to play with friends while there's space and you're guaranteed to play together. Or join solo to meet new people! All skill levels are welcome! We pride ourselves in running the most organized, unique and FUN leagues in Chicago. And we're the ONLY leagues where ALL teams head to the same nearby bar for post-game hang outs and mingling amongst teams! So what are you waiting for!? JOIN A LEAGUE to experience for yourself what makes S3 "More than just a league" (our slogan).

Every League Crazy Fun, Every Time.

Be active and get social!

Countless new friendships, relationships, champions & great memories made --- plus tons of S3 weddings and babies!

We are welcoming & unique.

We only offer a handful of leagues every session to ensure that each is run with the care and attention you deserve. You'll have a one-of-a-kind league experience where meeting new people and being social are part of the fun. Getting together with the same group of teams every week at games and our sponsor bar creates an environment where relationships easily form!

We level the playing field.

In any league, some teams are better than others. So for playoffs in S3, teams are placed into multiple divisions based on regular season records for final day tournaments. This creates a more fair and balanced playoffs where similarly skilled teams compete to be league champs. And the winner of EACH division gets a team party at your sponsor bar to celebrate the season!

We have the lowest fees.

We are an independent, local league organization located only in the city of Chicago. We're proud to offer the lowest team and player fees while making it our mission to provide the best league experience in town! We're truly grateful to all the great teams and players that have chosen to join us over the years to help make this Simply Social Sports experiment a lasting success.

  • Out of all of the rec sports leagues in the city, S3 has some of the lowest league fees, yet somehow they're some of the best organized leagues. I've done at least one S3 league every year I've lived in Chicago. It's an amazing way to meet people and make friends.

  • If you want to have a fun active summer, join the S3 volleyball league. I've been playing in this league for over 3 years and have met some of my now best friends because of it. Great way to get active and socialize after at a local bar that sponsors the league.
