Go to the Queens Park Savannah, on afternoons they does sweat there. Most of us here are based in the USA. Maybe some local poster will help further.

Maracus Beach we play football there too...

dloro, welcome to the forum.

I hope you have a great time on your vacation to Trinidad (and hopefully Tobago as well is on your agenda).

During the week, there are various pickup games in the Queens Park Savannah where you can pretty much go and get a game. You should get there for about 5pm and I'm sure for the most part everyone there will be accomodating when they hear your American accent. If you can come with a friend better yet so as not to throw off the numbers in the teams.  The savannah is very big, but I would suggest you start your search from the area opposite the top of Marli Street, or opposite TGI Fridays.

Also you can find some games in King George V park which is opposite the Queens Park Oval.

If you are in the eastern part of the island, you can also find some good game at UWI grounds, or Eddie Hart Savannah and the same goes for the weekends. Eddie Hart has lights, so the games start there and go on late into the night as well.

PM me your details letting me know where you will be based, and I can try to link you with a couple people who play beforehand so that you don't have to go in blind.

ps: In trinidad, as is the case everywhere else in the real world outside of America, we call it Football not Soccer..  ;D

Dloro/Davide

Welcome to the forum.

The link below by west coast as well as the post by Omarlidinho should answer most of your questions.

PLease follow the rules of "sweat etiquette" in order to make your game an enjoyable one and to ensure future participation.

Your best bet is King George the VI park in ST. CLair or the Queens Park Savannah. Go there at 4:30-4:45 on most days except Friday. That is a drinking day in Trinidad.

Most pickup games are small goal in nature. A goal measuring anywhere from 1-3 feet in size. Very rarely would you find a pickup game utilizing a full field and regulation size goalposts. These games are usually organized in nature and are club affiliated.

Additionally all of the fields in TT are in poor condition. We are in the dry season so a cleat is not necessary. A turf shoe or sneaker would be your footwear of choice. Walk with a white and coloured jersey and have fun.



A for apple, B for Bat, C for yuhself!
