Sinds de oprichting heeft PSN een sterke gemeenschap opgebouwd waarin sportliefhebbers samenkomen om te spelen, te socialiseren en nieuwe vrienden te maken.

TLDR - Good variety of sports, decent officials... but do it for the excuse to get out and have drinking friends! I've been in PSN leagues for about 3 years now. I've done Coed softball, dodgeball, and bowling leagues, all of which were a casual level of competitiveness. Great for New-to-Towners - When I first started, it was at a time when I'd moved to the city and knew few enough people, so I signed up as a free agent in dodgeball, which launched me into a decent set of Thursday night drinking friends; I continued to play with them for 2 more seasons. This was a fantastic sport, with decent and fair refs, and the 12th street gym staff was always super friendly to us. Also super conviniently located near Irish pub where we get PSN drink specials! Great for groups - My second year in town, I found out some work buddies had a softball team going, and so I joined up with them, and lo and behold, I now had Sunday afternoon drinking friends! I always got a crack out of our ump, who was admittedly only half-interested in regulating our games, but he was a good sport (he played catcher for us in some low-attendance situations) and had enough stubborness to satisfy my desires in an ump (it's not a position for the weak of character). Great for couples - I did the bowling league as a weekly double-date type of deal with another couple. Unfortunately, that league went til about 10pm, and there was no drinking afterward. PSYCHE! There's totally drink service at your lane, and bowling is a great sport for having a few beers. Lucky Strikes is a fine place to bowl; though I don't think I'd frequent there of my own accord, it made for a good night out for the duration of the season. In the end, this catered to exactly what i was looking for - namely an excuse to get out of my apartment, do just enough athletic activity to trick myself into thinking I was being fit (and at a pretty reasonable price)... and, most importantly, going out for drinks afterward.

Just moved to South Philly and found out about this league through a friend. I'm a volleyball player so I'm trying out the outdoor 4v4 summer league. League seems well organized. A bit of a qualm is the outdoor seems to basically be rain or shine and we've played in pouring rain the last couple weeks. Sort of fun, but sort of crappy at the same time. Anyway, overall things seem pretty good and we'll see how it goes!

I love PSN- I've played with other leagues and this is by far the most organized, efficient and reliable (in terms of skill level). They also have the best locations, although I wish they still used the Bellevue! People are friendly but still competitive (in a normal way- not a creepy, over the top way). Having good refs makes all the difference, esp. in volleyball. The one drawback is that their online payment system is out-dated, it makes signing up with a team a pain. One person has to front upwards of $500 dollars for the team fee.

I am revising a review I wrote previously about PSN. To start, PSN has provided a really fun way for my group of friends to get together each week, run around, and play some soccer. From my experience, the league has been very well organized. Furthermore, the owners try to be receptive to feedback and willing to work with you. So far I have played with indoor and outdoor soccer and it has been a blast. That said, I have been frustrated with the league recently. As others mentioned, it is expensive. But more importantly, I think there should be more of an emphasis on safety. Several of my teammates have recently been hurt because the games has gotten too physical. I'm not too picky when it comes to refs, but i do think it is very important that they make calls (and make fair calls) to establish a safe and fair playing field. In my opinion, they need to step this up. C'mon guys its a coed rec league - no need for war wounds! Regardless, all in all playing, soccer with PSN has been a great experience and I would recommend it!

I don't really understand where all the money for the softball leagues goes. Other leagues will charge extra for ump fees, but you get actual umps who show up on time and know the rules, with PSN you get what you pay for. They also have a lot of strange rules for softball that are pretty inconsistently enforced. It's just a lot of hassle and headache at times, and at over $700 a team, you'd expect more than 6 games and no real playoffs. It also doesn't help that they seem to make you wear their shirts, so you can't even get a bar to sponsor you and chip in for some of the costs in exchange for you wearing their shirt. Lots of better options in the city.

I signed up as a free agent for dodgeball when I was new to town about 5 years ago. I have since played on over 40 PSN teams and always had a fantastic experience! I still play with some of the same people I met on my first team and I've met some of my best friends while playing dodgeball, kickball, and softball. I've tried other leagues in the city but none match the camaraderie and competition of PSN. I would definitely recommend PSN for people who played team sports in high school or college and are looking for that team atmosphere.
