We can all use more fun in our lives: If you’re looking for the best in St. Louis sports leagues (for adults), look no further. You can recapture your youth, at least for one hour a week — the real question is, which sport do you join first? You could try your, um, foot at soccer with Vetta Sports. Maybe you’d rather have a fun workout that frisbee with St. Louis Ultimate Association provides. Perhaps you’re daring (or more experienced) enough to try rugby with Missouri Rugby Football Union. Despite how your body may feel after a pick-up game at the park, nobody’s ever too old to get back into the game. The best in St. Louis adult sports leagues are listed below.
| Name | Location | Description |
| Volleyball at Wave Taco | 1335 Convention Plaza | We’re in Missouri — we’re nowhere near an ocean. But you can find some spectacular sand and fun with volleyball at Wave Taco. Get a group of friends or coworkers together and sign up for one of the many coed volleyball leagues available, organized by day of the week and difficulty. Plus, a beer and some fun on the sand make the ocean seem a whole lot closer. |
| Soccer with Vetta Sports | Multiple Locations | Sick of watching your five-year-old kick the soccer ball around the field each weekend? Why not get in on the fun? Sign up for one of the soccer leagues (men’s and women’s) with Vetta Sports. Choose from leagues at six indoor locations or three outdoor spots (or join the men’s or women’s 11 vs. 11 premiere league in Fenton if you think you’re up to it and get in the game). |
| Hockey with Arch Hockey | Multiple Locations | Whether you’re a former high school hockey star or a novice on the ice, Arch Hockey has a league for you. Strap on some skates and join one of St. Louis’s top adult sports leagues. You can play indoors in the spring or summer, but the real fun comes in the winter at Shaw Park in Clayton. |
| Baseball with St. Louis Men’s Baseball League and St. Louis Baseball Forever | Multiple Locations | Adult baseball lovers have two great options. Men 18 and up can sign up for the St. Louis Men’s Baseball League. Guys of a more advanced age who still seek a competitive atmosphere can turn to the St. Louis Baseball Forever League, which requires a minimum age of 45. |
| Softball with St. Louis Softball League | Multiple Locations | OK: Looking for one of the best options in terms of adult sports leagues in St. Louis? If you prefer something more short-term, a nice softball tournament just might do the trick. St. Louis Softball League hosts men’s, women’s, and coed leagues in eight different parks throughout the STL. |
| Frisbee with St. Louis Ultimate Association | Multiple Locations | Ultimate Frisbee is constant exercise, and its self-refereeing culture make it an excellent game for adults looking for a good time (and a great workout). St. Louis Ultimate Association’s leagues (several different levels of competitiveness are available) are the city’s best way to play. |
| Kickball with BigBalls Kickball League or St. Louis Kickball Association | Multiple Locations | Kickball isn’t just a game played during grade-school recess. Adults looking to have a fun and rowdy time drinking some beers and kicking some balls in personalized uniforms can opt for BigBalls Kickball League. Another enjoyable option is the St. Louis Kickball Association, who have been playing the game since 2001. |
| Rugby with Missouri Rugby Football Union | Multiple Locations | Adults looking for an intense challenge in their sports league need to look no further than rugby, the fastest-growing team sport in the United States. Missouri Rugby Football Union is the governing body for a variety of men’s and women’s teams in St. Louis, as well as youth, high school and college squads. |
| Pool at The Cue | 3632 S Big Bend Blvd. Maplewood | OK, we’re cheating a bit; pool isn’t technically a sport. Or is it? Pool at The Cue is not your normal billiards at a bar. Leagues on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (plus a monthly, women’s-only league on Sundays) offer St. Louis’s best chance for some friendly pool competition. Of course, if you’d rather just come here for a beer and an informal game, open play tables are typically available as well. |
| Various Sports with Sports Monster | Multiple Locations | Unsure which sport you want to play? Sports Monster offers basketball, soccer, volleyball, flag football, softball and kickball for men and women across the St. Louis area.
