Reviews

wRECk Sports, a recreational sports blog, recommends United Social Sports, and four Yelpers give it a perfect five-star rating:

• Are you more of a “bar-lete” than a traditional athlete? If that’s the case, you’ll want to check out United Social Sports…that offers some of the more non-traditional sports that can be played in bars and with a beer in hand. – Nick, wRECk Sports
• I played in United Skeeball in its first season and had a total blast. It was very well run and I met some great new friends. – Dan B., Yelp
• Great way to make new friends in the city. I highly recommend it! – Kristin W., Yelp
