People get together in Hoboken for a number of reasons, to have dinner with friends, grab a drink with a coworker, or to meet a date for a night on the town. Now, thanks to Hive Athletic, a new adult co-ed social sports league, locals can meet up and have fun playing sports. Keep reading to learn more about Hive Athletic and the exclusive offer for Hoboken Girl readers.
Stay Active + Make Friends with Hive Athletic
Hoboken transplant Chris Corbin started Hive Athletic after having a positive experience joining a coed touch football league in New York City where he met his wife and made dozens of new friends. Along with a team of referees, umpires, and field managers, Chris oversees operations at Hive Athletic, ensuring everything runs smoothly so players can focus on building the camaraderie that comes from being on a team.
“We pride ourselves on making sure that everyone who joins has an awesome experience and feels like they are a part of the Hive community, making memories to last a lifetime,” Chris told Hoboken Girl. “Simply put, we offer the easiest way to make new friends and have fun since college. By joining Hive Athletic, all you have to do is show up with a positive attitude and you’ll be surrounded by others looking to have fun and make new connections.”
Hive Athletic has something for everyone, from classic sports like soccer and football to leisure sports like kickball and pickleball at various levels of competition from casual to competitive — so everyone can truly find the perfect fit.

“Our goal is to bring people together to play team sports and make new connections. It’s that simple,” Chris mentioned. “We want everyone to have the confidence to know that when they sign up for one of our leagues, either as an individual, with a small group of friends or with a full team, that they are going to have something to look forward to at least once a week.”
At Hive Athletic, it’s all about scoring the winning goal while playing a game you love, having a scheduled time where you get to hang out with your friends and teammates, and of course, the optional-but-always-fun meeting new friends while playing flip-cup or beer pong at happy hour after the game. Experience level matters much less than getting together to have fun and make new friends.
What the Players Have to Say
“Hive Athletic has done an incredible job creating an inclusive, fun, and social environment that welcomes all levels of players. Players are invested in the competitiveness of the games, but never to the point where they don’t want to head to happy hour after for a drink with ALL teams. Joining the league has been such an enjoyable way to break up the week while meeting new people. Volleyball nights have become one of the highlights of my week!”

“What surprised me most was that while it’s a range of skill sets, it’s still a good level of competitiveness. All the teams are fairly matched up, which makes for great games. I was also surprised at how well organized and run the schedule and games are. We get weekly reminders, access to the standings, great refs, and alerts if there are any changes.”
