About the Austin Sports and Social Club The Austin Sports & Social Club (SSC) has been providing co-ed recreational leagues for over 40,000 adults each year, since 2005. With a dozen different sports, location all over town and emphasis on "social", leagues are open to everyone (no experience necessary) and all games are followed by happy hours. No team? No problem. Austin SSC allows one to sign up by themselves, or with a small group of friends, and be placed with others just like you. For companies, they offer private leagues, tournaments or field day events, to give all employees the change to laugh and bond with co-workers outside the office. And for the little ones, SSC Kids offers leagues & clinics for children as young as two years old, with a goal of returning the focus to "fun" in youth sports.
