Is anyone aware of options or groups who facilitate pick-up games for youth in the metro?

It has been a while since we did any official Station Soccer stuff, but my experience was for kids it is run by Station Soccer staff who organize kids who show up into drills and then pick up. They do their best to match up skills/age, but it's pretty loose. I see it looks like they have things listed by age, so perhaps they have streamlined things a bit over the years. It's a wonderful concept that took advantage of the boom in soccer interest from Atlanta United and spread some opportunities to people who live along the train routes and otherwise wouldn't have access to fields and coaching. I think for adults, it's a great way to get some competitive pickup going. But for kids, it's very limited and probably not for competitive players. Anecdotally, they just opened new fields at the East Lake Station in Decatur. There are quite a few club playing kids in close proximty. They've taken to scaling the fences to get in and train, because the gates are locked most of the time. The staff has let it go for the most part.

Anyone know of pick-up games on the northern side of the Atlanta Metro? |

The Roswell parks turf fields are always open and there are frequent pickup games out there dawn to dusk.
