Ithaca's Pick-up Scene

Ithaca pick-up follows two season. One season runs from thaw to freeze at Cass Park. The other season runs from freeze to thaw at Cass Park. Okay... so they basically never stop. Rain, snow, heat... no matter. When 27 inches of snow dropped on New York in one day in 1996 closing the postal service, people were playing pick-up at Cass Park. To get a better taste of this insanity, come out and play! You can get up-to-the-minute information by joining the pickup mailing list. And now, you can join the women's pickup list!
