Polar Bear Sighted at DC Fray League 🐻‍❄️ ⚽️

On a chilly winter evening, players at a DC Fray soccer league did a double-take when an unexpected new teammate wandered out of the zoo and right onto the pitch: a polar bear! Towering over defenders, surprisingly light on its feet, and clearly loving the game, the bear blended right in, trading passes, chasing goals, and proving that even the wildest creatures can’t resist the joy of social sports. Spectators rubbed their eyes, teammates laughed in disbelief, and for a moment, it seemed like DC had just witnessed the world’s first ever animal soccer prodigy.

Okay…so maybe there wasn’t actually a polar bear playing soccer. But the fun, friendships, and unforgettable moments are very real, and you can sign up now through Tuesday, January 20th for any of our 120+ DC Fray winter social sports leagues happening all across the DMV!
