World Cup Week!

Hey Kickballers!!!  Great games last week! I'm glad Mother Nature decided clear up the sky so we could have a sunny night for us so we were able to play!  This week I am not too sure about though.  I most likely will have to wait until 2pm when the Parks and Rec walk the fields to see what they say about the field status.  If you are curious of the scores from last week... here they are!  Congrats to our winning teams!
 
Our schedule for this week is below. If this week is a rainout then we will push the schedule back 2 weeks as we don't have kickball next week for the 4th of July holiday! We would also cancel the last week of the regular season so playoffs are completed by August 14th.  I will let you know if tomorrow is cancelled.  IF you DONT hear from me expect games to be on!




This week is THEME WEEK!!!! The theme is WORLD CUP!  Don't forget that your team is dressing up as the chosen country below!  Be creative and I expect to see alot of fun costumes!!!

Loko 4 Fireball: Belgium
Swift Kickin the Balls: Italy
Silver Sacs: Mexico
MoneyBall: Argentina
Mixed Nuts: Brazil
Ball Me Maybe: Germany
Sit On My Base: England
Balls N Dolls: USA
Como Te Llamas: Japan
 
I will be taking pictures of all the teams throughout the night.  Please come to the bar after as we will have a Beer Pong and Flip Cup tournament to see who wins the World Cup in both of those "bar game sports"!!!
 
Also, MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!! Midseason party is coming up on Friday JULY 11TH! I created a Facebook event today and will be posting more about it in the group and in emails to you as well! 
 
Looking forward to the theme night tomorrow night! See you all at the fields!

     Hello Kickballers! What a great first week we had last week! I don't know about you... but I was very happy to have my kickball Thursdays back!!!! Congratulations to our winning teams!  If you want to see all the scores here they were:


     This week we will have games again at 7, 8, and 9pm.  Arrive early prior to when you are playing or reffing! :) We want the games to start right on the hour... if not before!  Make sure yall check the game schedule as it did change earlier this week.  For your convenience, here is the schedule for this week's games:

 
Captains, the schedule has CHANGED over the next few weeks so make sure that yall are checking the updated schedule on the site.  It shouldn't be changing again for the remainder of the season.  Let me know if there are any issues and we can look into it! 
 
Thanks for everyone that came out to the bar this past week!  It was packed and I loved seeing all the flip cup and beer pong games!!  This week we WILL be starting to keep score for the bar games and I have a poster that will allow the teams to keep track of the bar game standings that will be up at the bar!  This week the official game will be beer pong!!  I will be sending out the rules on how we are going to play for the "scored portion" of the games.. and then the rest of the night you can compete against the other teams for fun!!
 
Theme for June 26th theme night has been decided!! The votes are in.... and the theme will be.....
 
WORLD CUP!!!
 
So each team start thinking about which country you will choose! Each country can only be choosen once AND they MUST be one of the teams playing in the actual World Cup this year!! It is first come, first serve so let me know which country as soon as you decide. 
 
Well that is all!! Let me know if you have any questions and if it rains (highly UNLIKELY) I will let you know games have been cancelled... otherwise games are still on!  See you at the fields tomorrow night!
