Good evening everyone!
I just wanted to pop on here and say hello!
My name is Theresa and I am just one of the team of ladies that is trying to organize Ladies of Lewis-McChord Kickball to be a reality!
So, for an update: My research of fields that will meet our needs and be available for the times and days we will be needing them has led me to Baker and St. Helen's fields on the corner of Main St. and B street, behind the McChord Fitness Center.
Speaking of times, I had a few comments and messages about when we will be practicing and playing games. So, once we have teams formed up, each coach will confer with their team about what day(s) of the week will work best for practices, but it will most likely be during the week in the evenings. Games will be Sunday afternoons. Once we get to registration we will know how many teams we will need and that will tell us how much time we will need to have to make sure every team plays each week.
Now, it is JBLM's duty to keep these fields in shape. That being said, they seem to have neglected these a bit and my experience with Ft. Carson is that the post will do the bare minimum for upkeep. That's okay though, because we can rally together as a league and put in the effort as well, right? Right?! Okay, how about if I sweeten the deal? Our parent organization, Army Spouse Kickball, is registered as a non-profit and any extra hours anyone puts in toward helping the league will count as volunteer hours (tell the active duty members in your life who may need some). There are stands between the two fields that need a good power wash and bathrooms that we need to request someone open, so I cannot speak to the state of them, but I will be talking to JBLM about doing something if they are in bad shape. We want to make sure everything is clean and safe enough for players and families.
So, right now I'm formulating plans to have anyone who wants to and is a available to meet up at the fields (I will update soon with a date and time). We can assess what needs to be done, go over basics for those who are rusty on how to play, kick the ball around and maybe get a scrimmage going, and just meet to say hello! You will not need to register or pay for anything yet, I just wanted to meet up and not leave everyone hanging. I was so psyched to get such a large response from you all.
Can't wait to meet everyone!
