Hi ARS Coed Kickball Team!!
Kickball. Who said it was just a kid’s game? Fall season begins this SUNDAY, August 1st @ 3:00pm! Oh yeah. Please bring identification to the first game. You are required to sign a Parker Rec Waiver. Important information below, so please make sure you read it ALL.
First off, WELCOME BACK MVP’s: Danielle, Cory, Wes, Sebastian, Jeremy, Lauren, Sandra, Chuck and Kim T… has anyone seen Teresa? 😉
Second, let’s give a huge SHOUT OUT to our NEWEST TEAMMATES: Jesse, Kristen, Josh, Morgan, Samantha, Celeste, Jordan, Kim K., Aimee, Kelly, Jenny & Brett! We are so excited to have you on our team!! We have newbies to torture. JK. We're a friendly bunch.
Are you on TeamSnap? If not, I’ll keep sending you reminders... And that's not fun. TeamSnap contains all our team info including; game times, important updates and/or schedule changes, plus you can chat with teammates, post pics, etc. Most importantly, you MUST indicate your availability for each game on TeamSnap. Otherwise, Saturday night and Sunday morning, you’ll be receiving multiple texts, maybe calls or knocks on your door, notes on your car, smoke signals…you get my point. It tells me that we will have enough players (men & women) for the game. Otherwise we have to forfeit and it costs me $40. doh!
Now, for some housekeeping items:
WHAT - It’s Co-ed Adult (18+) Kickball! Kickball is a fun and engaging sport for people of all athletic ability, a simple game consisting of two teams and a big red ball. Played like softball, the object is to score more runs than the opposing team. No experience needed. Our only mission - get out of your comfort zone and have a blast.
WHEN - Every Sunday (except Labor Day weekend) August 1st - October 3rd. Game schedule is below. Games start at 1pm, 2pm or 3pm and last about an hour or 7 innings, whichever comes first. Please arrive 30 minutes early for stretches and practice.
*** Optional: Sometimes we meet after games at the Tailgate for food & drinks, BBQ in the park, or hang out with our kiddos on the playground ***
WHERE - Games are played at O’Brien Ball Field (Parker Road & Mainstreet).
ATTIRE – Free team jerseys will be provided before the first game. Send me your T-Shirt size. I preordered shirts already. So first come, first served on size. I'll order additional shirts if needed. Please wear your team jersey to every game. You may also wear last season’s shirt. Same color scheme. Athletic shorts, yoga pants, sweats, etc., is recommended, along with cleats (no metal cleats) or sneakers. Soccer cleats are the best. Sorry ladies, no heels on this field. Sunscreen, layers, and water bottles are encouraged.
EQUIPMENT - None needed. I provide practice balls and a whip. 😝
ADDITIONALLY: Last season my company sponsored the team so no one paid any fees or purchased shirts. This season, I personally paid the team registration fee. So, requesting everyone pitch in $20. If we have additional funds leftover, I’ll purchase BBQ meats and adult beverages after our playoff games. Please bring cash to the first game. I also take Venmo or Cash App.
Questions? Call me! Let’s Kick It This Season. See ya Sunday!!
