Kickball leagues

Kickball leagues are gaining popularity in bigger southern cities, but they have been huge in DC for a while.  The games are usually played on the Mall, or other areas around the city.  After the games are over, each division of teams are assigned a bar in DC where they continue the competition on the flip cup table.  Team are ranked by how well they play on the field and in the bar.  My friends usually play in the spring and summer leagues, but I moved here after the spring sign-up was over and only got to play the summer league this year.  We made it to the semi-finals.  Looks like my elementary school kickball skills paid off in the long run.


DC has a ton of other adult sports leagues, not just kickball.  There is always some kind of team to join here, any time of year.  Kickball, softball, dodge ball, flag football, soccer, basketball- you name it.  There are even leagues for bar games such as indoor bocce ball, skee ball, cornhole and shuffleboard.   
       


Here are a couple of pics from kickball.  It is such an amazing feeling to play kickball on the Mall, under the Washington Monument.
