Let's Kick It

Since my wedding mania is almost over, I’ve decided that I definitely need something new to occupy my time. Enter Underdog Sports League. I’ve become convinced that this organization is the best thing Seattle has ever experienced. It was started with concept of providing laid back leagues for everyday players – everyday Underdogs who want to play a game, meet some people, and then go talk about the game afterward at a local bar. Sweet.

I’ve already been on three Underdog Bowling Leagues and had a fantastic time on each. But this summer Jeanna and I decided to branch out a bit, and today we took the plunge… signing up as individual players on a Kickball League! Welcome back to fifth grade, I am so excited! The description of Underdog Kickball on the Web site is absolutely brilliant – this is my kind of sports league.
This great playground pastime is now back for adults 21 and older to enjoy. We at Underdog Kickball encourage rivalries, cheering and general fun; Remember, it’s just kickball, and you can’t really get that worked up or mad about anything… it’s just kickball. The idea behind kickball – past and present – is to have fun first, win second. And… the upside of kickball for grown-ups is the chance to go to a local sponsor bar after the game, socialize and hang out.
Signs that you are probably an Underdog:
  • You spend more time coming up with nicknames for your teammates than coming up with plays to run.
  • Your pre-game preparation consists of remembering where you left your glove and cleats.
  • You remember half the lines from Office Space and Caddy Shack but often forget what your team record is.
Love it. Let’s kick it.

Also to follow this summer: Drinks on the Links Mini Golf.

So glad to see you posting again!

I know of a bunch of people who play kickball back in Seattle. It'd be interesting to find out if you ended up on the same team as one of them. Anywayz, I always wanted to join. You should definitely give it a try!
