It's almost time for some kickball!


Kickballers! 

The wait is almost over! In just 6 short days we'll be lacing up our cleats and kicking the big red rubber ball around the War Memorial outfield before heading on out to Luckie's for some sweet drinks, dancing, and games!

I want to thank you all for signing up to play WAKA Kickball. This is the 10th season of VA Peninsula and it's the biggest one yet! We have 16 teams and over 280 players competing and partying every Wednesday night!

Just wanted to go over a few updates before we kick off!

Schedule Released
The Fall 2011 Schedule is now posted online! Please check it out here. Every team is scheduled for 12 games over 11 weeks (one double header).

Rules
Please be sure to check out the Official WAKA rule book and FAQs online at www.kickball.com/rules. Not only will this help you perform on the field, but it will help you when it's your turn to refferee. Each team is responsible for reffing 6 games over the course of the season (as outlined in the schedule). Don't worry though, before the Week 1 games at 6 PM, we will be having a Ref Clinic to help explain all the rules and best practices. Please be sure to show up early, especially if it's your first time playing. Well worth the time.

Sponsor Bar
After the games are over, head over to our official clubhouse, Luckie's Dueling Pianos (1996 Power Plant Pkwy, Hampton, VA). On WAKA Wednesday kickballers enjoy:
  • $3 Bud Light Pounders
  • $3 WAKA Bombs
  • Live DJ and Dance Party
  • Games and More!
Who will win the Bar Buzz Championship each week?!?

Ghost Man on Third Blog
One of the things that many players enjoy is the "media coverage" in the world famous "GMOT Blog" (I can say it's world famous because 139 pageviews have come from Malaysia). Be sure to book mark the blog and check it throughout the season for Game Previews, Recaps, Interviews, Power Polls, the Bar Buzz Championship, pictures, videos, and other random crap... It's the one stop source for all News and Notes around the VA Peninsula League!

NEED YOUR HELP! If you are creative and would like to contribute to the blog, please let me know! We would love to have as many diverse people and ideas providing entertaining content as possible.

Meet & Greet! 
Before the season even kicks off be sure to come out to our Pre-Season Meet & Greet on Friday, August 19th, 6:30 PM at Luckie's Dueling Pianos!
  • Free Appetizer Buffet before 8 PM! 
  • Each Kickballer who is there before 8 PM will receive a ticket for a free happy hour drink! 
  • After the Happy Hour enjoy live entertainment from the dueling pianos dudes! 
The theme for the MnG is Red Light, Yellow Light, Green Light! So we know what everyone's status is before we start, wear red if you're taken, green if you're single, and yellow if you aren't quite sure!

The Social Networks
I'm not talking about that movie with Justin Timberlake. I'm talking about the league's official Facebook and Twitter pages. Be sure to like and follow for updates throughout the season.

  
That's all the updates I have for now! Can't wait to see you all at the fields on Wednesday!!

If anyone has any questions or needs anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Thank you,


Commissioner Wentworth
Sr. Customer Service Representative
