Summer Draft Reminders (Field Policies, Post-game Details)

We are extremely fortunate to partner with War Memorial Stadium for this summer draft league. There is no better venue in the country for our awesome sport than this one! Beautifully manicured fields, tunes pumping from the PA system, and cold beer flowing from the Tiki Bar create a perfect atmosphere for kickball. With that said, there are some guidelines that we have to follow.

• NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL: Because WMS does possess an ABC license, all outside booze is prohibited from stadium property, including the parking lot. The only alcohol that can be consumed is stadium purchased. Don’t worry though. These aren’t ballpark prices. Most beers are $3.
• Because WMS is also a minor league baseball stadium, it’s important to take care not to tear it up. The league has purchased artificial turf mats for the pitching circles. When pitching, please avoid planting outside of the turf mats.
• Please avoid walking across or warming up on the dirt infield.
• Pets are allowed inside the stadium, as long as they are on a leash, don’t crap and piss all over the place, and don’t viciously attack people. 

A couple other general notes before we get started with the greatest season of kickball to grace this green earth:

• Each game is scheduled for 5 innings or 60 minutes. When reffing, be mindful of the time. No new innings should start after the 20-minute mark of the hour (ex. For a 6:30 game, the 5th inning should not start after 7:20 PM). Any inning that was started prior to the 20 after mark should be completed in its entirety if it rolls past 20 after, unless the home team has a lead.
• If there is inclement weather and we need to cancel games, the announcement will be communicated through email, and Facebook as soon as a decision is made. If you have not received notice that we are postponed, assume that we are playing! 

And lastly after the games each week, you and your teammates are encouraged to swing by our post game club house, Tapps (1996 Power Plant Pkwy, Hampton) to mingle, enjoy great specials, play games, dance, and more!

• All season long, WAKA players enjoy $3 Bud Lights, 50% off appetizers, $4 well drinks, and $4 craft beers!
