Can you believe we are a little over a month away from the start of CLUBWAKA Raptor Kickball Winter 2017! It marks the start of the new kickball year and it is always a blast. As I have been talking to various individuals getting a feel for who is interested in playing there has been a common theme: No one actually knows if they plan on playing or not. Maybe this is because I am commissioning and they don't want to flat out tell me no, or maybe they really aren't certain. Whatever the case, here are the 3 reasons you are going to play Winter kickball.
1.) It's on Saturday's during a time where there are no major sports on TV.
See, if this were during college football season, NFL season (which is on Sunday anyway), or during peak Bo-Taoshi season then I could understand the cause for concern. However, NCAA Championship game is played on January 9th and this season begins January 21, NFL is on Sundays, and Bo-Taoshi has to be streamed illegally.
"Oh, but NCAA basketball plays on Saturday's."
Stop it. NCAA basketball plays during the week as well, but you still manage to work around those games. Also, lets be honest. You'll probably miss the first 20 minutes of Elon versus American University because most big games aren't played between 1:00 and 2:00 (Our usual start times on Saturday's)
2.) What else are you doing on a Saturday when it's 30 degrees?
"I don't want to play at Gosnold's and then try and get to a random bar."
Stop it. We are playing this season at Barron Elementary School off of Fox Hill Road. We are sponsored by County Grill off Mercury Blvd. You can have someone drop you off at the fields and then stumble your way to the bar (which is an 11-minute walk. I checked). After that, you're on your own. Uber home. Call a friend. Obviously, you can't drive since someone dropped you off, but you get the point.
Right now it is $67 through January 4th and then $72 until the 26th. Sign up now while you are still saving a few bucks. Also, team colors are on hold until January 1st.
"I don't play unless its over 32 degrees."
Stop it. Sure you can sit around in your warm house from sunrise to sunset playing Call of Duty while some 11-year-old works you and makes obscene comments about your mother, but even that gets old. You stay inside enough as it is. Put on some sweatpants, buy some hand and feet warmers, lace up your cleats, and get your butt on the damn field! If you are cold then play harder or drink more Bud Light (tip of the cap to Bud Light, thanks for sponsoring CLUBWAKA!).
3.) The bar is a half mile from the field
