Providence Kickball League Season 8 will begin...
Sign Ups have been announced...
May 10th, AS220 = 4:30 p.m. (we get kicked out at 6)
The Kommission would like to see no more than 14 teams
I know, I know, we are jerks. But hey, no one wants to play into October. So here it is: Returning teams get favortism, new teams will be decided upon Registration Day. If there are four slots for new teams, and six show up, we’ll figure out a way to make it fair... but two teams will have to walk away.
Required for Sign-ups
Team Manifesto:
This is easy. Most of you should expect this by now. Since the Kommission would like to continue having around a dozen or so teams, more importance will be placed on this. We’re serious. Make us laugh. Have a tight idea, and follow through. Be awesome.
One added thing... we will be enforcing a minimum team member rule. 15 people minimum per team on the roster. That ensures that each week your team can have the neccesary 10 players plus alternates. (This doesn’t mean that all members need to be at the game every week.)
Team Uniform:
Same thing goes here. Be awesome. Wow us. No lame t-shirt with a sharpie drawing on it. Providence is better than that.
Cash-Money:
Every year, we squeeze teams for money. Last year, it was a mere $75 bucks. This year, we have been required by the City to step it up. So the fee has increased due to the permit and insurance. The fee is $300 cash money per team (with the minimum of 15 on your roster, that’s still only $20 each player. And you’ll get some goodies out of it, plus the pleasure of playing kickball and knowing that you helped the City with their budget deficit).
What else to expect
Game opening extravaganza will be June 7th. 12 teams will play that day starting at noon. Mark your calendars.
The Kommission would like to expand... with your help. One member per team will be required on the Kommission... they need not be the coach, but any willing representative. This will help us in a few ways: we can “groom” new leadership, let more people know what goes on behind the scenes, and we can get help with party planning, game clean up, as well as get a better way to distribute information to the teams, as well as get info from the teams to improve the league.
See you all on Saturday.
