I am interested.  When and where do you play?

Hey gang!

The Gateway kickball team is still taking subs for our remaining games;
no need to register until we start a new season if you'd like to be in
the regular rotation next time.

We frequently field subs to fill out our team so you may get to play as
much as you want!  Reply and I will add you to our game notices.

See you on the field!

Hey Y'all!

Due to its popularity, a group of us from Gateway, and a few outside
of Gateway, are forming a second Gateway kickball team to play in
the Austin Parks Coed Kickball League on Friday evenings.


Here is the general information you need to know.  If you are
interested please let me know ASAP since team registration begins
Aug. 20th and fills up fast.  I would like a full roster by the
start of registration so we don't miss out.



Season Start:      Sept. 19th

Game Night:      Friday

Game Times:      6:30, 7:20, 8:10, 8:50

Season Cost:       $25 (less depending on how many additional
players sign up)

Season Length:   10 weeks (8 Games & 2 bye's)

Game Length:     45 Min.

Championship:   Playoff for top 3 teams

# of Teams:        8 teams in league

Location:            Gillis Park (15 miles from Gateway according to
Google maps)

Since many of the teams have soccer players on them I though others
from Gateway soccer may be interested in playing also.
