Free Agents

Free Agents are players that register individually WITHOUT creating/or joining a friend group.  Free agency is great if you are looking to meet new people and do not care what team you play for.  Those that are more particular please see the steps below.

How do I make sure I am on the same team as my friends?  
Step 1: Register early.  If you register early, prior to the Team Registration Deadline, you do not have to worry about being subject to random placement.  Once the registration deadline passes free agents are placed onto friend groups that do not meet the 15 player minimum.

Step 2: Assign a Captain.  Captains create friend groups when they register and communicate reminder information to players within the group.

Step 3:  Register under friend group created.  When you register you will be able to create or pick a friend group to join.  From your profile page (log in and click your user name in the top right corner) you can access the friend group option.

Starting A New Kickball Team

Using the website can get tricky when starting a new team, so hear are 3 simple steps to help you out.  


Step 1- Register:
To create a team you must register at www.kickball.com/txfreedom first.  Once you enter the site you will need to click on the large blue button pictured to the right.  Follow the instructions to create an account. 


Step 2 - Navigate to profile page
Once registered click on your user name in the rightmost top corner of the page.  This will bring you to your profile page that looks something like this the image to the right.   


Step 3 - Click on the "Create a friend group" option.
A friend group is a way for you and your friends to group together. At the start of a season, League Managers will use friend groups to form teams. You may only belong to one friend group per season. Friend group invites expire after 42 days. Friend groups must be limited to 26 members, as a team may only have a maximum of 26 players.  


Your friend group name will eventually become your team name, so be creative.  Some past team names: Where's My Pitches At?, Who's on First?, Sons of Pitches, Ballywood, 99 Problems But A Pitch Ain't One.    


Step 4 - Invite your friends: 

Invite your friends to join your friend group.  Share the page with an email, facebook message, twitter tweet, or carrier pigeon. Provide the link to www.kickball.com/txfreedom in your message and make them aware of your friend group name. Your friend group will transfer to team status after you reach 15 players.  Partial teams, not equaling 15 players, will be supplemented with free agents upon your permission and availability.



Full Team Payment:  
One payment for a full team can be made upon request.  Inquire with mvanalstyne@kickball.com.
