Teams vs Friend Groups

Teams and Friend Groups are similar.  A friend group is the beginning of a team that can consist of 2 - 26 people.  It is encouraged to start a friend group if you have friends that you would like to play with otherwise you are at the mercy of the random placement.

An email can also be sent to mvanalstyne@kickball.com, however it is much easier to get this taken care of through creating a friend group.

Steps to create a friend group:
1. Log into your account at www.kickball.com/txfreedom.
2. Once logged in, click on your user name on the top right side of the page.
3. This will bring you to your profile page where you can choose the option to create a friend group.  Name it something unique, because in most cases this will be your team name later.
4. On that same page you have the ability to email your friends and prompt them to join your newly created friend group.  Be sure to include the name of the group in your email so your other players/friends can sign up.

Types of Ballers

Through my years running a kickball league I have identified several different types of ballers. Here is my interpretation:

Die Hard Baller - one that shows up to every kickball event and participates in multiple leagues.

Competitive Baller - one that does not partake in the traditional adult beverages and makes it a point to win at all costs.

Social Baller - one that is here for the fun of the game.  Not too much concern on the outcome of the game, but appreciates the social aspect of the kickball family.

Boozing Baller - one that is all about the adult beverages and perceives kickball games in the traditional sense of a school yard activity.  May make it to the game, but lives for the drink specials.


I am no expert on sociology, but this is how I see it.  There may be some crossover between each type of baller, however at its core these seem to be the most prevalent.  

Why Kickball?

Kickball is simplistic in nature and speaks to a variety of individuals.  Competitors, socialites, bar flies, networkers, singles, and couples all have a place within kickball.  We like to think of ourselves as a family.  Our family grows each season through word of mouth; our craft has reached thousands of ballers across the country.      

Individual leagues like TX Freedom cater to their specific region.  The Colony is where TX Freedom resides.  Ballers from the area meet up each week to take part in sanctioned kickball games in the quest for the coveted Championship Trophy.  


Post game the league (90+ people) head to our sponsor bar (Rugby House) where drink and food specials have been negotiated specifically for Kickball members (ballers).
