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.

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.
