Very cool! Hope you guys continue to play this style of ball. You should try the 1880s era…Who did you get your uniforms from? Conan bit is funny as heck…you guys should think about going to Old Bethpage to play…

There is actually a kickball league here. They play over off of Emerson. My wife played in it last season and they are gearing up for the winter season. It is called the W.A.K.A. The World Adult Kickball Association. Go to http://www.kickball.com and click on divisions and look for Florida/Atlantic(Jacksonville). The next season starts Feb. 28. They play every Thursday at 7p.m. for 10 weeks it costs $63 per person this includes team shirts, parties,and discount at team bar(Fuel Pit on Bowden Rd.). Registration ends Jan. 29. You can sign up individually or sign up a team of 18 or more. I went to a couple of the games and it actually looked pretty fun and well organized..

We have a couple of neighborhood football games. We just had our second annual turkey bowl, played the morning of Thanksgiving.

There will probably also be a game near news years day (maybe the Sunday before)

Kinda off topic and nothing against America’s pastime per se but are there other options for fun neighborhood games in Jax? There is a really fun kickball league in South FL – I often wonder why there isn’t one here. Might appeal to more ages and genders. Also, it’s winter and no flag football neighborhood games anywhere. Every office/restaurant in town has a softball/baseball team…

I don’t normally moderate comments, but “Spencer” insulted my wife so I had to bust that comment down. Not cool.
