Calling All Flip Cup Aficionados.....
Here are the places to be in Vegas over Labor Day Weekend:
Friday 8/29: 5-7pm - Crazy Happy Hour at "Stir" in The Platinum Hotel ($10 buckets and $2 off WAKA Cocktails)
At 7pm, head to the Platinum pool to check out all the hotties watching to see what WAKA is all about, with our feature presentation of the FCXI Winning Video, the movie "21", and an exclusive Maroon 5 concert video!
Saturday 8/30: FCXI
Anybody who is somebody will be at the fields checking out all the action (and we don't mean flip cup….yet) during the 11th Annual WAKA World Kickball Championship!
FCXI will be played Under the Lights (with a sweet view of The Strip) and there will be an air-conditioned hydration tent, full of all our favorite beverages.
Sunday 8/31: 2 pm – Flip Cup Tournament at O'Shea's Casino
Las Vegas will be the home of the world-record WAKA Flip Cup tourney where staff will dare to take on any players and teams who don't get scared away – The debauchery will begin at 2pm on The Strip….no hooking up in bathrooms or corners, they throw you out for that. Or maybe not, it is Vegas after all.
"We all know the Flip Cup table is where sport really takes place in this league. Kickball is simply meant to get the blood flowing."
Bringing that special someone? Get them a "Beer Band" for $25 so they can have as much fun as the rest of us. On SALE in the WAKA Store late this month!
We're less than 60 days out, updates made weekly – get the 411 HERE!

On location and
touring around the nation-WAKA Kickball players always on
vacation! Check out all the places WAKA players have gone.

Carrie K. and Tamara T. on the "Irish Drinking Team" in the TX Cowboy Division show their WAKA and Irish pride down in old Mexico! Looks like they had a few admirers….

Kellie E. of the "Crazy Kickers" from the VA Shore Division climbed Macchu Picchu to share her love of WAKA! |

Alison F. of the "Cosmic Banditos" from the CA Fiesta Division rocks her lime green at the Great Wall in China! |

CA Fiesta Division sent their players all over the world! Lars F. from the "Surly Pirates" sported his WAKA wear in Istanbul, Turkey! |

Laura S. of the NY Mid Hudson Division went to the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival earlier this month and "of course wore my WAKA shirt to show my pride. Somehow in the sea of 100,000 people I found 4 other kickball souls who wandered past me with 'Yeah, we play kickball too, woo hoo!' They were lost in the crowd by the time I was done with my 'kickball rules!' response so I have no idea what division they were from. But it's nice to see that in a mass of that many strangers you can find a comrade in kickball!" |
