About Us
TX Live is Thursday night Summer kickball in Austin, TX. We are known for great kickball, our unmatched post-game expereince, legendary parties, and a year-round social schedule with something for everyone! Live is a beginner-friendly league which strives to be accessible to folks who are new to WAKA, new to kickball, and don't expect to be the most ruthlessly effective kickball team in the world. We play an 8 game regular season with games on Thursday evenings at 6:30, 7:15, and 8:00 PM. Upon completion of the season, the teams are seeded into a league-wide championship tournament to determine who has the party stamina to make it through a whole day of kickball without going to Barton Springs to take a nap.
