Word on The Strip from 2011 Kickball Games Players:

“My favorite part of Founders Cup Weekend was watching all the teams on the field with their different costumes, themes, flags, logos, music, etc. It was really cool to see how each of them came from different parts of the nation but were all united here in their crazy and in kickball.”

“The best part of the weekend was having two friends getting engaged. They met playing kickball in Huntington Beach, CA, and now will spend the rest of their lives together (hopefully).”

“I loved being able to experience Vegas with the team and representing our league. Favorite part of The Kickball Games was meeting players/teams from other parts of the country.”

What is the format for The Kickball Games?

48 teams playing in pool play / round-robin play. Purpose: to play some fun kickball games, meet some fun people, and win one of the team superlative categories such as Best Costumes, Best Team Performance, Most Team Spirit, Life of the Party, and Best Overall Team!
