WE HAVE BETTER SPONSORS THAN ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS

As most of you know by now, registration for NACKA's summer season is now open and ready for sign-ups. However, what some of you out there might not know (if you live under a rock or in a van down by the river), is how many show stopping sponsors we have available to help reduce your team registration fee. We know...we know...we couldn't get any more awesome if we juggled flaming beer cans with our ears. 

Our official bar sponsors have agreed to contribute money towards our kickball teams and will pay NACKA directly. This way you don't have to worry about their portion of your teams registration fee. You can better spend your time worrying about other things...like whether or not boxing is rigged or what will the new princess be wearing around London. All you have to do is register for NACKA, pick a sponsor from our list, play fantastic kickball, and go to your sponsors establishment to get your drink on...your eat on...or your swerve on. That parts totally up to you.


Official Bar Sponsors of NACKA Kickball Summer Season 2015:

• WallStreet
• J.D. Oxfords
• Murphys Law

KICK IT! SUMMER REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!!

What's the 411?? NACKA has just opened up its summer 2015 team registration! That's right drunky smurfs...it's that time again. It's time to sign up for pounding beers and balls under the blazing lights at Sahlen's Stadium! Heard.

After the weather molestation that we all experienced this year, just the sheer thought of getting outside to play some summer kickball should be enough to get anyone hot and in the mood. We believe that DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince said it best with, "It's like the summer is a natural aphrodisiac". No oysters needed.


Normal summer registration is open until Thursday, May 21st. However, since we're such an incredibly generous kickball league...if you register your team before midnight on May 3rd you'll get a $50 discount. And do you know what $50 will get you? About 10 beers and a dozen chicken wings at JD Oxfords. And that's a little something we like to call...dinner.

No Bananarama, it's not going to be a "Cruel Summer", it's gonna be an awesome summer down at the stadium. Who wouldn't want to unwind after a long day in their air conditioned cubicle by being outside on a warm summer night with an ice cold beer (or 7). Don't take your pent-up office frustration out on your cube mate or your dog...take it out on the turf...by blasting people in the back with big balls for 7 innings straight. We've got the best therapy in town!!! 

Sign-up, register, and play. Or just sit home and be miserable this summer in your hot apartment and continue to beat your dog like a pansy.

NACKA Kickball Summer Season 2015 Registration Details:

• $50 Discount Early Bird Special available until 5/3 at midnight.
• Normal Registration available until 5/21 at midnight.
• Extended Registration available until 5/31 at midnight.
• Free NACKA t-shirt with registration.
• Social Skill Level: For teams that value fun over winning.

• Games are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday nights at Sahlen Stadium.

"HEEEEEEEY BATTER, BATTER, BATTER, BATTER...SWING BATTER"

"...He can't hit, he can't hit, he can't hit, he can't hit...swing batter." April 5th officially kicked off the 2015 Major League Baseball season with the infamous rivalry between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs. For the next six months, both divisions will be battling it out on the dusty diamond in hopes of winning a fancy schmancy ring that's full of bling, bling, bling.

We're hip to the fact that most of you might not realize that the MLB is officially underway as you are balls deep in NACKA's spring kickball season. Of course we understand your priorities here...but we would never want "America's favorite past-time" to be forgotten and completely overshadowed because of our ridiculously awesome league. That would just make us feel bad. So for this reason, we have compiled a fantastic list of must-see baseball movies that will have you chewing, spitting, and scratching your junk in public in less than two hours (not that any of you need more of a reason to touch yourselves in public). As you're watching, please remember that NACKA is an equal opportunity sports enthusiast.


Because we are a stellar kickball league and not Siskel & Ebert circa 1988, the following movies are listed only in alphabetical order. When it comes time to put some Kickball teams in a list...we'll rank the shit out of that. But until that time...pick a few, oil your glove, bust out the sunflower seeds, and start streaming.

*NACKA Note: We realize that some of these movies are cheesier than the queso dip at Chili's. But sometimes we all need to add a little bit more cheese into our diets.

NACKA Kickball's Must-See Baseball Movies List:

1. 42 (2013)
2. 61 (2001)
3. A League of Their Own (1992)

30 TEAM NAMES MADE WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT

NACKA Kickball's spring season is officially underway! Rubber balls are being gripped tightly and kicked lightly three nights out of the week at Sahlen's Stadium. As we make our way through the season, creating schedules and brackets and such, we are reminded of just how good our kickballers are at coming up with witty team names. Yes, most of these team names are dirty and downright shameful. Yes, most of these team names were definitely drawn up on a napkin, at a bar, in crayon. And yes, most of these teams are terrible at playing kickball. But these teams have one thing in common...they all are exceptionally good at creating ingenious kickball puns.

Here are some of the NACKA Kickball teams, both past and present, that we feel have gone above and beyond with using vulgar game day innuendo's to create their team rosters. And for those of you who think they can come up with better (or worse)...the summer season is lurking right around the corner. Forget about what your grandma would think...forget about your moms disappointed face...grab a group, get drunk, and draft up a team name that would leave your third grade teacher crying in disgust.    

**Don't get your jock strap in a bunch...these team names are listed in no particular order.**

NACKA Kickball's Tasteless Team Names:

1. "Flock of Seaballs"
2. "I'm Kick James, Bitch"
3. "Pitches n' Hoes"
4. "Kick Tease"
5. "Fresh Prince of Ball-Air"
6. "Bitches Be Crazy"
7. "Multiple Scoregasms"
8. "We Got the Runs"
9. "We Finished on Your Base"
10. "Slap a Pitch"
11. "Been There, Kicked That"
12. "Virgins Stop at Third"
13. "Too Legit to Kick"
14. "Dirty Beavers & Sticky Balls"
15. "I Got 99 Problems, But a Kick Ain't One"
16. "Drunk Again and Looking to Score"
17. "Let's Kick! But First, Let Me Take a Selfie!"
18. "For 10 Cents a Day You Can Feed Our Right Fielder"
19. "I Kicked a Girl and I Liked It"
20. "Red Balls & Vodka"
21. "Where My Pitches At?"
22. "Drinkers With a Kicking Problem"
23. "Ball and Oats"
24. "It Burns When I Kick"
25. "Five DowaKicky Kicky"
26. "Pitch Don't Kill My Vibe"
27. "Booze On First?"
28. "That Escalated Kickly"
29. "NACKA Please!"
30. "We Came, We Kicked, We Sucked Balls"

SPRING HAS SPRUNG AND KICKBALL HAS BEGUN

The geese are flying home (to igloos), snow is melting (and accumulating), birds are chirping (because they're frozen), and balls are flying...(at Sahlen Stadium)!

That's right little ones, the spring season for NACKA Kickball is in full swing! It might not feel warm and spring-like outside but rest assured every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday night there will be wet balls being pounded into submission among a sea of high fives in downtown Rochester. With team names such as; "Pitches Be Crazy", "Save a Tree, Eat a Beaver", and "Slutts...Butts...and Ballers", this season promises to not be a sober one.    

As NACKA's opening week draws to a close, the anticipation of games to come is at an all-time high. Three nights out of the week beginning at 7:15pm gaggles of grown adults set aside their dignity and self respect for a few hours in order to battle it out on the field under the blazing lights. If the thought of watching slightly competitive kickball being played by more than slightly drunken team members peeks your curiosity - then seriously, swing on down. Grab some beers at our beer truck and take a seat in the stands. Heckling is encouraged. Nudity is optional.

ERIN GO BRAGH BALLERS!

Some pretty awesome things have come out of Ireland...U2, shamrocks, Enya, Collin Farrell, and of course, Guinness. As the "luck of the Irish" would have it, during the middle of March every year we get to celebrate everything Irish by drinking so much that we actually convince ourselves that we all are in fact, directly from Ireland.     

Saturday, March 14th, kicks off the 38th annual St. Patrick's Day parade in downtown Rochester. East Avenue and Main Street will soon be transformed into a make-shift Emerald Isle, as thousands of lads and lasses gather in green to channel their inner leprechaun spirit. And how does one channel their inner leprechaun you ask? By polishing off 7 pints of Guinness, plastering your face with shamrock stickers, covering your neck in green beads, and by shouting "Erin go bragh" at the top of your lungs in a very, very bad Irish accent, that's how.   


Beginning at 12:30pm at the intersection of East and Scio, this years parade will feature a crap load of marchers, floats, and music. From marching bands to horses to bag pipes to dancers, this magically delicious event has something for everyone. Not to mention all of the bars you can pop-in and visit on your way down the parade route!

And if you're even the slightest bit nervous about all the empty green beer calories you will pound down this year...there's a solution for that too! You can keep your girlish figure fit & trim by signing up for the Johnny's "Runnin' O The Green" 5 mile run at 9:30am this Saturday before the parade. That's like killing 2 birds with 1 Blarney Stone, if you ask us.

Hopefully we will see some NACKA kickballers at the parade and we can say "they're always trying to get their hands on me lucky charms" together! Slainte!

2015 TOPS Rochester St. Patrick's Day Parade

• Saturday, March 14th 12:30pm at East &  Scio.
• Free parking in select garages
• Live Music
• Family Fun
• Ends at Plymouth & Main

GET PUMPED FOR MARCH MADNESS!!

March Madness is God's way of wrapping up the crappy ass winter we've been having, ending it on a high note, and going out with a bang. St. Paddy's Day (ironically) kicks off this years NCAA Basketball Tournament. Soon we will all be feverishly mapping out our road to the Final Four picks, while betting a month's salary on who's taking it all...because during bracket time, everyone is a professional gambler!

A ton of us have been severely violated and sexually assaulted by ridiculous weather for the past 4 months. We realize that this harshness may have taken a toll on your basketball spirit or on your general sports well-being. But that's not going to continue on our watch. We have compiled a fantastic list of basketball movies that will have you chanting "Shoot Two, Shoot Two", instead of the "Shoot Me, Shoot Me", that you've been saying every morning when scraping your windshield. So curl up by the fire, under a blanket, and start downloading some of these timeless flicks. You'll be dreaming of free-throws and of the millions you're sure to win with your brackets this year in no time.
