Welcome

You may remember it as "soccer-baseball," that game you played in P.E. class in elementary school that's like baseball, only you kick a soccer-sized ball instead of swinging a bat. It's a simple game that doesn't require much in the way of athleticism or skills, so we don't want to hear that old "I'm not good at sports" excuse. The point of BLK is not to achieve sporting greatness, but to meet new people, have some fun, and share a few drinks afterwards.

Wanna play kickball?

Big League Kickball brings a fresh new twist to the adult recreational sports scene. Kickball. Yes, just like you played in the 5th grade! This great playground pastime is now back for adults 18 and older to enjoy.

BLK encourages rivalries, cheering, and general fun, but if you are an individual looking for an extremely competitive sport, our leagues may not be for you. Remember, it's just kickball. You can’t really get that worked up or mad about anything…it's just kickball.

Sign up here for this season!

Over and over, the organizers stress that Big League Kickball is a place to make friends, snag drink specials - Black Bear Saloon in White Plains is a sponsor - and re-live that big red rubber ball of our youth.

In his blue-and-white barber-pole socks and unnecessary sweatband - it's kickball, not the Ironman Triathlon - co-president Maurice Reep exemplifies the carefree attitude. The Larchmont resident watches a game between the Unforgettable Fire and Chuck Balls, one of many ball-themed team names, while waiting for his own team, You Cannot Be Serious, to get on the field. The Unforgettable Fire is badly beating Chuck Balls. Several players have walloped long kicks into the outfield at Purchase College. The more athletic players are flexing their muscles.
