Jamboreeeeeee!!!
Soon, so very soon, we’ll all be sweating our collective booties off at our beloved, mole hill laden Pier Park!
While you’re trembling in anticipation of the upcoming Opening Day, remember you can shed some of the preseason willies at the annual Jamboree on Saturday, May 20th. Casual pickup game(s) begin at 1PM on Pier 2.
Recommended reading: 2023 Season Schedule, and an important update to the League Rules.
SEE YOU SOON!!
<3 Commish
Dear Fun League and friends, our beloved commissioner Rand Phillips-Netherton recently suffered a scooter accident resulting in a torn tendon, medical expenses, and time missed from work as she recovers from the incident. Let’s show our community support for the woman who makes all of our Saturday Softball fun possible!
If you are able, please give what you can and help get Randi back on her feet.
Thank you!
The weather is having its way with us again today, marking the 3rd total rainout in a row! Thanks to the noon teams for showing up and giving it a try.
With that, the schedule has been completely rewritten, round robin style. If we have no more rainouts, this saves us from a bunch of ties in the standings. See the new schedule here or on the calendar page.
Yikes.
Even with these short breaks in rain, our fields at Pier have been completely unplayable.
Unfortunately, the constraints of our schedule make rescheduling every game difficult, if not impossible. Head over to the schedule page to see the latest updates. Hang in there, Fun League!
Our special rules have been updated/ clarified and posted to the League Rules page.
While this is admittedly not the most glamourous announcement, the updates were both important and overdue, and I hope you all take a moment to look them over so you know what to expect for the season to come.
Notable edits include language promoting more gender inclusivity, changes to the veto and mercy rules, and clarifications regarding game length/time.
See you soon, League!
Isn’t it just so super dreamy when base coaches don’t have to make calls against their own team and can focus on being good coaches?
I’m so glad you agree!
If you’d like to help make that dream a reality for your buddies across the league, please consider signing up to umpire games. It’s a fun and easy way to experience the game from a new perspective, literally!
Here it is, Fun Leagers – your 2022 schedule is now available!
Back for 2022: Hungry Tiger, Wedgehead, and AFTER PARTIES! Visit the schedule page for download options.
And don’t forget: a little spring training will be in order, so be sure to come to the Jamboree on May 21st to brush up on skills and play a little pick-up with your pals. See you soon!
As many of you may know, our good pal Kelsey (Larry) collided with another player during a game on July 31st, causing her to be taken to the ER by ambulance for further scanning/evaluation.
We have started a gofundme to help cover the cost of this injury. The goal amount may be changed to reflect any relevant medical bills incurred after this effort goes live.
Please help out if you can, with any amount you’re able. All funds go directly to Larry. Thank you!
Here it is, your 2021 Playoff Schedule, hot off the… app? Winners of the noon games will face the #1 seeds from their conferences at 2 pm, while noon game losers will battle to be the best of the worst, our beloved Chumps, at 4 pm. Winners of the 2 pm games will face off in the Championship game on 8/14.
Due to extreme heat, The Jamboree today has been cancelled!
Stay safe & hydrated through this heat wave. For more information, here is a collection of tips and resources.
See you all on opening day July 10th!
When: June 5th 2 pm (tomorrow!)
Where: Pier Park
Why: Fun
Who: You
How: Carefully! Remember to hydrate & stretch, folks, it has been a while!
We are excited to return to the fields this year! We will be following recommended protocols to keep everyone safe, stay tuned for updates!
The season will run Saturdays from July 10th through August 14th. Get ready for the double headers!
A League-wide umpire clinic and pickup game(s) will kick off the season on Saturday, June 26th.
If you want to join in, contact us!
More information and season schedule coming soon.
