Kickball isn't just for school kids anymore!!

So I joined a kickball team with Julie when I first moved out here, and it is AWESOME! I play with a group of people Julie worked with at Tavern on the Beach (a very popular bar in Pacific Beach). We play every sunday for a league called Vavi. We are actually not very good and we lose alot but we have so much fun doing so that no one really cares. We have a few players that get really into it and they have almost fought other teams!! I have made some great friends on the team and it takes me back to when I used to play competative sports. We all have nicknames for eachother (mine has to do with my chest...of course) and usually hang out after the game is over for what we call "sunday funday" which usually involves margaritas, lunch and then taking our beach cruisers to Mission Beach. It's funny because everywhere you go in PB everyone knows about the kickball teams and some of the teams we have actually become friends with. It is nice to have something so fun and active to do on sunday's and I love the fact that I making new friends and becoming a better athlete while I am at it (hahaha)...here are some pics of my team, we have been together for two sseasons and hopefully there are more to come!!

Terminology and Rules of the grand game of kickball:

munt = a man bunt...very girly but will get you on base

safety base = the orange base beside the regular base that the runner is supposed to tag so not to hurt the other player

ball = instead of a stike if the big red ball bounces in too much it's ball

game face = the face Victor (our coach) wants us to use when we go up to kick

You can throw the ball at someone while they are running and if you hit them they are automatically out.

If you kick the ball and it fouls out over the fence you are automatically out.

If you kick the ball foul three times you are out.

You can drink in the dugout if you conceal it (trust me their are alot of people drinking mimosas/tequila sunrises out of a gatorade cooler at 10 am...they are the best teams to play!!)

The umpire and half your team are usually hungover at the game so it can make for some interesting calls....
