weeknight sports anyone?

[blandeena]

bubbleplastic has been a member of austin sports and social club for quite awhile, and it sounds fun! I wanna join, anyone want to join anything with me? I'm specifically looking at either soccer(Tues nights) or softball(Thurs nights). The games start anywhere between 6:30-9:30, and there are happy hours afterward if needed. There's also dodgeball, but that

See, traditionally that's how you'd get out of shape alcoholics like myself to join into team sports ;) Too funny :D

[blandeena]

Hehe, I'm willing to bet there are a bunch of out of shape alcoholics involved in this organization!

I'd like to, but I've just piled on a whole bunch of stuff for this summer:
1) Volunteering at Casa Marianella
2) Volunteering at RFB&D
3) Singing lessons
4) iSchool kickball team (Dublin Hardcore...it's a librarian joke...and yes, our numbers will be our favorite Dewey Decimal section)
5) 2 summer classes
6) Training for the triathlon.

I will totally come watch you play sometime... post about game times!

busy, busy, busy!!!

I would totally be down for soccer but question: do I need to be a kick ass player or will my team completely shun me?

[blandeena]

Hehe, it sounds like the point is more social than sports. I don't think most people are super stars. I know I'm horrible at both softball and soccer, all I can do is run. The parts that require coordination: not so much.

[gudenna]

Awesome, I can run!

Do you think there is a way to sign up for the same team?

What does Claire play?

[bubbleplastic]

I have played softball, kickball and wiffleball pretty much non stop for a year, the current season is the first season I've taken a break. I might sign up for softball this next season, not sure yet.

I've made several really good friends through doing it, and I've also been on a couple of teams that sort of sucked - but the games were fun anyway so it didn't matter too much.

Can I show up just for the drinkin'?

I like the concept, but any sport that involves a ball gives me terrible school flashbacks.
