Softball? Flag Football? Ice or Roller Hockey? Basketball?
Tell us where you are playing and keep us updated on your season. I play softball for Cobra Kai in Arlington Heights , our season officially starts May 10th, but we are playing a tournament in Carol Stream on April 29th. Getting pretty excited to start playing, we have been practicing for the last month. |

I'm doing an all sports league in the city starting in June. It includes basketball, softball, dodgeball, flag football and volleyball. I'm pumped, should be a blast.

It'll be interesting considering all my high school friends might as well be 45 instead of 25 so we will have injuries galore, guaranteed I'm the only one not hurrt by the time this thing is over. No matter what I'm just excited to play football and bball again in a league setting. |

Our team finished the regular season about as average as possible: Won dodgeball 3rd place in the volleyball tourny Lost flag football Lost basketball Won softball Won volleyball Lost flag football Playoffs start next week with basketball. Despite being ridiculously average through the regular season if we can get by bball next week(only one of our girls and myself have ever really played basketball competitively before) I think we can win the whole thing. |

Since I'm out for the softball season after my surgery, I have been going to watch my old team play.
They were in the semifinals last Thursday and the thing I hate about this league happened. The team they played, they had beaten twice in regular season, but for the playoffs, the other team showed up with 3 ringers who didn't play one game with them in the regular season. The 3 guys the replaced sat on the bench and never stepped foot on the field or took an AB. Bush league. You can do roster checks but the club charges $50 and if you lose, the club keeps the money, so its not even worth it. One of the ringers hit a 3 run walk off in the 9th inning. I would have been furious if I was playing. |

Even my co-ed social bowling league has roster rules in place to prevent ringers. Someone actually brought a ringer to the playoffs a few years ago. |
