Register for Spring Skeeball Leagues in Ballston

New Skeeball leagues are starting in Ballston this Spring. Games will play Tuesday nights at Carpool (near the Ballston and VA Square metro stations). Plus, it's just $30 to register for you early birds.

Registration is also available at http://dcsocialsports.com/leagues/skeeball/3932

You know what we need more of in life? Skeeball! You know we need to learn more about online? Skeeball! You know what game does not have enough online articles about it? Skeeball! Yes, the answer is always Skeeball.

Skeeball is potentially one of the greatest games ever created. It is similar to bowling, but on a much smaller scale. Even if you are not athletic (like me) you can play Skeeball like a champ. Skeeball machines are typically located in all arcades. It is an especially popular game at amusement parks and boardwalks.

The premise of the game is simple. You put a quarter in the slot, then a group of balls the size of a baseball roll out. You simply roll the balls one by one, similar to bowling, and you try to get each ball in a hole. Each hole is worth a specific amount of points depending on its location. The amount is anything from 10 points to 100 points.

Skeeball is an extremely addictive game since it is so simple. It always seems like the next roll will be "the big win" which is why you keep pumping the quarters into the machine. People of all ages play this game. Who needs to gamble with the slots in Atlantic City when you walk down the boardwalk and play Skeeball instead?

DC Social Kickball Constitution Registration Now Open!

Kickballers and DC Social Sports Players:

The DC Social Kickball Constitution Division Board is pleased to announce that registration for the Spring 2012 Season is now officially open! We know you've missed kickball. We are here to help. Games will continue to be played on the Washington Monument Grounds on Sundays beginning at 2PM. The seven week plus playoffs season begins April 15 and should end on June 10 if there are no rain out dates. Should a rain out date occur it is the plan to extend the season to make up for the lost season. If that occurs, we promise the season will not extend beyond June 24. We'll not be playing on the rain-out date for the Kite Festival, Easter, Memorial Day, or in July. Isn't that nice?

Of course, when you register for kickball you are not just registering for a sport. We plan so many social events its silly. We'll definitely have the kickoff and end of season parties, but that's not all. You'll also have access to such great events like the April 28 DC United Tailgate and the June 2 DC Social Flip Cup Tournament. These events are all available to you for free or a reduced cost. Our social events are posted to DC Social Sports' Facebook Page. DC Social Kickball also has a Facebook Page. Like both those pages to ensure you are aware of all the social events! February 25 Beer Olympics, anyone? When we plan social events, we mean business. Just ask anyone that's been on the Booze Cruise. (And yes, that will be back too)

Early bird registration for this season is only $45! This fee includes 8 game guarantee (7 regular season games, plus at least one play-off game), all equipment, DC Social t-shirt (if registration before t-shirt deadline), and access to DC Social parties at no or reduced coverage charges. Registering early has its benefits. It lets us, your party planners, estimate our budget so we can plan the kick-ass parties you expect. It lets you get a shirt without having to pay a premium, and if you register after March 1 the fee jumps to $55!

We have a great season planned for you all. We hope you all will come back. We've missed you, and we hope you've missed us. So create a team, register as a free agent, or request to be in a group today! The season starts April 15, don't delay! Should you have any questions, comments or concerns about this season or seasons past please let your Spring 2012 Constitution Division President David 'Lefty' Murnan (david@chasekickballs.com) know! We are looking forward to a great spring season! Festivities start with the St Practice Day Bar Tour on March 10, 2012 in Clarendon. Your President and Board will be there, you should plan to be there too. Out with the CHASE, in with the DC Social! It's going to be great!

Washington DC's Biggest Holiday Bar Crawl

Arlington Dodgeball is More than Ducking and Dodging

Dodgeball.  It's the sport you either loved or dreaded since childhood.  Now it's back with a vengence.  Join the DC Social Sports Club - Arlington every Tuesday night for weekly matches.  Teams of 8 will face each other on the court in a best-of-9 format.  Just remember, the last man (or woman) standing risks facing a firing squad loaded with foam balls.

OCCUPY BALLSTON (Mall Crawl) - November 19

Register by November 7 to ensure that you get your limited edition shirt.

Want to Occupy something but don't want to live in a smelly tent city? Then exercise your constitutional right to consume beer (bless you, 21st Amendment) and let beer occupy you. Join us for BMC3. 

Beginning at 4:00pm, “We the People” will begin congregating “to form a more perfect union” at Ballston’s First Down Bar.

At 5:00pm, we head towards the Mall to demand our rights be restored. Because it is a long two blocks to our staging area, we will make a quick stop at Front Page to quench our thirst and rest our weary feet.

But, beginning at 6:00pm, we will descend on the Mall, returning to hallowed venues such as Chevy’s, Bailey's, Shiki Sushi (Sake Bombs!), and Rock Bottom Brewery; and then will end our March at Union Jack's, where we will occupy the dance floor.

Registration will be available soon. $20 gets you access to the kickoff keg, a limited-edition t-shirt, a coveted Sake Bomb, and access to drink specials just for our group. 

And don't forget. We're in a Mall. Beer goggles getting you down? Check out LensCrafters. Drunk dial that special someone, one too many times? Check out American Greetings for an apology card. And don’t forget those Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works coupons you’ve been hoarding – we know that it takes work to make protesting look this good – and sometimes you just got to shop.
