Spring is in the air! Baby chicks are hatching and shaking the icicles off their tail feathers. Flowers are blooming… freezing, wilting and blooming. Bunny rabbits are putting on their warmest fur coats. All signs point to kickball being just around the corner!

And it is! Check it out, the Schedule has been posted. http://dckickball.org/adamsmorgan

Take special note of Weeks 3 & 6. These are the two cross-over weeks. Your team will be playing on the opposite night of the week on one of these two weeks. (e.g.,The Kickbrawlers are a Wednesday night team, but they play one game this season on Monday during Week 3).

Ref Clinic

As each team expects their games to be officiated by competent refs, it’s important that each team provide competent refs. Hence, a ref clinic.

Date & Time: 6:30 pm on April 11th (an hour before the Pre-Season Party kicks-off at Grand Central)

Location: Walter Pierce Park – The circular patch of grass overlooking the fields (next to the basketball courts)

Each team must have at least 4 refs attend the Ref Clinic. Captains, please coordinate with your team members. If 4 of the designated refs on your team cannot make it to the ref clinic, please e-mail me and and I’ll provide you with details for a 2nd (make-up) ref clinic. Even if you have reffed in DCK before, it’s important that you attend, as a couple of rules have changed. The attendance of captains and co-captains is highly encouraged.

Get ahead of the curve and check out the rules before the Ref Clinic at http://www.dckickball.org/rules

E-mail me with any questions. Now get out there and enjoy this warm and sunny Spring weather!
