Buffalo Kickball... what else?


"We want at least 6, hopefully 10 or 12. Teams must consist of at least 10 members, at least 4 of which must be female. This is a co-ed league and you can't send a field full of bros out there."
Steve has already started a MySpace page and a Facebook page dedicated to the effort, so if you are a member of either of those sites, be sure to conduct a search for more info. We'll keep you posted on the 'where' and 'when' once he has found enough teams. For more info, or to tell Steve that you're interested in fielding a team, just send an email here. Or check out the new forum dedicated to the league.
Also, if you are aware of any other city sport leagues that exist and are looking for members, please leave a comment. We should have a post together shortly on an Ultimate Frisbee league... how 'bout some info on volleyball, tennis, softball, etc.?
And don't forget to join the Buffalo Rising Facebook group next time you're visiting.

As some may know, the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society’s museum building was the NYS pavilion during the Pan-American Exposition. Sitting in the exact same place as it always has in the museum building is the Steinway & Sons grand piano, custom-built 107 years ago for the exposition. Stephen Baker, the BPO’s Associate Executive Director, will bring the grand piano to life at “Music for a Sunday Afternoon” on Sunday, July 6.
Baker comes from California and has ha …
Can anyone tell me why the vast number of cafés and restaurants in the city do not recycle? I’m actually having a hard time coming up with more than a couple that do. I am constantly walking back to the cash registers with papers and plastics asking where the recycle bins are. And I’m repeatedly told that there is no recycling policy in place. That means that the only way to recycle is to do it yourself… and who wants to carry papers and plastics around with them until they …
One of the things that I really enjoy at the Thursday at the Square concert series is watching all of the young people congregate on Main Street. Last evening I found out that there is a new policy in place that forbids these kids from hanging out near Lafayette Square. From what I understand, a couple of fights broke out last Thursday and a shop window got broken. I can understand that there should be a concern when these incidents happen, but shooing everyone away because a coup …
After the 2006 October snowstorm, Re-Tree WNY was established with the goal to restore the 8400 trees that were destroyed in Buffalo during the October 2006 storm. Re-Tree WNY has been gradually climbing towards their goal with 2,730 trees currently planted in Buffalo and a plea for organizations to join Re-Tree WNY during their planting this November of 2,000 trees.
Even if you're not a member of an organization, Re-Tree WNY is encouraging individuals who would like to plant …

There is at least one current co-ed kickball league in WNY. M/ILE hosts it (8 teams in the league this year) and I believe they host a variety of other recreational sport leagues as well.

Courtney - thanks for the info on M/ILE Sports - I've never heard of them. It looks like their kickball has already started at this point (stated May 19th). I would suggest checking out WAKA, World Adult Kickball Association. This organization runs a great program that in Washington, DC, and it looks like they're trying to start a league in Buffalo, http://www.kickball.com/ - "NY Wings Division games will be held every Tuesday night from 6:00 - 9:00 PM beginning June 24, 2008 at Front Park in Buffalo."
