The time has come once again to leave your Big League shirt at home and pull out your favorite (or least favorite) ugly sweater. Holiday Kickball is back!
Every November, Big League Sports squeezes one last kickball season in before the year comes to an end. But this isn't your typical season... Holiday Kickball season brings you six weeks of themed games, cheerful competition, unforgettable memories, and some of the most entertaining moments you'll see on a kickball field all year.
First up: The Turkey Bowl! Imagine showing up to the field wearing a turkey hat, only to discover that everything you know about kickball has gone out the window. Running the bases the right way only to find out you're actually wrong? Absolutely. Forgetting which base you're supposed to throw to? It happens. And crossing home plate without shouting "GOBBLE GOBBLE!"? You might as well have not run at all! The Turkey Bowl is famous for its hilarious rule changes and the on-field chaos that follows. Just remember: when the rules change, all bets are off!
Did someone say Banana Ball? This themed week that made its debut last holiday season and sparked Tuesday night's shift is coming back! Inspired by the outrageous rules and nonstop entertainment of the Savannah Bananas, this special week puts a new spin on the game we all know and love. With one point per inning scoring, the golden kicker, and trick plays available, this game truly isn't over until the final out!
Next, it's time for the Secret Santa Switch-Up Tournament! Ever wonder what it would be like to play alongside someone from another team? This is your chance! Players are randomly assigned to new teams for a one-day tournament where teammates become strangers, strangers become teammates, and everyone has a shot at taking home the ultimate prize. Every player on the winning team earns a special trophy, giving everyone one more reason to bring their A-game!
Of course, all that fun wouldn't be complete without plenty of time on the field. Although Holiday Kickball lasts just six weeks, most weeks feature doubleheaders, making it one of Big League's most game-packed seasons. And when the regular season wraps up, the excitement continues with Joy to the Championship - a Super Saturday postseason celebration where teams battle for the title, a unique championship trophy, and medals to commemorate the victory.
But what really makes Holiday Kickball special isn't just the themed weeks or the ugly sweaters...it's the people. This is one of Big League's most social leagues and a unique opportunity for our Stamford and Westchester communities to come together, meet new teammates, and make memories that last well beyond the holiday season.
Haven't experienced Holiday Kickball yet? Consider this your invitation! Grab your teammates, dust off that ridiculous sweater, and join us for the most wonderful (and wonderfully chaotic) kickball season of the year. Who knows? You might just find your new favorite Big League tradition!

Anyone who has been in Big League Sports long enough knows that this is a great week to be a superstar!
Wearing costumes to the field is highly encouraged, and yes, also rewarded! This season you can earn BIG in two ways. First: if you wear a costume on the field, you get an extra raffle ticket at the after party. Second: if your whole team wears a costume to the field (and sends in a photo), you'll earn one run in your game next week!
But the spooky spirit doesn't end on the field! ALL Big League Superstars (and yes, I mean ALL) are invited to come out to the after party in your costume to celebrate! There will be prizes, giveaways, and the annual costume contest! Costume contest winners will receive a free season!
