WAIT YES THERE IS! Presented by Robby Clark Our playing fields are run by the Murray Hill Athletic Association so we need to pay close at-tention to their rules to ensure we will have fields to play on for the season. Pets: Pets are not allowed at the park. Please make plans to keep your pets at home or we will have to ask you and your pet to leave. Beverages: Alcoholic beverage containers are not allowed at the park at any time, this includes the fields & parking lots. No glass containers or bottles of any kind are allowed on the fields. Coolers, Funnels, Kegs and Party Balls or anything that seems fun are not allowed on the fields. You are required to keep all beverages in bubba kegs, thermos bottles, solo cups, or anything that cannot be seen through. Clear colored or see through cups are not allowed, please purchase solid colored solo cups. Anyone in violation of the beverage policy will be asked to leave the premises and may be suspended for the remainder of the season. Please do not be the guy/gal walking in with a case of beer wrapped in a plastic bag or something. That is NOT ok. Other Activities: Due to general safety and liability reasons; no other sports may be played at a WAKA permitted field just prior to or during the games. That means no tossing a football around or kicking a soccer ball etc. Fireworks: Absolutely no fireworks of any kind are allowed on or near our fields.

FIELDS WILL BE ROTATED EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS TO PRESERVE THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN GRASS WE PLAY ON
WEEK 1 Schedule
1. Recess Renegades The champs of Summer Action League are back and at it again. The good news for them, the other semi-finalists have bowed out giving them what might look like an easier path to the championship. There are 6 other squads who would beg to differ though. First up is the Preseason #2, Harley s. Ain t that some $#!%!? 2. Harley's Final Ride They might have underwhelmed last go round, but they re back for a one last lap around the action league track. Experience and tenacity gives them the nod over the other squads. Hopefully, they start out strong and don t embarrass the Power Rankers like they did last season. The defending champs are the first to face the last lappers. 3. Helicopter Kicks Who doesn t enjoy pantsless party tricks? Pretty much every girl who has seen a guy try to helicopter. Regardless, the late entry to the Friday night party looks to have a solid squad that is worth taking note of. The purple parrots will be the first to test the newcomers, but there are some seasoned vets who know what happens when the moon comes out. POWER RANKINGS 4. Purple Parrots Seriously?! Legends of the Hidden Freaking Temple?! This team should be ranked #1 on style points alone. Why doesn t the entire league buy into this theme? Is it too late for everyone to change their names? P-squared will start their season off against Helicopter Kicks which could go a long way in defining the season ahead. Can they make Olmec proud? 5. Dirty Dahlias How can you not love double-ds? With a decent blend of vets and talented newcomers, they look to try to carve out an opportunity to play for the golden kickball. They kickoff the summer season with a double-header against a team with a thing for pain maybe in the early game and then another who seems to have uncertainty over what sport they were playing. 6. Slap Me on the Patio Not sure that inviting or suggesting violence is a great idea, but it s their face. We here at the Power Rankings do not condone violence and in fact are practitioners of pacifism, but this is the land of the free and you have the right to do whatever makes you happy. They ll face Dirty Dahlias in the early going. 7. We thought this was Softball Well, it s not. This is kickball and in case you weren t aware, kickball is life. Either way, crushing balls into the outfield is still a good thing along with solid baserunning skills. This team will get their crash course in leg softball when they face Dirty Dahlia s for the second game of their opponent s 2 game stretch.
