  that batter is deemed out.  No walks will be allowed.

Ok I'm signing up, what if I need to change my roster?
Roster changes are allowed up until the 3rd week of any Big D Sports season. Kickball rosters should never be larger that 16 people, but we suggest you carry 12 paid players. After the third week you can only modify your roster by applying for a special exemption due to injury or other weird/unfortunate occurrence. During registration, you will be given a roster. Rosters are due to the field coordinator before your first game. We will have rosters available at the field for changes. Playoff teams will only be able to use players that are on their roster.

What about my skill level?
This is coed recreational kickball.  All skill levels are welcome to participate.  Remember, this is a kids game!!!!

Cool I'm signed up, what about practices?
Some teams practice several times a week. Some don't practice at all. Unfortunately, Big D Sports does not provide practice time during the regular season on our fields. You are welcome to show up early and practice/warm-up on the side, or practice on your own.
