Welcome to NWA Kickball
Where CHAMPIONS Play!
 Home of 2012 Senior Division State Champions!
Celebrating 35 years of exceptional youth sports!

 Important information...

NWA to be Eagle Scout Beneficiary:  NWA will once again be the beneficiary of an Eagle Scout project.  Matthew Schmidt, the older brother to Senior player Catherine Schmidt of team Havoc, is an Eagle Scout Candidate whose project will focus on mitigating the often muddy areas outside the Rookie & Junior fields. Anyone who's attempted to get to the dugout or bleachers on the Junior field following a springtime shower knows all to well what a challenge this can be.  And, unfortunately, the rains tend to have a lasting effect in this area!  This spring we've had plenty of examples of the problem. This is a problem that NWA has wanted to address for several years but due to the expense and other priorities has been unable to complete.  Click here for more info about the initiative and how you can help...

Perspective...The tragic events that occurred in Utah this past week are sobering reminders that some people take youth sports way too seriously!  Kids are without their father tonight because of the rash actions taken by a player angered by an official’s call.  This is an extreme example of youth sports being taken too far, yet variations of this happen right here on our own kickball fields.

Electricity was in the air on Monday night!  The atmosphere at NWA on Monday night was electrified not only by the dark clouds building to the South, but also by the outstanding games that were played across all fields!  Two undefeated Senior teams went head-to-head and battled to a 2-1 extra inning game during the early time slot and later in the evening, a couple of very competitive Teenage games tried to keep pace with a Junior Division 1-0 juggernaut!  But more importantly, all the players walked off the field with members of the teams they just played not only as competitors, but as friends, neighbors and classmates!  It should help remind us all what NWA kickball and youth sports is all about!  Thanks to all who helped create such an exciting environment and for supporting these young ladies and NWA!

Team Photo Schedule updated:  Team Picture schedule has been updated. Photos are scheduled to be taken on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (4/22-24). Contact Irene Brown for more information. The schedule is available here for your convenience. 

PW-RK CHEER KAMP UPDATE:  In the words of our maker of merriment Tobin Holden, "That was a hoot!"  The 5th Annual NWA PW-RK Cheer Kamp came and went like the clouds on Saturday.  In addition to the standard Cheer Kamp activities, this year we incorporated separate skills competitions into the event for both PeeWees and Rookies and all seem to have a blast!  We had Toss Across Texas throwing, Kick it to the Alamo kicking, Strike it Rich pitching and Run like the Wind base running.  All the players along with our willing big sisters helped fill the day with fun in the sun.  We'll be tallying the scores and so we can award an End of Season Party to the top PeeWee and Rookie teams.  Thanks to all who participated and to those who helped make the day a HUGE success!  Nobody does it better than NWA!  NWA!  All the Way!...

Week 1 wraps up!  In some regards it seems the natural order of Spring has been restored!  The grass is green.  Trees and flowers are in bloom!  Deer are ever present around the fields and leaving small little reminders here and there!  Rain has disappeared from the forecast!  And the sounds of cheering kickball players rumble over the the hills and through the valleys of Northwest Austin!  Kickball has returned to the fields at Murchison after far too long an absence!  Back are the bright colors, bouncing balls and pony tails that dot the landscape around NWA each week during the springtime!  You can just smell the kickball in the air!  Welcome back home everyone!

Game Schedule updated!  The complete 2013 Game schedule is now posted on the website! It includes the Concessions Coverage schedule for the season. Remember that a change in your team's game schedule does not change your concessions responsibilities!  Click here to view.

Opening Day 2013!  Although things got off to a chilly start on Saturday morning, the cool, overcast day did not dampen the spirit or enthusiasm of the players, coaches and parents (although some scorekeepers had trouble holding on to their pencils!).  It was a great day and a great way to work off the rust that surely set in since the end of the 2012 season!  It was great to see so many familiar faces, young and old, as well as the many newcomers to the league.  While today was only a warm up activity to get the kickball juices flowing, it appears that we're in store for another great season - what better way to celebrate the 35th year of NWA Kickball!  Thanks to all who participated in making today happen!

Sponsorship still available!  THANK YOU to all who have signed up to be an NWA Sponsor!  While we have filled ALL team sponsorship opportunities for 2013, we still have a number of options for sponsors to get involved!  NWA Kickball is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization meaning any sponsorship or donation is tax deductible in accordance with IRS guidelines.  See our Sponsorship page for general information or request specific information by e-mailing us at  info@nwakickball.com.

2013 LMK State All Star Tournament - Planning underway! 
The LMK Corporation Board awarded the 2013 State All Star Tournament to the leagues of District IV. As such, NWA, UHO, CAK and NET are working together to plan and host this event in our Capitol City. NWA will be the host site of the tournament with support from CAK, NET and UHO.
  Planning is well underway and all the LMK member Leagues are getting excited about making the trek to Austin in July! So spread the word and get ready to play host to nearly 700 players plus their coaches and families.  We will need many, many hands to help with the planning and execution of the tournament - so get ready!  We know that NWA, UHO and NET families are up for the challenge!
