KICKBALL LEAGUEThe Chattanooga Sports Leagues’ co-ed kickball league is taking signups for its summer league now. Games are on Thursdays starting July 10 and will conclude with championships Sept. 4. Also this summer, the CSL is offering a Sunday co-ed adult kickball league for the first time. The season will run from July 13 through Sept. 14. Anyone interested in entering a team or inquiring about joining a team should contact CSL director Tommy Travers by July 7. Call or text 423-521-2751 or email sports@playcsl.com

Whether you get a kick out of winning, a kick out of socializing, or just a kick out of kicking something, adult kickball may be the thing for you.

Co-ed adult kickball is currently one of eight sports being offered by an organization called the Chattanooga Sports Leagues. And it’s rapidly becoming one of its most popular.

Twenty-two teams competed in the spring season, which concluded Tuesday at the Rivermont ballfields complex. Ballsagna needed extra innings but capped a 10-0 season by winning the A-division title.

“I’ve got the battle wounds to prove it,” Ballsagna first baseman Asa Shirley said.
