Spring 2017 Golden Lunchbox Kickball Tournament

Posted on June 5, 2017 by Coach Dan in Milwaukee, Milwaukee Kickball

Well, it all comes down to this for the 2017 Spring kickball season. The Golden Lunchbox kickball tournament marks the end of the regular kickball season, but one team will have its name engraved into MUSA lore for all generations to admire. OK, it might not be that serious, but it’s a fun way to put an nice bow on the end of the season.

WHO’S IN?

This season we’re looking for 16 teams, so all division winners/leaders and second place teams will be granted an auto-bid to the tournament. If a team declines their auto-bid, the bid will be thrown into the bid pool where the next best team from the “team pool” will be able to accept it. So… because there are still a few games to be played yet this week, things are very fluid for some divisions. If you find your team in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th place at this time, please start asking your teams if they’ll be accepting a bid if granted one. This list will not be finalized until Thursday night after all games and scores have been reported. Here’s the current list.

If your team is on this list, please let me know if your team is able to play or not. If you are great, if not and your team has an auto-bid, please let me know so I can pass it along to the next team inline for it. Email me at dan@musasports.com and make sure to include your team name.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The kickball tournament will be group play so all teams will get at least 3 games. The top 2 teams in each division will then advance to a single elimination tournament, with winners advancing to the championship game where the winner will be crowned champ and awarded the coveted Golden Lunchbox and some pretty col shirts. Second place will receive the Silver Thermos.

All games will be played at Wick fields, 2, 3, 4 & 5, and the tournament will start at 9:00am and run until about 5:00pm.

Teams will need to supply 1 field ump for assigned games. MUSA will take care of the homeplate umping duties, and during tournament day we’d like a second pair of eyes out there for extra help.

Schedule and groups will be emailed to captains on Friday.

Good luck to all teams!

Recent Updates: Player Profiles & Sub List

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Coach Dan in Kansas City, Madison, Milwaukee, Twin Cities

In a pretty large update to the MUSA website this week, our friends at Bracketpal have added the ability to create a Player Profile as well as add your name to a Sub List if you feel like testing the Free Agent Market. The demo video below explains how to use it and only takes a few minutes. You might want to turn the volume up because it is a bit soft or you can just read the brief summaries below.
*please note that the MUSA Basketball Gold (stats) league is still currently using the HomeTeamsOnline site for it’s stats.

Player Profile

It’s super easy to create a player profile and have the current and past season info right at your finger tips or mouse clicks. If your captain is slacking and hasn’t added you to the team roster yet, be sure to send them friendly reminders. Captains must first add players to teams before they show up for that season. Ideally rosters would carry over season to season cutting down on redundant work but that functionality might be for another update down the road. I have been told by the owner of Bracketpal that there’s a plan to make a “request to be on roster” function where all the captain would have to do is approve the request instead of typing player names, but no word on when that update will be released.

Don’t forget to upload an action shot of you doing what you do best.. whether it’s at the bar or at the field/court/course.

Sub List

The individual profile might come in handy if and when you feel like lending your services out on the newly created Sub List or… Free Agent Market as I like to refer to it. No matter what skill level, if you need a team this is the place to throw your hat into the ring. We’ve created full teams out of subs lists in the past and if we can do that again we will. We want as many people enjoying the MUSA experience as possible.
This just doesn’t have to be about the players either. Captains, if you’re looking for players it might be a good idea to check out the Sub List. No commitment necessary. You can easily filter your search to easily match your needs. Maybe you need someone to fill in for just one game… maybe it’s the whole season because you and your girlfriend broke up and now your team is short a female. Don’t take that Ghost Out or forfeit… use the Sub List.

Our Rejected Super Bowl Ad

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Coach Dan in Madison, Milwaukee, Twin Cities

OK, so we didn’t exactly submit it or even have over $7 million it would take to air the minute video, but there is a consolation. Considering it’s Valentine’s Day and after talking to our lawyers, they agreed we could post the video for all to enjoy anyway. So ladies… you’re welcome, enjoy and Happy Valentine’s Day from MUSA!

Thanks to the folks at Envy Creative for all the help in making this happen.

Milwaukee Summer Fun!

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Coach Dan in Milwaukee

Summer Kickball Enrollment

Time to get your teams geared up for the Summer session as Summer Kickball Enrollment is now online and ready for your team. Please get your forms in early as divisions tend to fill up fast and there’s usually a few teams that I have to turn away because they didn’t act fast enough. Don’t be one of those teams and gather your troops now! The more flexible your team is the better chance you have of playing because not everyone will get their first choice. Click here to get signed up and for more details!

Deadline for registration is June 5th

Season begins week of June 18th

Premium Draft Kickball

Along with the Summer team kickball we are also offering our Premium Draft Kickball League for individuals who are looking for some competitive kickball. Sign up by yourself or with another person, get drafted to a team and have a great time with some of the best players in the league.

In Premium we keep track of all your stats so you can see how you stack up with some of the best. It might sound a tad bit intimating for some but it’s really not. You’ll be surprised at how fun competitive kickball is. Sign up here!

If you don’t want to play but still want to help out, I was thinking about having full/part time umps for Premium Draft as well. I’ll be there umping, so looking only for 1 or 2 people to help out on a weekly basis. Contact me if interested.

Deadline and the Draft are on June 19th 7:00pm

Sunday Funday All-Star/Recess Tournament June 3rd – SAVE THE DATE

Once again we will be offering an All-Star Kickball Tournament for current Standard/Gold players of our Spring session. This of course will be a free tournament. I’ll be looking to captains to send me a few selections from your teams (2 , we can start with 2 male & 1 female to start. It’s possible we may need more. These players will then be placed on a team with other All Stars from other teams. Games will be played at Wick and format will depend on how many players we get.

There will also be a Recess Tournament for all current Recess teams. Format will depend on the number of teams. So if you are a current Recess team and want to compete against other Recess teams in a tournament format, let me know.

I’ll talk to O’Brien’s to see if we can get some good specials. More details to follow to current Spring 2012 captains.

Summer Putt-Putt

Walk the greens of 8 local Putt Putt courses as MUSA offers yet another fantastic summer league. “League”, as in, we do keep track of your scores and have a leaderboard. This will be our 9th season as 50+ players take to the links for various prizes and pure enjoyment. Some take it seriously, some don’t … no matter, it’s about fun with your friends. Enjoy 2 “Majors” and I believe most of the courses serve ice cream and even 1 serves beer. Schedule coming soon, and play begins June 25th so come on and join the ranks here!

We thank you for your participation! If you could please forward this email to some friends/teammates it would be greatly appreciated! Also, don’t forget to follow and like us on Twitter & Facebook. See the links below. Take care everyone and I hope to see you somewhere this Summer!

Welcome to the new website!

Welcome to the new and improved MUSA website. The goal of our redesign is to consolidate all the bits and pieces we have laying around into one central location for your unconventional – and some conventional – enjoyment. As of right now, it is a work-in-progress because we are a large organization, with sites spread out over many cities covering many different sports. We want MUSASports.com to be the only stop when it comes to the unconventional sports association you love so much, no matter where you are or what sport. This update will be an ongoing process as we transition all the information to the new design, but in the end, it will all be worth it. We promise. Thank you for your patience and your passionate support of MUSA. Stay tuned for more updates.
