The sport of kickball was invented in 1877 by the brothers Ebenezer and Jessup Sundance on a typical October afternoon. The sun was high, the wind strong, and the crisp scent of the Trinity River was in the air. The stories about the actual moment of inspiration vary; from theories of Ancient Aliens, to a ambush by an angry armadillo, The truth may be forever lost in history but on that historic fall afternoon, kickball was born, and it has been a fixture of this great city ever since. Today, the importance of Eb and Jess' contribution lives on, as is evident by the 621 different kickball leagues scattered around Fort Worth.

Don't lie, we know you want revenge on that jerk who lined up across from you last season, the same one that always pegged poor Stacey in the face, or miraculously never left the court after getting hit. Yeah, us too, that's why we created a new type of dodgeball league, where the focus is on fun, exciting, fast paced games, in a more relaxed feeling league. If you've never played dodgeball before, you picked a great time to start, and a great league to join.

THE BEXLEY CUP The Bexley Cup is awarded to any team winning both indoor and outdoor national championships in the same season. The cup is named for the Bexley Reckers, the first to accomplish this feat. The Gramercy Riffs added their name to the cup when they won the Outdoor National Dodgeball Championships on July 27, 2002.

General Rules Each Match will be 15 minutes long. As many individual games will be played as possible within the 15 minute time limit. The winner of the overall match will be the team that wins the most individual games. Each game will consist of 3 females and 5 males (for a total of 8 players) playing against another team with the same numbers. There will be no forfeits for teams not having enough players, provided there is at least one team member present to play. If a team is short on players, they will play their scheduled match, but with less players than the other team.
