SUMMER PREVIEW: Sport & League Offerings
BARS SUMMER PREVIEW: SPORT & LEAGUE OFFERINGS
We’re in the final stages of locking down logistics for the upcoming summer seasons of all 4 sports: bowling, dodgeball, kickball, and pickleball. In the next week, we’ll send sport-specific e-blasts with full registration information. We wanted to tease our offerings now, however, so you can start planning! Please see below for a general outline of what our upcoming Big Apple Summer will look like!
In an effort to make our leagues more accessible and equitable for our players, we have multiple options for financial assistance: payment plans (for those wanting to pay over time) and discounted registration (for reduced league costs) are both available. Both options are outlined during the check-out process via Shopify registration. You can email executive-board@bigapplerecsports.com for more information.
And as a reminder, teams for our Open Leagues are available to players of all genders. Our WTNB+ Leagues are available for our Women, Trans, Non-Binary (WTNB+) community.View all
