I started playing with the Celtic Cowboys when the club founded Austin's first ladies Gaelic…read morefootball team in the fall of 2012. Ladies Gaelic football is an exciting, fast-paced field sport that has elements of soccer, basketball, and volleyball - it's both fun and challenging. Recruiting for the ladies Gaelic football team has really taken off, probably because we get a lot out of our regular training sessions and the game itself is a blast to play. We now have an active group of more than 30 women training with us twice a week (Tuesday evenings at Burr Field, 7 p.m., and Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m. at Zilker Park on the Great Lawn), under the direction of our certified Gaelic Atheltic Association coach. Our team has a lot of great athletes and also welcomes (and trains!) players with no prior experience in our sport. The Celtic Cowboys club also includes a men's Gaelic football team, a hurling team, and more than a dozen soccer teams (men's, women's, and youth). Off the field, it offers a variety of social events and community service projects throughout the year.

THIS IS A BLAST! So…read moreI was playing in another kickball league here in town (we'll call em WAKA) and it was one of the worst experiences I've had in a social sports community. So when I came to NAKID I was not expecting much different, but was stunned at how different and how much more fun I had! My team is the Awful Waffles which was a team in a different league, we were all so fed up with the competiveness of the other leagues. Where they cuss you out if you make a bad play, make a bad call as a ref, basically have no regard for sportsmanship, and to top it off the league is ran by douchebags.It was so refreshing to come to NAKID, its fun still competitive(in a good way) AWESOME TROPHYS, cute girls for you guys out there, as well as flip cup tournaments every week!!! (AHHH HEAVEN!!) You gotta give it a shot!

There are some business names that scream, "Try Me"! Like "G-spot Thrift Store",…read more "Bite Mi," "Mooseknuckle", or...NAKID Social Sports. Anyone who patronizes those businesses is bound to be the kind of person who doesn't take themselves or life too seriously. So, one star for the concept and creation of Austin's Chapter of NAKID and one star to the fun ppl I met during the 8 weekly showdowns of ball-kicking during the actual game and ass-kicking during the subsequent flip-cup games. The withheld stars speak to the management of the league, to the abundance of fluff in advertising, and lack of information given to players. The owner/mgr actually lives in DC and apparently that chapter does well--proof that actually being available during the games is a real bonus. Instead, he flies down for the first game to welcome everyone, for all of 15 minutes, and for the closing ceremonies of awarding the trophy. In between, he is not attentive during registration nor during the season. For example, Tshirt sizes requested were totally ignored...we got way too many smalls and not nearly enough medium and larges as ordered. We showed up for the first game, and I--a newbie--was dubbed Captain. NO rules, nada. Quickly downloaded the iphone ap. Presto, ready to go. There are other instances, but the most irritating was when he emailed to survey which of two given dates we wanted the playoffs. After the votes were in and the date set, he emailed to tell us that the date was being moved to a date (that didn't work for almost my entire team!) not before mentioned bc some players wanted to attend the UT football game. I'm an Orangeblood, but really....? As it turned out, many of us weren't able to attend the playoffs. Considering that many of the players were non-paying (solicited by NAKID friends so they'd have enough players to form a league), this was a rip-off. The fluff pertains to the amt of free alcohol that turned out to be quite limited. IF you are the reffing team that week, your team gets a $20 tab at Gibsons--not enough for one drink per player if all your players showed up. Our first trip into Gibson's found them surprised at our arrival. Apparently, there was no prior arrangement made and NAKID was assuming that last season's deals were still applicable. We ended up standing around until someone figured out what that arrangement was. by the way, Gibson's was fantastic about all this! The "partying" they advertised amounted to a bus trip for a winery tour, which looked fun for the 8 or so ppl who went. Too bad we weren't told about its impending possibility until too late. INcidentally, all 8 were from one team whose lead player picks up and brings the equipment to the games (an assistant? don't know, was never told--she is super nice though). As for information dissemination, they wanted us to sign up on meetup website, which I did. As a result, I got emails as well as meetup messages, almost none of which were redundant and yet neither one had full details. There was no go-to place for information. For ex, one week we showed up for the game to find no one there except for a few players from some other team (not our scheduled opponents). Apparently the games were moved to another field not in sight of where we were scheduled to play. A stroke of luck --contacting the roommate of one of the players in the know--got us to the correct fields and by the time games started, it was already becoming dark--not good for catching flying balls. IN kickball at least. I am glad to have experienced Gibson's (free, fun Bingo on Thurs nights), Luke's Inside Out (great food trailer), and Flip Cup (my college drinking game--quarters--is outdated). In sum, this league is not "a skid-mark on the underpants of society" (movie, Dodgeball), but I think I'd rather spend my time at Mooseknuckle, in my newly acquired hot pants from G-spot, playing Flip Cup and following it with nibbles at Bite Mi.

I've been part of this tennis league for about a year. I joined shortly after I started playing…read moretennis, and it's been a fantastic way to improve my game. You can schedule matches whenever it works for you, and it's nice that you can play as many matches as you'd like each season. The women's league in Austin is especially welcoming--everyone is friendly, helpful, and committed to helping each other get better. I've made a few close friends who share my love of tennis, and that sense of community keeps me coming back. As a newer player, I found it helpful that the league places you in a division based on your skill level, then moves you up if you start doing well. It keeps things challenging as you get better. On top of that, the league fees are reasonable, and the app is easy to use. If you're looking for a reliable way to meet other players, improve your skills, and have fun competing, I highly recommend giving this league a try.

I love Austin Social Sports Club! I have done the flag football here for about four years and…read moredefinitely like it here the best. With this league you have to wait until five seconds pass until you can rush the quarterback, which actually allows receivers to run downfield and to let the plays develop. Every third play is a gender play, which means both guys and ladies get involved in making the catches. The refs here also do a really good job, so shout out to Austin for making it happen with good calls on the field. It is a bit of a drive out to Del Valle, but the fields there are really nice and it's just a good vibe/environment. My fiancé & I have done several seasons of cornhole at Bouldin Acres, and have had a great time in that league too. We have also done their kickball league in the past which is also fun, and the 4s Sand Volleyball at Moontower is also a blast! Definitely recommend this league and they offer other sports too.

And to make things worse I had a really bad experience when I couldn't find my shirt. They wouldn't let me play and didn't offer any alternatives like buying another shirt on site so we had to forfeit the game which really sucked. I understand wearing the shirt is a rule but you have to have a way to work around issues that come up. And honestly it's pretty ridiculous that they only give you one shirt that you have to wear every week.

We've played in this league for four seasons, and unfortunately, things have only gotten worse. The…read moreBuda/Kyle or "South Austin" division has become completely disorganized and unsafe. Referees often don't ref, rules aren't enforced, and we witnessed multiple kids get hurt this past season. The whole point of flag football is non-contact play and teaching kids teamwork and rules -- but instead, the lack of oversight has made it chaotic and unsafe. When parents or coaches try to raise safety concerns, some referees become argumentative rather than taking accountability. If you value your child's safety, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere. We will no longer support this club until major changes are made, and I suggest other parents do the same.

They claim they cannot do the practices due to make up games for the rest of the season. There was only one practice and all the kids played street ball instead of real basketball during the games. My eight-year-old was in a 7 to 8 year-old league and ended up playing nine and 10-year-olds in the playoffs. The other team's kids were telling them their ages. You usually can see one or two kids in the entire league where you question their age. This team had five or six players that all looked over eight years old. I don't think this league checks ages or enforces them. It's pretty sad to allow a team to play down an age bracket just to win a championship.
