Or possibly, it was a combination of all these things complete with the new friends we've made thanks to this journey. Old friends, new friends. Young friends, Old friends. Whatever the case, Monday night's have never been so much fun! Team IcyHots started out a smattering of friends, acquaintances, yelpers, complete strangers....a few short weeks later, we're teammates, friends, WINNERS! But to tell you the truth, even if we'd lost every single game, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference. WAKA rules!

He's a handsome fella who has big plans for Trapped in the Closet. (I also love R. Kelly).

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!

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.

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.

The balls don't hurt at all when they hit you but I leave super sweaty so I know it's a great workout! It was also really fun to meet new people.

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.

They are hard core about getting you to a level you never knew existed, yet fun loving and very team spirited at the same time. The coaches are awesome and I feel like I have gained so much from training with them. If you are just a beginner at triathlons or an experienced triathlete, this is a group that embraces people of all levels and goals. There are people of all ages and ranges that train for the sprint, olympic, half ironman, and ironman distances. I started back in April of 2008, with their swim clinic. Yea, I could swim..maybe doggie paddle swim a couple 50 meters or so, but I REALLY didn't know HOW to swim. They taught me how to do it efficiently, with proper technique. 1 year ago I couldn't swim one length of Barton Springs without freaking out or hyperventilating. Swimming was the only thing keeping me from competing in a triathlon...but here I am now training for a half ironman. Yes I knew how to run..yes I had a bike, but really I didn't know how to put all the pieces together. With them, you have coaches to help you, teammates to push you along the way and give you advice, and practices that will kick your ass. Another great thing about the group is that they have a very flexible training schedule that can work for anyone and everyone. They have swim practices everyday (morning, lunchtime, and night), they have spin class 3 times a week at different times, they have track and run practice 3 times a week as well. On weekends there are group long rides and runs. You don't have to be a triathlete to join, many people train in all 3 sports, 2 sports or even just 1 pf the sports. The skies the limit with flexibility. If you are looking for a triathlon group to train with, this is IT. I don't mean to sound like this is some marketing ploy, because it's not. This is the real deal, and I am willing to put the smack down on anyone that chooses to challenge this review, because T3 is absolutely, positively THE shit.

Eastside Paddle is a fantastic indoor court located right off Airport Boulevard in East Austin…read more It's pretty similar in structure to most other courts where you can both walk in or reserve. We're not too sure how busy it gets here but would still recommend reserving anyways. The parking lot out front is pretty tiny but we got lucky with a spot, just expect to circle once or twice if needed. The inside is very nice and so was the front desk person. Reserving was a tad tricky online but check-in was a breeze. They do offer both indoor and outdoor courts so keep that in mind when you book for options sake. The courts themselves are great. Very clean and well maintained with a side area for bags or anything you don't want on your person. The whole vibe of this place is very Austin, in a good way. They have an upstairs area where it looks like you can hang out as well as ping pong tables out front. This feels like a very community driven place if we've ever seen one. Eastside Paddle Club is a great place to reserve a court and play some pickleball and if not for living up near The Domain this would probably be our go to spot. If you're in the East Austin area and unsure about where to start your pickleball journey then look no further. This is the place to go!
