Team Sports

The Basics

Take your crew out to the kickball game with organized adult team sports in throughout the Little Rock metro. You can get in on soccer, volleyball, softball, basketball, flag football, kickball and even an annual dodgeball tournament.
The games are familiar enough — the same you played all those years ago in P.E. — and there’s a spot for everyone. You can expect same-sex and co-ed teams with players of all adult ages, meaning you could find yourself squaring off against a colleague or an old college roommate.
When selecting a team sport program, it is important to pay attention to the relative skill level to which the league is geared. Some programs break out competitive from recreational to give you some idea of who you’ll be competing against — but not always. Make the wrong choice and you could find yourself in hot water with your teammates.
