01/03 - Fowling Leagues and Learn to Play Happy Hour

We are always looking for new sports to try out and in our search we found fowling! Fowling is a combination of football and bowling and sweeping the nations by storm…or soon to be. To introduce our new fowling leagues at the Fowling Warehouse, we hosted a learn-to-play fowling happy hour where all participants learned the rules, played some warmup games, and then put their new skills to the test in a fun social tournament! This awesome event resulted in 16 teams signing up for our first-ever fowling league. We are excited to keep growing our Fowling leagues and events every season and continue our amazing partnership with the Fowling Warehouse! 

Join us for one of our next Fowling Learn to Play Happy Hours, sign up for a league, or just check out the Fowling Warehouse with some of your friends!

11/30 - Centurions Murder Mystery Party

We were thankful to the Centurions Leadership Program for letting us put on an awesome murder mystery party! The Centurions brought out some got-together to connect in a unique and fun way that got everyone involved. Members were given a role and encouraged to dress to their part! With a 1988 High School Reunion team, this murder mystery party was a night of mystery and mayhem intertwined with rivalries from the past that spill over to the present. You’ll have but one night to figure it out and bring the killer to justice. Get ready for a night of mystery and mayhem intertwined with rivalries from the past that spill over to the present. At Murder High, it’s not only what you were, but what you’ve become. And let’s hope it’s a survivor.

Hopefully you like it! If you have suggestions please email and let us know. 

Combined Downtown & South

No more going to kccrewdowntown.com or kccrewsouth.com looking for leagues, schedules, free agents, and more.

Now there’s one system for all KC Crew leagues around Kansas City.

It's our birthday & we'll party if we want to

10 years! We can’t believe it’s been 10 years since we first started a softball league at Penn Valley Park and a zombie crawl in Martini Corner. 

Throughout all these years tens of thousands of you have supported and played with us many, many times. To thank you, we are throwing a 10 year birthday party with prizes and gifts to our top players and captains across the past decade as well as surprises for all. You won’t want to miss this party. Make sure to sign up for our event list to get updates!

We also launched a brand new, 10 years of awesomeness league shirt design for all of 2022! 

Futsal

Since the beginning, we’ve had softball and sand volleyball leagues every single year. Along the way we’ve added more socially fun activities such as kickball, cornhole, karaoke, pickleball, and golf. 

We’ve been known as the recreational, beer league until 3 years ago when we took over basketball leagues in Overland Park and have grown to the largest and most competitive basketball leagues in Kansas City. 

Now that we’ve figured out how to keep the awesomeness in highly competitive sports, say hello to Futsal leagues.

New Events

We are refining our event offerings to keep creating awesomeness in Kansas City as we have the past 10 years with our End of the World zombie Pub Crawl, 0.5k Underachiever’s Run and monthly cornhole tournaments.

In addition to our existing events you can look forward to more fun golf tournaments, Distilled Tastings (whiskey, tequila, and gin) , a mud volleyball tournament,  Easter Egg Hunt, Adult Field Day, the Reindeer Games, and more.
