Our Story

LI-Kick is Long Island's premier and largest provider of co-ed adult social sports. Our mission is to positively transform the social fabric on Long Island. With the support of our incredible team, we are doing everything we can to make that happen by living and playing up to the following goals and values:

Take Fun Seriously

Providing fun is serious business. We work hard and care immensely about intentionally creating the best social sports organization possible.

More than a Sports League

LI-Kick is not about winning games. We exist to allow people to meet, have fun, be active, get involved, find community, and form lasting connections off the field

Best Decision Ever

We'll know we've succeeded in our goal when someone tells us that joining LI-Kick was the 'best decision ever'

Live it, Love it

Our team members are effective because they are active members who wholeheartedly believe in the mission of LI-Kick, and have personally benefited from their involvement

Citius, Altius, Fortius

The original Olympic motto, 'Faster, Higher, Stronger', drives us to pursue continual improvement, to provide more to our players, and for perpetual growth

Remember your First Day

Never forget 'why' someone joins a social sports league, and never forget the impact you can have on a new player's trajectory.

How It Started

A Message from Our Founder, Sal Farruggia

I started LI-Kick in April of 2013 after graduating college and moving back to Long Island. I was seeking more than the 9-5 grind and I found myself missing the friendships, connections, revelry and nightlife that came so easy in college but was now difficult to find.

What started as an 8-team Kickball league has grown into Long Island’s premier provider of Adult Social Sports. I have met a ton of people, made a lot of friends and have more fun now than I ever had at any college party.

I'm on a mission to positively transform the social lives of those living on Long Island and am doing everything I can possibly do to make that happen. Join us next season! It may change your life and it will definitely make my mom proud.

Seasons

We run our sport programs year-round on a six season calendar with new seasons starting every odd month.

Offerings

While most players choose to play within our leagues, we offer many different formats and commitment levels for you to take the field, court or lane.

Leagues

Weekly Leagues are the bread and butter of LI-Kick. Leagues are 7 week commitments to play at the same time, same place and same team for the season.

Tournaments

Tournaments are one day competitions that play a series of games. These are typically held on weekends and last several hours.

Mix and Matches

Mix & Matches are 1-time open play nights to meet people and play in a casual environment. You play with and against different people over multiple matches.

Travel

Face off against teams from across the country, meet new people who share the same passion, celebrate at the after party, and even do some sightseeing, these activities make up the LI-Kick Travel Experience.

Semi Pro

Semi Pro is a tournament series that emulates professional sports in which players are evenly distributed to foster a competitive yet fair ecosystem.

Events

In addition to our fun on the field, LI-Kick runs various events throughout the year including bar crawls, VIP parties and the Gala.

Registration

Registration typically opens up 4-6 weeks before the start date, registering early is the best way to save on your registration fee.

Complete Team

A team captain registers and pays for the entire team. You'll need the names, emails and birthdates of all your teammates. Team size and gender requirements vary by league. Corporate Teams are always welcome in any of our leagues.

Join as a Group

You can sign up with a group of friends and be put on the same team. Once registration ends we will merge you with other groups that compliment your group's demographics to create a full team.

Individuals & Free Agents

Signing up by yourself is an awesome way to meet new people. When you register we collect some supplementary information and do our best to place you on a team with players like you.

The secret sauce that makes us more than an average sports league

Theme Weeks

Each Season LI-Kick throws a unified theme party across all of our leagues. Teams participate by dressing according to theme and then compete in an Instagram based poll competition to declare that season's winner.

Raising the Bar

Social sports aren't just about achieving sporting greatness. For most leagues we take the fun off the field with organized after-parties at local bars for you to share a drink with your teammates and opponents. Some leagues even see us crown our 'Bar Champs' with special trophies based on the team with the most bar points earned.

Travel Kickball Experience

Nothing is more exciting than taking your team to an overnight destination weekend tournament. LI-Kick organizes travel teams that compete in national level tournaments. A night out on the town with your team is the reward for a hard day's work on the field.

From Teammates to Soulmates

Social sports are a great way of potentially meeting that someone special or strengthening a relationship your already in. Our leagues and events are geared around providing a fun environment for you to explore.
