Highlight of the Week – Found a Home

What is your ZogSports Highlight?

“I’ve played in almost all of the social sports leagues in Washington DC in practically every sport offered. But my friends and I have definitely found a home playing Saturday Softball with ZogSports as the “Fighting Randos.” I’ve dabbled in other sports with Zog, but there’s a sense of comfort whenever I set my gear bag down on the dugout benches at the New York Avenue Playground, put on my face mask, and jog out to the pitchers mound. So for me, any Zog highlight will always feature the “Randos” and over the course of the past couple of years, there are quite a few memories and classic moments that come to mind. However, nothing can top the Spring 2015 Championship Game between us and “Hit and Run.” The “Randos” and “Hit and Run” had been involved in a friendly rivalry during that spring.

Go Randos!“

Highlight of the Week -Unwind and Socialize

What is your ZogSports Highlight?

“I’ve really enjoyed having a chance to unwind after a long and stressful day at work by hanging out with friends and having a few drinks over a game of shuffleboard or skeeball. It’s also been a great opportunity to meet and socialize with other young professionals in the city. I look forward to being a part of future ZogSports bar leagues!“

Highlight of the Week – Reaching the Promised Land

Reaching the Promised Land

What is your ZogSports Highlight?

“My team has been playing rec soccer since Winter 2011 (this fall is our 17th season as a team, 10th with Zog). My Zog highlight was our first championship. After three years of knocking on the door, we finally triumphed in Fall 2014. It was a magical season; we squared off against our nemesis, Goal Diggers. We had won narrow victories twice during the regular season. In a grueling championship game we finally reached the promised land in a dramatic PK showdown. I’ll never forget the final shot, knowing we’d secured the championship. As we all sprinted toward the goal to celebrate, the feeling was pure joy.”

Behind the Scenes In DC

Whether you’re camping out to hear your favorite band or waiting to buy the newest smart phone, it feels like you have to wait in a long line for EVERYTHING!  From NYC to LA, there are lines wrapped around movie theaters, malls, sneaker stores and even Chick-fil-A!  Since ZogSports loves to keep up with the latest trends, camping out has become a monthly activity for the GM of ZogSportsDC.  No, Kendra is not getting a new pair of kicks! This camp out one of a kind and happens rain or shine on the first of the month promptly at 3 am! Sounds crazy…but crazy is our middle name. It’s time to let you in on a little secret– We’re headed behind the scenes in DC!

Many DC Zoggers have the privilege of playing volleyball at the Lincoln Memorial Sand Courts, but little did you know that these volleyball courts are in extremely high demand. You’re about to learn what goes on in order to acquire this high value space for every month of our DC sand volleyball season.

As the clock strikes 3:00 am, the DC crew wakes up and prepares to camp out. With charged phones and iPads, camping chairs and food, they set up shop. Some try to sleep until their alarm goes off at 6, while others engage in the friendly argument of, “Who was here first!?”

Of course, you must understand that when camped out, there is a list of unwritten rules that everyone must follow:

  • The First: No saving spots! First come, first served is the motto of this permit-procurement process.
  • The Second: One person can only reserve one court. While there are some lone soldiers out on these streets, ZogSportsDC needs to secure enough courts for all of our players! So, Kendra and her crew are there to get permits for all of our leagues!
  • The Third: Be prepared to walk away with nothing. With only 30 spots to play volleyball throughout the week, sometimes failure is an option. (That’s why we offer a number of other great beach volleyball leagues!)
  • The Fourth: Bring rain gear!
  • The Fifth: 7 am = Starbucks time! Even if you and your neighbor didn’t speak all night, once the process is done, everyone deserves some caffeinated brew.

Now that you have a glimpse of what it’s like to stake out, anyone interested in joining ZogSportsDC on their next permit-procurement mission?

No? Alright… then just enjoy the leagues.1005574_641165505913079_948975179_n
