CBS Newsletter - April League Action Re-Cap!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

A review of April leagues, highlights, & new events to look forward to.

Mother Nature did not want us to enjoy ourselves this past April. We got slammed with multiple snowstorms and heavy rain. However, May is turning out to be amazing!! We’re crossing our fingers for a sunny, hot, and dry summer (well maybe like a couple days of rain is fine)!

Trivia Question:In cornhole, how many points is it if the bag goes in the hole? If you answered 3, you’re correct! But the true question is, what pairs best with cornhole? We’ll give you the answer to this one. A local cold beer! Our Cornhole Leagues are held at Austin Street Brewery (Fox Street location) and Definitive Brewing Company. Both breweries offer great beers, BUT also non-beer options like seltzers, cider, etc.

Here are some upcoming leagues we’re excited about:

We’re excited for all upcoming leagues because we’re OUTSIDE! Some May Leagues are already at capacity, but Outdoor Soccer, Summer Flag Football, and more still have space! Another annual Summer League rapidly approaching is Monday 11 v 11 Women’s Soccer! Y es, it’s full field! League starts on June 10 at USM Gorham - Hannaford Field!

Check out some February Highlights:

Soccer Champions

This past season, a few soccer leagues ended their games outside! To each and every Champion, congratulations! Some games were nail-biters! The strong shots that were being thrown at the goalies kept them alert at all times. In case you missed it, we have exciting news to share: we have a THIRD field! Join the upcoming Leagues if you haven't already! The next League begins on May 23rd!

Flag Football

Flag football season is underway! There are 26(!) teams battling for the division cups! We look forward to some incredible interceptions, “flag” tackles, touchdowns, and Hail Marys. However, the CELEBRATIONS are what we are most excited about! Celebrate in style and with something unique; maybe our Social Media Rep will capture it on camera! Wishing all participating teams the best of luck, and we are excited for the new Leagues that begin in June!

Just some reminders:

Be kind to your referees - they make mistakes or miss calls, they’re human!
Good sportsmanship is a MUST
Have fun! Being competitive is great, but we’re not the NFL!

Indoor Softball Champions

Sometimes a shift in setting and atmosphere can sometimes have a significant impact. Turf or grass. LED lights or blue sky. Indoors VS. Outdoors makes a BIG difference. Not for Dilly Dilly Bing Bong, who absolutely crushed it out of the park (technically speaking, Dome)! Great fielding combined with their hot bats led them to win the Championship Cups! Now that the Indoor Softball season has wrapped up, all of the Leagues are outdoors! Start dates for all Outdoor Softball Leagues are in early to mid-May! If you haven't already, make sure you sign up!

Pickleball Champions

We're switching to Outdoor Pickleball after one final Indoor League ends at the end of May! Tuesday League will begin on May 14 while Monday League has just begun. No two pickleball leagues are alike! We discovered during the most recent playoffs that each team has a unique method for boosting excitement and motivation. While some partners like to "stay in your lane" and be quiet and formal, other partners like to nag and "shit talk" at one another. Whatever method works for you, use it! Congratulations to Spicy Pickles, Dinkorenzos, Dinking Buddies, and Pickle My Balls!

CBS Newsletter - November League Action Re-Cap!

Published in Latest News

Where did time go? It’s December…

A review of November leagues, highlights, & new events to look forward to.

We hope everyone’s Holiday season is going well and that you are enjoying time with family while gearing up for Winter!

This coming Winter we have space in a a few leagues that could be added to your exercise & social routines!

Pickleball: We’ve opened another Night of Indoor Pickleball! This Pickleball league plays on Sundays at the Maine Basketball Academy @ Steven’s Square starting 12/10 (Last minute space available).

Indoor Golf: Give Indoor Golf a try! FRIDAY Indoor golf @ X-Golf in Portland starts just after the NEW YEAR (January 5th)! Afternoon tee times, Bar & Grill onsite, stats, & more!

Fun Fact: For our 15th year anniversary, we’re throwing a PARTY: January 12th starting at 6:30 pm at Three Dollar Dewey’s! More details to come, but mark your calendars, invite your teammates & RSVP HERE!

Check out some November highlights:

Welcome Back Floor Hockey!

We’re psyched because Coed Floor Hockey is BACK! You have some time to sign up because League starts on January 10th! But don’t wait too long, we expect it to be popular this Winter! This League is held at Boys & Girls Clubs of South Portland. There are some specific rules and equipment needed, so check out our website for details! You can also reach out to us with any further questions!

Bowling Championships

Bowling finished off the Fall sessions at the beginning of November. We had different leagues and divisions playing which means several champions were crowned! We’re giving a shout-out to the GoodNYou Crew from Division C because one of their bowlers was on FIRE, It felt like he couldn’t miss! Very impressive! Congrats to all our Fall Bowling Champions!

Dodgeball Championships

And there was one. The championship game was a nail biter! The hits kept going back and forth and ended in a tie, which led to sudden death OT! With one person left on each side, both of them threw and both got hit! The odds for this to happen are very slim. Don’t Leddy the Air Out of My Tire tops their opponent and won the Tuesday Dodgeball Championship!

I.T.W.P Championship

If you don’t know what I.T.W.P stands for, it’s Inner Tube Water Polo! Second ranked Totally Tabular takes home the Championship Cup! All games were exciting and we’re glad the return of I.T.W.P. had a great vibe this season. We do have another League scheduled, but after the Cape swim team season is finished…. The next session starts February 21st!

CBS Newsletter - October League Action Re-Cap!

Published in Latest News

Who’s ready to be inside?

A review of October leagues, highlights, & new events to look forward to.

October is not only meant for apple picking, getting lost in a maze, pumpkin spice, foliage peeping, and Halloween, it’s also meant for the last bit of outdoor league action before we move indoors for that amazing Maine Winter!

This coming Winter, we have space in a a few leagues that could be added to your exercise & social routines!

Tuesday Indoor Golf has TWO spots left! The League resumes on 11/14 and runs for 7-8 weeks! The venue is X-Golf Portland and has simulators and a bar & grill onsite!

For softball players, there is an option for your squad to stay together this Winter! Check out Tuesday Indoor Softball @ The Portland Sports Complex! This league starts on 11/14 and there is space for TWO teams!

Fun Fact: Did you know that about 75% of adults played sports when they were younger, but only 25% continue to play sports as adults! Yay, you're part of that 25%!

Check out some October highlights:

Basketball Championship

The Chupapies may have taken home the Championship reign, but it was a nail biting game! The game was back and forth for the first 15 minutes, but the Chupapies headed into halftime up by 4 points. Their opponent was strong on the boards, grabbing any second chance rebounds for a chance to score. The Chupapies were on fire and made a majority of their shots. The Chupapies started pulling away with 10 minutes left on the clock and sealed the win with draining three pointers back-to-back.

Softball Championships

Within the past month, we’ve had 8 Softball Champions across all session! It’s sad that this will be the last outdoor sport until next year! Congrats to: Free Basers (Mon), One Hit Wonders (Mon), Andrea’s Bridal (Sun), Mighty Melonheads (Sun), Stallions (Wed), & Trippin Balls (Tues)!

Dodgeball is back!

Dodgeball is crazy! The key to dodgeball is to “dodge” the ball, but we saw a lot people getting hit! Every game is fast paced, and adrenaline was sky high! There are so many different techniques used in order to get someone out! Balls thrown at great speed, tag teaming with a buddy to get one person out, or a soft toss to bait with a hard throw to follow. If you want to watch some intense action & fun, head to Breakwater School on Tuesdays!

Kickball League Champions

Friendly rivalry is the best, and is exactly what we saw between Funtown and Splashtown in the Championship Game! It was a race against time to claim the Golden Ball because they needed to have a Champion before sundown. The game consisted of mainly amazing defensive plays. Funtown was able to find “holes” within the Splashtown’s defense, which lead to runs. Funtown took home the Golden Ball!

Snow is coming (yes unfortunately), so how do you keep that golf swing tuned up? Each Fall we partner with X-Golf in Portland with simulated play! The Tuesday Indoor Golf League tees off on October 24th adn plays every Tuesday for 8 weeks. Another bonus - There’s a bar and grill onsite for mid round socializing!

Fun Fact: Did you know Casco Bay Sports offers pickup soccer? If you do not want to commit to 6-8 week season or could not find a team, but still want to exercise, this is a great opportunity for you! Check out the Soccer page on our website which will provide you with information on the next pickup soccer game. There is Tuesday Indoor Pickup Soccer scheduled for October 10th at Portland Sports Complex.

Check out some September highlights:

Players Highlight : Meg and Pete

Where could you find Meg and Pete? There’s a great chance they’re playing Flag Football at Memorial Stadium (Deering High School) or on the court playing Basketball! They are a very active couple within the Casco Bay Sports community. They’re both very friendly and welcoming, but competitive! Aside from sports, they dedicate their time to their careers and family!

NEW LEAGUE: Monday Coed Indoor Pickleball

Monday Indoor Co-Ed Pickleball has been split into two separate time slots due to the overwhelming interest! This league debuted at the Point Community Center in South Portland! The playoffs are scheduled for Oct 30th. There is a “Waiting List” for the upcoming session. This League plays on Mondays and has a capacity of 19 teams - Make sure you join this list so you don’t miss out on next session!

Outdoor Softball Leagues (FALL)

Softball is in its final few weeks of play all current sessions ending at the end of this month! The options for Winter Softball are Tuesday INDOORS at The Portland Sports Complex! We use a softer ball and set up two fields inside the dome. There’s been so many exciting plays and home runs that we can’t keep track of it all - Thank you for playing this Summer & Fall!

Thursday Kickball League (FALL)

The image up top captures a funny & interesting kickball play! One player was on base when a kick was made into the outfield! In an effort to beat the throw home, runners picked up speed rounding each base. Between third base and home, the player caught up to the runner in front of them as they approached home!

CBS Newsletter - August League Action Re-Cap!

Published in Latest News

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!

A review of August leagues, highlights, & new events to look forward to.

This summer brought us a lot of unexpected rain, but that did not stop us from playing! Summer Leagues have officially ended which means Fall and Winter sports return. August was action packed with outdoor sports leagues!

We weren’t sure if this sport would return after our beloved “Cube” closed but…..Duck, jump, swerve, and dodge because Dodgeball is back! The league is back in action on Tuesdays at the good ol’ Breakwater School.

Ever try Co-Ed Inner Tube Water Polo? - This random sport that delivers amazing exercise only happens a few times a year. The Fall League kicks off on October 11 (every Wednesday) at Cape Elizabeth High School!

Fun Fact: Casco Bay Sports was founded in 2008! That was 15 years ago! We truly appreciate YOU for being part of our Casco Bay Sports community.

Check out some August highlights:

Monday Co-Ed Outdoor Soccer Champions

The word "perseverance" is clearly exemplified by Brooke's House! Without a substitute, they played three games straight-ahead, and they were shorthanded for a portion of Game One. Due to outstanding communication, Brooke's House was able to replace the goaltender with an on-field athlete so they could rest. To top off their hard work, Brooke’s house scored with minutes left in the Championship Game to win 1-0.

Sunday Flag Football Champions

Expectations for the Summer Sunday Division A Championship game were exceeded by a wide range of thrilling plays. Ruffhouse delivered outstanding performances when they needed it the most. Larkin made incredible catches that resulted in vital touchdowns. Vice's last-ditch Hail Mary attempt was blocked, crowning Ruffhouse Champions.

Tuesday Golf Championships

The Tuesday Summer Golf League was our biggest yet with 34 teams! Three divisions of match play took place over the course of three weeks in July after a grueling regular season of rain, wind, and some sun! Some great shots were made and post game beers were had - Congrats to our champions: Mystery Meat, Vinegar Strokes, & Triple C’s!

Wednesday Kickball Championships

Playoff season is a different season! Imagine that each team starts with a 0-0 record. The Wednesday Night Kickball Playoffs were played on turf at Portland Sports Complex, which was very different from their usual venue of grass at Fox Street. Kickin’ Balls was up for the challenge. The Championship Game started slow for both teams with “3 and out” for a couple of innings. Kickin' Balls benefited from a chaotic play that began with a good kick and resulted in crazed base running. One score was followed immediately by another. Kickin' Balls maintained their momentum and lead to claim The Championship.
