BARS SPRING PREVIEW: SPORT & LEAGUE OFFERINGS
We’re in the final stages of locking down logistics for the upcoming spring seasons of all 4 sports: bowling, dodgeball, kickball, and pickleball. In the next week, we’ll send sport-specific e-blasts with full registration information. We wanted to tease our offerings now, however, so you can start planning! Please see below for a general outline of what our spring looks like!Along with our new and improved branding, we have additional updates: Because of rising costs associated with permitting, venue rentals, organizational infrastructure, and operational expenses – in addition to BARS not having raised prices over the last 10 years – we will be implementing small price increases for our sport offerings this spring. The pricing is outlined below.
In an effort to make our leagues more accessible and equitable for our players, we have multiple options for financial assistance: payment plans (for those wanting to pay over time) and discounted registration (for reduced league costs) are both available. DM us or email executive-board@bigapplerecsports.com for more information.
And as a reminder, teams for our Open Leagues are available to players of all genders. Our WTNB+ Leagues are available for our Women, Trans, Non-Binary (WTNB+) community.
For the first time, we are offering 3 different leagues this spring (including our first ever WTNB+ bowling league)! The spring will be a striking great time!
