Our 2020 Fall Season Is Here!!!

Our board has been working tirelessly the past few months to make sure we provide a fun, competitive, but most importantly a safe environment, for all to enjoy! We can't stress enough, the importance of everyone following our new Covid-19 preventive guidelines! They are most effective when EVERYONE follows them!

We are sending out reminders to all coaches, players, fans, animal lovers and guest, that mask MUST be worn and you MUST have your temperature checked before you will be allowed into our sports complex! Coaches and players please arrive early and remember there will be no in person registrations at the fields, online only registrations will be accepted!

Social distancing signage, safety team volunteers and announcements will be made throughout the day to help remind everyone about our Covid-19 Preventive guidelines! They will be strictly enforced and they apply to everyone!

We still need more volunteers to be part of our Covid-19 Preventive Safety Team (CPST), Free drinks and snacks will be provided during the time you choose to volunteer. You can also volunteer to be part of the set up or break down crew. One and two hour slots are available that can allow you to volunteer before in between and after your games. Contact board member John Polito at wickedatlanta@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer. Volunteers will be needed throughout the season.
