Unfortunately, field conditions & a subpar weekend forecast have led to the cancellation of this weekend’s Downtown Parkersburg Kickball Tournament, but look for the event to return in late fall or sometime in 2026!

We are very sad to announce that tomorrow’s kickball tournament is canceled. This is out of an abundance of caution due to field conditions, recent flooding, and the forecast. We have 109 players signed up so we will have the tournament next year or hopefully, even sooner. We apologize for the inconvenience. This was a decision by the whole Kickball Committee.
