Westwood's women's kickball program gets rolling PASCACK

With organizational assistance from local resident Lindsay Davis, the Westwood Recreation Department recently launched its first Womenʼs Kickball League. Nearly 70 women are participating in the four-team league, which plays Friday evenings at Berkeley School fields.

Adult kickball leagues are popular throughout the country providing fun, friendly competition amongst friends and neighbors while promoting fitness and community involvement.

“What an amazing turnout for our first womenʼs kickball league,” said Gary Buchheister, Westwood

Recreation Director. “When Lindsay approached us with the idea of starting the league, we were overwhelmed by her enthusiasm and told her to get the ball rolling. We appreciate her organizational effort and hope the program will continue after this inaugural summer season.”

All necessary game equipment is provided by the Westwood Recreation Department and each participant in the league is provided

MONTVALE with a colorful team T-shirt.

Schedules and games are managed by Davis and team participants.

“The womenʼs kickball league is great way to spend a Friday evening,” says Amy McDevitt, a new participant in the league. “I love meeting other women in town, the friendly competition and all of the laughs that come along with each game. Finally, the moms are on the ball field instead of just shuttling the kids around from game to game!”

Residents and neighbors who participate in Westwood Recreation programs will receive information on upcoming classes in programs guides, emails and on social media. Westwood Recreation programs and forms are listed at westwoodnj.gov/recreation. Registration for Fall programs will begin Sept. 5 tor residents and Sept. 11 for non-residents.
