National Mall, Washington

Beyond providing an opportunity for friendly competition and social interaction in Washington, DC, the organizers of United Social Sports only have one mission: help players have fun with an emphasis on being SOCIAL. With dodgeball, volleyball, soccer, bocce, and shuffleboard, the organization mixes all the fun of grade-school games with all the legal drinking of adulthood. The emphasis here is on having a good time, rather than feats of athleticism, so joining up requires little experience, physical exertion, and no physics PhD to master. Events are held at local gyms and bars that also offer players exclusive drink specials, exclusive parties and at the end of the season, a variety of prizes await the winners.
