Looking for something to do?
Or maybe you forgot when our next big event is? Yeah, same here sometimes. That’s exactly why we put together this Social Calendar—your all-in-one hub for everything happening with SBW.
From sports leagues and community meetups to pop-up events and social hangouts, you’ll find (almost) everything here. Whether you’re planning your week or just winging it, this is where you’ll find the good times.
🥎 In the Summer…
We hit the fields with multiple slow-pitch softball teams:
-
Men’s League – Tuesday
-
Women’s League – Every Sunday at Carlington
-
Co-ed “Beer League” – Friday nights, usually near headquarters
🏒 In the Winter…
We switch gears to ball hockey and more:
-
Sunday Co Ed ball hockey is coming back this fall!
-
Interested in Women’s Futsal? Let a captain know!
-
Plus, don’t miss our seasonal snowboarding, skating, and Dinner Club events.
There’s no off-season when you’re a Bud.
📅 What’s Next?
Seasons change—and so do our sports. Be sure to check out the Upcoming Seasons page to see what’s on deck.
📲 Stay Connected
Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram and TikTok to stay up to date with all things SBW. We post everything from game day highlights to behind-the-scenes fun. Like, comment, and share to show some love—and help us support the amazing local small businesses that make what we do possible.
And hey, the fun doesn’t stop at the final inning. During the season, we like to hang out before and after our Friday night softball games. Whether it’s grabbing a drink, catching up with the crew, or just keeping the good vibes going—it’s all part of the SBW experience.

In addition, media coverage plays a key role. Instead of traditional ads, influencers now promote games. Likewise, social media boosts engagement. Above all, the passion for sports never fades. Even though teams lose, loyal fans stay supportive.
Because of this, sportsmanship is celebrated. To clarify, success is not just about winning. Not only that, but fair play matters. In other words, integrity defines true champions. Furthermore, post-game events foster connection among attendees.
Similarly, dinner clubs offer an opportunity to connect. Accordingly, members rotate hosting duties each month. Meanwhile, new recipes are exchanged and discussed. Comparatively, book clubs lean toward intellectual bonding. Thereafter, participants often recommend related reads.
In the same way, travel groups build lasting memories.
