Movie Screening & Kickball Game

We have screening tickets! But the deal here is a little different than usual so read everything!

We are putting on a sweet kickball game to promote the movie and give away the tickets. We are looking for 40 people to play.  20 people for each team.  One Lucky random team will get Lockout t-shirts to wear during the game and keep!  Everyone on the winning team will get a ticket to the movie screening that takes place on the next day (Tuesday) and the sweet thing about these tickets is they are guaranteed as long as you show up by 6:45 (15 minutes before the movie begins) no more worrying about getting there an hour before…. YES!

So, come join us for a super awesome pickup kickball game on Monday and then a free movie on Tuesday! We will meet on the mall as close to the Smithsonian Metro Stop as we can (we’ll be the big group playing kickball and wearing lots of the same shirts!) Early Monday we will send out an email with more info to help you find us!

Rember, Monday is Kickball on the Mall, Tuesday is the movie at AMC Maza Gallerie!

TAILGATE PASSES GET YOU

Drinks:
Those who buy this package can help themselves to the “kegs of the day.”  They do ask that you show your government issued ID to get beer.  Assorted Soft Drinks.

Buffet:
The Screaming Eagles menus in the past have consisted of the BBQ standards-hot dogs and burgers along with grilled chicken, bratwurst, chorizo, grilled pizza and ravioli.  There is also plenty of vegan/vegetarian friendly options.  To supplement the spread they rely on the generosity of others to bring assorted sides and desserts. You don’t have to feed an army, whatever amount you bring is great.

Tailgate Games:
What's a tailgate without some drinking games.  We will bring some tables for epic flip cup and beer pong games.  There will also be Cornhole and maybe even some giant jenga!

WHAT TO BRING:

We ask that you bring an awesome attitude that is ready to have an all around great time.  There is a limited supply of chairs and a lot of shade under our tents, but feel free to bring your own blankets and/or chairs to sit on.  As mentioned it is not required but if you would like to bring a side dish to contribute to the buffet you are more than welcome to do so and it will be welcomed with open arms.  Don't forget your ID if you are drinking the keg!

Where do you come in you ask?  We are holding a T-Shirt design contest and want to see what your creative minds can think up.  The design contest will run until April 5th.   

What we are looking for

We are looking to do one general shirt design that would be used for the shirts in every sport.  That means the design should NOT be sport specific.  We urge you to be as creative as possible.  We are looking for something fairly simple, creative, fun and eye catching.  We want you to design something that you think people would really enjoy.  We want this to be something you would be interested in wearing outside of the league.

What to do

First you need an idea.  Think about what you like and what you would wear.  This is not only a design for sweet new player T-Shirts but the design is a way for other to see how cool USS is.

Get Designing

Get the Photoshop or Illustrator T-Shirt templates.  Remember to keep your design to one color.

Things to keep in mind  

• Play on the word “league”
• Include the URL playuss.com
• Think of slogans. Examples: “Come Play With Us”, “A League Where Everyone Scores”, “I’m Out Of Your League”, “A League Like No Other”
• Think Retro
• Keep it to One Color
• Have Fun with this & be creative

Submissions

Once you have completed your design you can submit it by emailing it to info@unitedsocialsports.com

Winner

Not only will the winning design be seen by thousands of players and thousands of  spectators but the designer will also be announced on Facebook to everyone.  The winner will also receive Free USS registrations for Life! (Limit one per season)  That’s right, you get to play with USS F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!  We Will judge on creativity, how catchy it is, and how appealing to the eye it is.  Feel free to create new slogans, catch phrases or anything of the sort.  If you have any questions about the contest email us.  This is not only a design for sweet new player T-Shirts but the design is a way for others to see how cool USS is! 

Below is just one example of a new shirt design that we have created.
