"Do A Little Dance, Make A Little Glove, Get Down Tonight..."
Welcome to the CCSP Force website. We are a Division I - Class "B" Co-Ed Softball team playing in Arlington County, Virginia. The "core" group of players have been together for 7 years now. And yes, we're still going pretty strong. Over the past seasons, we've been fortunate to have played with some great people and "bummed" to see some of them go. Luckily, we've managed to keep the mixture of spirited fun and heated competition in good balance...probably due to the great mesh of talent and personalities that have "come and gone" and those that have "played and stayed". Continued success is always a goal and we're starting to "fancy" those trophy things after every season. Quick tongues and laughs are as frequent as the runs and the fun just never stops. Then again, we will get fired up for the big "rival" weeks and for whoever else decides to "irk" us in any given game...or in any given inning. The Crystal City Sports Pub has sponsored this team since inception, hence the CCSP part of our team name. So come on in and stay a while. Do feel free to look around, please sign our GUESTBOOK and participate in our *IF* QUESTION of the WEEK...
Peanuts Theme
Fall 2002 - A Quiet Championship...
The Fall 2002 season had a lot of ups and downs. Off the field, much of the season was focused on the safety of the whole metro area as the sniper duo compromised a lot of our day-to-day living. The rain then played a major part of delaying the season well into Thanksgiving week and even then, it was 4 weeks since the last time we had set foot on the field. It proved to be a test of our patience and anxiety to finish the season out.
With the departure of Glen and Lisa, the team set out to stack the roster with even more talent. We added Ray Flores and Jeff Suttell, with Jeff Ford and Dave Levins on an on-call basis. On the female side, we welcomed Jennifer Dameron, Mindy Nash, Deb Snyder and Joy Satterfield. Again, we had to go through another "get-to-know-you" period, but the dug-out bantering did not miss a beat. On the field, we suffered the first loss "blemish" in over 40 games as the team was swept by an inspired Seahorses team on that memoriam day of 9/11. The "lull" lasted one more week as the Monkeys got some sort of payback in splitting the doubleheader to avenge the spring's sweep during the season and in the tourney. The ship was then "righted" as we pounced and pounded on the opponents to come, to include RSIS and the rematch with the Smashers. How good was it to see Tim back in action!?!?! Get off me ball!!!
That proved to be our last day in the field as the rains came in on consecutive Wednesdays to follow; pushing the season back into November. The make-up opponents proved to be unwilling to play the season out and forfeited the remaining games. With that, we laid claim to a share of the league championship with the Monkeys. Oh how, the Seahorses losses hurt! Nonetheless, we moved past the losses, built the unity, and started a new streak. Fifteen and three ain't so bad...not when it comes with a trophy. Congratulations to all!!!
*IF* Question of the...Whenever
09/02/2002 - If you had to fight a duel tomorrow at dawn, and you could select the types of weapons you and your opponent would use, what weapons would you select?
06/24/2002 - If you could be invisible for one hour, where would you go and what would you do?
06/03/2002 - If you could choose Ashley's new nickname from Gecko or Sally or Mandy or Umpire Angel or maybe even something new, what would you select?
If you wish to respond to any or all of the prior questions, answers can be posted on the MESSAGE BOARD under the appropriate listing. (Click on the MESSAGE BOARD link in the left navigation area to get there.) We'll keep the last 4 to 6 weeks of questions on the Home Page, while the message board will go back further in time...
