History
The High Elbows franchise was berthed in 2004 by long-time team members Ryan "Sausage Paw" McDonough, Ian "Bitchdog" Povlich and Matt "Ron" Holdorf and has gone through myriad name changes and even more sponsor bars including Neybour's on Southport (defunct), The Schoolyard, Waterhouse, Tuman's Alcohol Abuse Center, Cleo's on Armitage, Stanley's, J Patrick's, and the 50/50. The High Elbows took the league championship in the spring of 2010 and has played at Union Park for 7 of the 10 years. In its hay-day, the High Elbows team consistently implemented the " number of people times two plus one" rule when ordering beers so nobody was without a beer when they ran out of their first.

In 2013, the team came under new management and decided the team needed some rebranding (also came as a result of the sponsor bar not providing t-shirts). Henceforth, they were known as the magic elbows.

Some fun nuggets:

Two fights (one verbal and one shoving)
One pitch that went all the way up and over the pitcher
One cigarette smoked while fielding
Varying theme music for each person for the entire 2006 season
One shattered ankle sliding BACK into third base
Zero DUIs
Featured a hobo team manager for 3 seasons
One good luck, five pound Hershey bar brought to every game of the 2007 spring season

Great people and great vibes. If you're looking to get out and meet some people while having fun then Players Sports is for you. There are leagues and tournaments for a bunch of different sports. They run them for all skill levels and you get cool shirts if you win. Also a lot of free promos - they give out a lot of drinks and other stuff. Overall, very fun and very friendly environment.

For the last three years, I have been playing indoor and beach volleyball with Players Sport & Social. They are always exceptional and professional. My favorite part of the leagues is the cadence and the different formats that they offer; whether you want to play Rec vs Competitive or 2s vs 6s - they have it all! They also have referees for all of their indoor leagues, and they are prompt to email requests.
