Tampa Bay Club Sport sets July 11 kickball tournament at Eddie C Moore

Tampa Bay Club Sport turned Eddie C Moore Softball Complex into a full-day kickball stage on July 11, with the Summer Lovin tournament running from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The setup looked more like a bracketed sports property than a casual summer runaround, with recreational and competitive divisions, an age floor of 18 and up, and a 10v10 format that put five men and five women on the field.

The structure mattered as much as the date. Entry was set at $450 per team, with a signup deadline of Tuesday, July 7, and the package promised a minimum of three games, online schedule, standings and scores, and paid officials. That combination gave teams something closer to a tournament guarantee than a one-game social event, and it gave every roster a real day’s work instead of a quick exhibition.

Eddie C Moore was built for that kind of traffic. The City of Clearwater describes the complex as a national and state award-winning softball facility with nine fields spread across three locations on Drew Street, plus picnic areas, shelters, benches, concession stands, restrooms and a multipurpose field. For a one-day kickball tournament, that kind of layout is a competitive advantage because it lets multiple games move at once without losing the feel of a polished event campus.

Tampa Bay Club Sport has leaned into that model before. It held a Summer Lovin Kickball Tournament on June 21, 2025 in Safety Harbor, using the same $450 team fee, the same 10v10 co-ed format, the same minimum of three games and the same paid-officials setup. A 2024 edition was also staged at Eddie C Moore on July 27, giving the event a clear annual footprint instead of a one-off summer experiment.

That continuity fits the way Tampa Bay Club Sport already runs its adult kickball offerings. Its regular leagues are played on softball fields with umps, and the season includes seven regular-season games before a single-elimination playoff. The tournament simply compresses that same formula into one weekend-style event, with a tighter bracket, a bigger social draw and a format built to keep standings and scores moving all day.
