Announcing Our NHAF
Inaugural Kickball Tournament

We’re excited to introduce the very first NHAF Kickball Classic—an easygoing, outdoor tournament inspired by Nate’s love of being outside, playing, and having fun with the people around him. This event is meant to be active and competitive enough to keep things fun, but never intense or intimidating.

The Kickball Classic is all about bringing teams together to hang out, laugh, and enjoy a great day in the spirit of community. Whether you’re here to compete a little or just enjoy the energy, expect a relaxed, welcoming vibe where the focus is on connection, teamwork, and having a genuinely good time.
