Don’t Miss Tuesday Night’s Washington Kastles Charity Classic

NY Sportimes vs Kastles

Make sure you mosey on down to Kastles Stadium at the Wharf on Tuesday night for Charity Classic.  Gates open at 6pm, but at 7:30pm, Team Stars and Team Stripes will loosen their ties (actually take them off, along with their conservative dark suits, you know the “D.C. uniform”, all though I’d venture to guess many of them wear a tan summer suit…) to battle it out all in the name of charity.  And we mean 100% going to charity.

The two teams are composed of leaders from both left and right, Congress, the Administration, Ambassadors, national media and sports personalities, and players from the WTT Champion Washington Kastles team.

The match will be comprised of a series of doubles tiebreakers with the team that wins the most matches capturing the coveted Kastles trophy. Notable names will also serve as coaches, chair umpires, line judges, announcers and sideline reporters.

Check out the list of confirmed participants (as of July 13):

John Breaux – Senator
Jonathan Karl – ABC News
Ben Olsen – Head Coach, DC United
Yvette Alexander – DC Council Member
Bret Baier – Fox News
Darrell Green – NFL Hall of Famer
