Join The Classic
Battle of the Bases & Battle of the Airlines
One Base. One Airline. One Champion.
The inaugural Flight Crew Kickball Classic™ begins together aviation professionals for two exicting championships celebrating teamwork, wellness, and airline pride.
BATTLE OF THE BASES features American Airlines employees representing their home base in a competition for base bragging rights.
BATTLE OF THE AIRLINES brings together aviation professionals from participating airlines to compete for airline pride and the inagural championship title.
Important Note: Flight Crew Kickball Classic is an independent wellness and community initiative created by aviation professionals to strengthen wellness, connection, and community throughout the aviation industry.
