Join The Classic
Battle of the Bases & Battle of the Airlines
One Base Will Rise. One Airline Will Win.
The inaugural Flight Crew Kickball Classic begins with 10 American Airlines Mainline Bases competing in the Battle of the Bases Championship.
The winning base team will advance to represent American Airlines in the Battle of the Airlines Championship Round against invited airline teams from across the aviation industry.
This is more than a game—it’s the beginning of a wellness-driven movement bringing flight crew together through fitness, community, and purpose.
Important Note: Flight Crew Kickball Classic is an independent wellness and community initiative created for flight attendants and pilots.
While not affilliated with or sponsored by any airline, American Airlines mainline crews are serving as the inaugural year trailblazers—helping launch what is envisioned to become a multi-airline championship experience for the aviation community.
