Mark your calendars: the Valrico FishHawk Chamber of Commerce Annual Kickball Tournament returns on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at Camp Cristina in Riverview. It's one of the most fun community events on the eastern Hillsborough County calendar, and it's for a great cause.

What Is It?

Local businesses form kickball teams and compete in a bracket-style tournament on the fields at Camp Cristina. Think company softball league, but with a rubber ball and a lot more trash talk. Teams dress up, get creative with team names, and compete for bragging rights (and a trophy).

Between games, there's food, music, and the kind of casual community hangout that makes small-town-in-a-big-metro living so appealing.

Who Benefits?

This year's tournament benefits the chamber's 2026 Charities of Choice: Seeds of Hope and We Are the Essentials. Both nonprofits serve families in eastern Hillsborough County.

Last year, the chamber raised $16,000 for its 2025 charity, Hope for Her, through events like the kickball tournament and its annual celebration. The goal is to match or exceed that number in 2026.

How to Get Involved

Want to play? Businesses can register a team through the chamber. Contact Nikki Seace at [email protected] or Mike Neill at [email protected] for team registration details.

Want to sponsor? The chamber is seeking a Title Event Sponsor as well as smaller sponsorship tiers. It's a solid way to get your business name in front of hundreds of local residents while supporting two worthy charities.

Want to watch? Just show up. Camp Cristina is located at 9840 Balm Riverview Rd, Riverview, FL 33569. The event is family-friendly, and spectators are welcome.

Why It Matters

In a community that's growing as fast as Valrico and FishHawk, events like the kickball tournament do something important: they give people a reason to show up, connect, and support each other. The chamber has grown significantly in recent years, and events like this are a big part of why.

Whether you're a longtime resident or just moved to the area, the kickball tournament is a low-pressure way to meet your neighbors, support local businesses, and help two local charities — all while watching adults in matching t-shirts argue about whether a kick was fair.
