Kickball. That’s for kid’s right?
Wrong.
The World Adult Kickball Association has more than 10,000 members.
Turned off by increasingly competitive recreational softball or other team sports, many adults are considering kickball a creative, low-key way to unwind.
In Washington DC, at the foot of the Washington Monument, this Saturday the fifth-annual Founders Cup world kickball championship were held.
Hundreds have gathered to play and heckle, their orange, yellow, black and red team T-shirts brightening the overcast August day.
Apart from being fun and non-competitive the low demand on athletic skills is another draw to the game.
“You can be the kid who got picked last in kickball in grade school and still be good here,” said Sara Slusarski, 26
In fact, the game is so non-competitive that a favorite on-field admonition is “Hey, it’s just kickball.”
Volunteers kept the games on course.
