Don't laugh -- you remember playing it in grade school. now imagine you and a group of your friends (the league is co-ed) back out on the field (beers or cocktails are welcome on the field, ) playing again. it sounds silly; almost all had the same initial reaction.
"It's an adult sport where maybe 100 percent of the players wouldn't be comfortable playing softball," said Pat Barbatsis, co-owner of Cities Sports Connection. "Kickball hit a certain niche perfectly."
"I came and watched a game, and I thought they were crazy -- but curiously crazy," said Grace Cavanaugh, 26, a financial planner who lives in Plymouth and plays in a MUSA league for a team named the Tatertot Zombies. She decided to give kickball a shot for the same reason as many others: "With softball, you feel like you're either good at it or bad at it. It's all fair game with kickball."
a little excercise and then to the bar for more fun.
It's also an excuse to socialize. Bruning, 29, was re-introduced to her fiancé through kickball, and half of her wedding party "is probably kickball-related."
Players cover a wide age spectrum, though 25 to 30 seems to be the target demographic. It is still silly enough, though, that adults are often skeptical in the beginning. News of a kickball team often travels from friend to friend, with the sentiment starting at "You're doing what?" moving toward "Hmm" and ending in, "Hey, I want to play, too."
we will be accepting registration for the fall season at the field or via the website, www.musakickball.com. we welcome individual sign-ups and we will find you a team or you can find your own team at one of the preseason parties. games will be played on friday nights starting on aug 24th.
"We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing, GET OUT AND PLAY!"
