Adult Kickball. I had the pleasure of being part of a kickball team in Kansas City for three years, I loved getting out on the field every Thursday night. Of course a few adult beverages were consumed during this recreational sport, but besides the drinks, the friends that you made while playing this childhood activity was the main reason I came out to play. Knowing I needed to have a outlet to make new friends I have joined a kickball team in California. A different night to play and over 1,500 miles across the country but still the same fun. Although my KC teammates can never be replaced, you see similarities in each league. Same Terminology: "Catch it with your Face". This is a catch in which some part of your head is the primary reason that you made the epic save. I honestly thought that my team in Kansas City originated this saying.
Same Players: "Super Competitive" Guy, "Falls Down/Dirty" Guy, "Sassy Loud" Lady, "Crowds the Plate" Girl and "AARP" Guy (always one really old guy, who is surprisingly athletic despite age).
Same Same Types of Teams: "Fist Pumping" Team, the men wear baby shirts, the ladies cut up their shirts in "sexy DIY" fashions. *May find them air humping in outfield. "Jorts" Team, They all wear jean shorts and you almost see one of their teammates manhood as he slides into home.
Kickball is a way to be a kid again.
