Adult kickball popularity is soaring
Mirroring a nationwide rise in interest, Onondaga County formed a kickball league last summer with eight teams. The league proved so popular that the county formed a fall league, added a second night and expanded to 13 teams. This summer, the league swelled to 24 teams - and county parks officials had to turn away another dozen teams because there weren't enough fields.
To learn more: The World Adult Kickball Association - not just the US - (though I'm not sure they considered their acronym carefully enough). You know it's big when there's Betty Boop merchandise available!
Even I tried to join a league, but I just couldn't make myself drive way down south to play. I am going to see if there's a midtown league, though. Thanks RC for the tip!
