Kickball is a game of passion, of tears, of blood. It is the
single greatest game ever conceived, besting even that of a good game of dodgeball. Technically kickball isn't a game of tears and blood, but a good game is marked by the presence of these two elements (as well as a correctly sized (approx. 10") Red Rubber
Ball).
Similarly to dodgeball, it is traditionally played with a red rubber ball, but any kickable object is accepted. Traditional rules are similar to that of
baseball (an infinitely inferior game, even if it is more
popular). The
chief difference is that in kickball you kick a ball, instead of, slightly homoerotically, swing at
balls with your (wood) bat. Kickball also involves the fielders attempting to get out the runners by tagging them, or (for those with skill) pegging them. Knocking them over is a plus, but, unless otherwise agreed upon, offers no actual advantage. Other rules are followed if agreed upon.
A good kickball player
will rule his/her respective playground or park. Or LEAGUE!
There are kickball leagues you can join. Just google it.
