What is Kickball?
1.
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.
Kickball will soon become the national pastime. It is equal to dodgeball as king of the playground. Beats all others as king of the park.

a game that simulates baseball, except the pitcher throws the ball underhand (bowling style) to the kicker at the plate, not batsman, to attempt to kick the ball fair to advance to bases or advance runners: the fielders catch and throw the ball (rubber ball about 10-12 inches in diameter) barehanded (w/out gloves): the game should be played on blacktop
