Kickball Daycare

Now before all the kickballer parents get all excited, no we aren't starting a daycare to watch your kiddos while you play kickball. Sorry. However considering how young the Kick N Da Balls team is we might as well as start a daycare.

According to their group page on Facebook, not a single player on Kick N Da Balls is older than 21. Translation: If you ever see them in a bar, feel free to grab them by the ear and throw them right through the front door. From what I remember, I don't think any of the guys, excuse me...boys, on their team are even shaving yet. They are by far the youngest team in the league. I had to chance to speak with Coach Tiger Pride and asked him how he feels about having such a young team, he said "I think we will hold our own. We are very excited about competing. We have an excellent chance at getting to the tournament." When asked if youth has any advantage over other older players, Tiger Pride simply said "Energy." I have to say I was very surprised that his responses were so matter of fact and ultimately very reasonable. His responses were missing that element of youthful arrogance I have come to expect from kids his age and that attitude that has become so synonymous with his generation, which I have to admit is a relief. That last thing we need is a young band of kickball hooligans running around and terrorizing our older more "seasoned" players.

So to all the older kickballers out there, I hope I have set your mind at ease. You won't have to worry about kids throwing eggs at you or toilet paper or whatever it is kids do nowadays. We can all expect great things from the these kickball youngsters, on and off the field. They seem to be a respectable group of kiddos. For being such a great group the first round of Carpi-Sun pouches and oranges slice will be on me. Have fun peeking through the bar windows while the grown-up kickballers have some real fun. Silly children....
