The only halfway decent sport I can play

So as we all know, I am not graceful.
Like in the least.
Sports and I do not really mix.
Pretty much ever.
I have great fine motor skills but terrible gross motor.
So never ask me to hit a ball with a bat or really throw a ball.
Or hit something at all.

But there is an exception.
Kick ball.

Wait what?

Yes Kick Ball.

Did you ever watch the show Recess back in the 90's?
They all loved kick ball.
And I do too.

So when I heard work was going to have a Kick Ball game this past Friday, I was so game.
I was pumped.
Like I was actually looking forward to an athletic activity.
Isn't that so not me?
I know but its kickball.
And kickball is life.

So I get down there around 7:20.
Its supposed to start around 7:30 but we all know its going to take a while for everyone to get there and get the teams sorted so it doesnt really start until around 8.
There is "lemonade" and other beverages about.
And everyone is supposed to have a cup in their hand at all times.
After i finish my drink/ actually I just spilled like 90% of it I can fully focus on the game. Because I hate the drink in hand rule.
And our team actually does semi decent.
Oddly enough.
Well most of the staff is male guides.
So of course the sporting event was fun when there are athletic men about.

We ran, shouted, sang, cursed and then ran some more.
And it was a blast.
Quite frankly I want it to be a weekly occurrence.
That would be just peachy.

But if you havent played kickball in a few years i'd suggest getting some friends together and doing just that.
It may surprise you how much fun you actually have whilst doing it.
