Kickball was THE GAME to play (when not playing badminton).
We used to play in a gravel parking lot. And not the small round safe pebbles, instead the LARGE walnut sized pieces with multiple knife sharp edges. So if you fell when running, it was dangerous. It was a bloody sport.
Which made it all the more fun.Comment

As a kid, I grew to resent kickball. I'm not very good at sports anyway, but that wasn't the reason. This began in 4th grade.
In grade school, we had gym once a week, and always shared the gym w/ another class. in 4th grade it was Miss Walden's class. Everyone thought Miss Walden was a man in drag. She may have been undergoing a sex change at this time, but I swear she was a football player in a wig, dress, and orthopedic shoes. She was like a kickball NAZI. Every flipping week, we had to play kickball b/c she wanted to. We asked our teacher, Mrs. Weissman to talk to her and tell her that we get to pick a game sometimes too, but she never did. I think she was afraid of Miss Walden. So most of us, (myself included) began boycotting gym class. I'd delibrately wear shoes that couldn't be on the gym floor so the drag queen would make me sit out. I still got a G (for good) in Gym b/c Mrs. Weissman wasn't going to penalize anyone for that. She knew how we felt. I didn't come to terms w/ my resentment until my adult life when I was working w/ different after school groups. (But I was always the pitcher, and made the kids run!)
*sigh* Sad, isn't it?"Do you believe, you believe in magic?

I didn't even mention the summer I was in day camp (entering 5th grade), and we went to the playground to play, and I got creamed by a counselor who was the pitcher, and tagged me out w/ the ball. She hit me so hard that I fell, or should I say SLID on the concrete ground, in my shorts, and severely skinned BOTH my knees. I couldn't even go home b/c no one was there to pick me up and I couldn't walk home b/c that's how bad my knees were. For the next couple of weeks, I couldn't even go swimming!
Did I say I resented kickball? I HATE IT!!not laughing at you but dam...now I don't feel like playing anymore
I can't believe it was so bad for you
