Do You Kickball?

Played just like softball or baseball!

• Suggested team: 10 players on field, 12 - 15 players on team with coach
• Need a Cluster Captain: Someone to organize the cluster teams, Contact churches within each cluster for team members
• Each game will be 3 innings
• Winners of first 2 games (teams 1,2,3,4) will draw to determine who play tea
