Each Team will have “equalizers” implemented into their play to make things fun and exciting.
Rain date: There ain’t one! Pray for cool, dry weather!
The PLAN:  Show up at 2pm, organize teams, start play as soon as possible, play till about 4ish, have a popsicle or two on the grass, dismiss at 5ish!

Pack 90 will bring: Water jug with ice water, one jug of bug juice for Scouts and the “equalizers”

DID YOU KNOW? There is a “World Adult Kickball Association” with two chapters here in Austin !
Well we aren’t going to play exactly the way the WAKA play but we’ll have fun none the less.
Attached is the WAKA Rule Book for any of you folks who are really, really board. We will use bits and pieces of the content of this document.
Don’t come expecting to learn “real” kickball . . .  do come prepared for fun and interesting twists to an ever growing game that is not just for sand lots anymore.
SO, put on your sun screen, put on your deet, and bring a chair  . . . .  and have some fun at the “2nd Annual Pack 90 KICKBALL EXTRAVAGANZA! ”

Hope to see everyone there!
