Summer Co-ed Kickball at Ballard Boys & Girls Club M/W

This weeks honors go to the predominately new team Poppin Runners for there excellent play, and great attitudes. Poppin Runners came to the field anxious to get under way and delve into a new sport, and test their skills. They were solid right away on defense making lots of great catches, especially Big Jar, and made solid put-outs in the infield. They soon got the art of kicking down, and were able to tally 12 runs for their first win of the season. Both teams in the second game were ridiculously fun, and made for a great game, and great night of Kickball. Great job Poppin Runners, as well as the runner up Team of the Week, 5th Grade Sports Legends, and their thorough stretching skills.

In a display of team work, I am giving the weekly award to an entire team. As Kick in a box had more male players than available positions, despite any gap in talent level from player to player, the rotated players in the game in a way that allowed everyone to play and sit an equal amount of time. They were the true essense of team spirit and involving everyone that arrived. While they played a great game en route to victory, the way they represented themselves made them and even bigger winner.
