April 24 - Den Meeting/Parent-Son Kickball Game

Dear Tiger Cub Parents,

This is a reminder of tomorrow's (Tuesday, April 24) den meeting.  We will be having a Parent-Son Kickball Game, starting at 7:00 PM at Warwick Park (off Washburn Ave.)!

No actual kickball skills are required to play!  In case you haven't played in 30 years (like me), I'll remind you of the basic rules:

• It's played basically like baseball, but instead of a pitcher, there is a roller (this will be one of the parents from each team)
• You kick the ball instead of hitting it with a bat (thus, the name "kickball")
• You get an out just like in baseball by catching a fly ball or forcing a runner out at base, but you can also "tag" the runner with the ball by touching them with it or throwing it at them (kind of like dodge ball) - PLEASE TRY TO AVOID THROWING THE BALL AT THE RUNNER'S HEAD!!! 
• We will not count "strikes" (but we may giggle a little bit)
• And instead of changing sides after 3 outs, we'll let each player on a team kick the ball before we switch.

So come ready to play and have a great time!  Don't forget to bring a drink for you and your son.  The boys do not need to wear their uniforms.

Please feel free to come and play, even if you think you may arrive a few minutes late.  (I know some of you have soccer practice beforehand.)  I also realize that our den meeting is on the same night as the academic fair, so we'll try to wrap it up by 7:45, in case you want to try and attend both.

See you all on the kickball field!
