This zany game mixes kickball, football and frisbee. One at a time, players will stand at home plate
and throw a football and frisbee, as well as kick a kickball, as far as they can. Once they have
thrown/kicked all three objects, the player runs around the bases. While that is occurring, the
opposing team attempts to get all the objects to home plate before runners cross home plate or
advance around the bases. Runners stop where they are once the opposing team returns all three
objects to home plate. Pre-registration is required. Payment will be accepted the day of the
activity. Payments will NOT be processed online.

Details:
Frisbee toss and football collide in this widely popular game. Teams line up on either side of the
field, and one team “kicks off” by throwing the frisbee to the opposing team. The receiving team
picks up the frisbee and begins to advance the frisbee down the field by passing back and forth
among teammates. If the team drops the frisbee or the defending team intercepts or knocks
down the frisbee, then they have possession of the frisbee and the field flips direction. This is a
fun, fast-paced game. Pre-registration is required. Payment will be accepted the day of the
activity. Payments will NOT be processed online.

Yes, you read that correctly: quidditch has arrived at Parks and Recreation! Recently approved for
Muggles, this game is quickly gaining popularity and is even played at the collegiate level. A
quidditch team is made up of several athletes who play with brooms between their legs at all
times. Each team will have one seeker, three chasers, two beaters and one keeper. While the game
can appear chaotic to the casual observer, once you are familiar with the basic rules, you’ll find
that quidditch is an exciting sport to watch and an even more exciting game to play.

Players must bring their own broom, and a scarf is highly recommended. Pre-registration is
required. Payment will be accepted the day of the activity. Payments will NOT be processed online.
