win-win situation

i love t-ball. it's such a civilized game. everybody plays. everybody's at bat until they hit. everyone runs the bases and comes home. players take turns pitching and catching and everyone has a turn in those positions. the coaches are patient and encouraging. the crowd roots for both teams. there's no score. and when the game is over and it's time to go home, each team gives a cheer to their opponents before players high-five each other.  no better team sport than that!

I guess I did not know this about T-ball. Now I think it is a perfect team sport for kids.

Tabor, it's how we play the game here but it's also my only experience with t-ball. maybe the rules aren't as universal as i thought?? it is the perfect little-kid game - we should all play like this.

Sounds great. I'm wondering how I can adapt this for a classroom learning game...I'll have to look the rules up on the internet. Thanks!

Hi, I am visiting from Cindi's blog. I love the idea of a sport which is just that - one where everyone can have fun. How I wish that t-ball had existed while I was at school...
