As summer approaches, the weather is looking better than ever.  The sign up board to play outside is always full of kids looking to run around in the sun.  Lately, Fort Knox has been the most popular game.  Led by Jason Ng and Ryan, a few rounds of Fort Knox always gets the heart pounding and the blood flowing. 

Played on the grassy fields at Gilmore, the kids are divided into two teams.  With rules similar to “Capture the Flag”, the objective of the game is to prevent the other team from getting your dodge-balls while trying to steal the other teams dodge-balls.  But if you cross the midpoint line into the other teams side, you better start running or you’ll get caught!  This game gives the kids a great chance to show their speed and encourages teamwork as well.  The chasing and throwing involved always results in tired (and usually really sweaty) but satisfied kids.  This playfully competitive game has been the popular request of kids who go outside.

Besides Fort Knox, softball, basketball and soccer are just few of the numerous activities kids are starting to participate in now that the days are hotter.  It’s fantastic that kids will always have fun outside, being active and having fun.

Good luck to all our athletes at track and field!

Cheers,

Jason Lee
