Level the Playing Field! Picture yourself jogging across a wide, grassy soccer field or a freshly raked baseball diamond. How does it make you feel? Do you remember joining your first sports team as a kid? Can you hear the crack of a bat, or the swoosh of a goal? Do you remember lacing up your cleats, imitating the older kids' moves, and practicing after school with your best friends? Team sports are an integral part of our national fabric and culture, and a maintained playing field invites kids to go outside and get dirty while releasing stress, meeting new friends, and improving physical fitness. When a field is community-built, it is also a living symbol of how much that community cares about giving young people productive outlets and opportunities to express themselves. If you dream of revitalizing a sports field in your community and you're ready to mobilize your fellow citizens for an inspiring project, KaBOOM! has the resources and know-how you need in the DIY section of our website. Visit the links on the right for more information, and visit our Forums to learn from the experience of others. Watch for more DIY resources for skateparks, fields and ice rinks — coming soon!
