What we’re reading today:
1. New York State officials have deemed kickball, dodgeball, wiffleball and freeze tag “unsafe.” Red rover and capture the flag are also pretty dangerous. (In our experience, red rover seems the most likely of those six to cause injury. Wiffleball? Really?) If a recreational program offers two of these risky activities, they have to register as a summer camp. This means paying a summer camp fee and hiring medical staff. This is bad news for small neighbourhood rec programs.
2. So you can’t play capture the flag… but maybe your kids can join the local quidditch league? The mugglized version of the Hogwarts sport is gaining in popularity. (BTW you’re way more likely to get hurt chasing after the snitch than you are playing freeze tag.)
