Eagle Scout Candidate Brendon Cullerton builds us a Gaga Pit! Brendon sanded and stained the wood and sub-assembled the pit at home. The pit was finished at the park district maintenance building and will be used for youth recreational programs. Thank you Brendon!
Just what is Gaga Ball? Gaga is a fast paced, high energy sport played in an octagonal pit. Dubbed a kinder version of dodgeball, the game is played with a soft foam ball, and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents with a ball below the knees. Players need to keep moving to avoid getting hit by the ball. Fun and easy, everyone gets a serious workout. From gagacenter.com.
