NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)- Friends of all ages and abilities meet once a month at the Charleston Convention Center for a kickball tournament. While the sport itself can teach lifelong skills; friendship is at the forefront.
The idea was sparked when the North Charleston Recreation Department realized that those with special needs had a lack of available sports.
“So we looked at our recreational department and realized that we need to be little bit more intentional in our planning to include everyone,” says Program Director Kathy Kackley, “Kickball is something that everyone loves to play.”
