Accessible Gaga Ball Pit

Description

Gaga is a fast paced, high energy sport played in an enclosed, octagonal pit. The more players the better! In general, Gaga is a gentler version of dodge ball and accessible to all skill levels. The game is played with a 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 play the game and it’s fun, easy and everyone gets a serious workout. Gaga is popular amongst teenagers, a population that may have “aged out” of traditional playgrounds but needs the exercise even more!
