or popularized in the U.S. Thus far, the kids
have played ultimate Frisbee, kickball, and
Capture the Flag.
The club leaders designed
a Facebook page and website for the club.
They make flyers advertising each gathering
and partner with the American Corner Bitola
to spread the word about upcoming sports.
The ASC even successfully applied for a baseball equipment donation from the organization Pitch In For Baseball, with the gear on its
way to Macedonia. Equipment has been a bit
of a challenge, but fortunately the club has
been able to borrow YMLP equipment while
working on obtaining its own supplies.
Plus,
we discovered that egg cartons make decent
bases, at least for the first few innings.
The goal is to continue growing the membership and perhaps even play against neighboring communities so PCVs, start building your
teams now.
For each event, 10-15 kids participated even
in drizzly rain (Ultimate) and cold, dense fog
(capture the flag).
