World Adult Kickball Association
World Adult Kickball Association
The
World Adult Kickball Association] (WAKA) is the largest sanctioning body for the recreational sport of adult kickball. WAKA was founded in Washington, D.C., in 1998 and now has leagues in over 35 states, as well as in countries such as India. Although independent community and church leagues had existed for years prior to its founding, the growth of WAKA is sometimes credited for the popularization of the children's game as a recreational and social activity among adults. Today, there are hundreds of adult kickball leagues nationwide, both affiliated and unaffiliated with WAKA.
