Safety Moment - Gaga Ball

Gaga Ball is a fast-paced sport that has become very popular. The game is played in an octagonal pit and is considered to be a gentler version of dodgeball. When playing, always have adult supervision to monitor this activity, use foam balls or other soft materials, hit the ball with an open hand versus a closed fist, and play by the rules. If executed correctly, Gaga Ball is a fun and safe activity providing youth hours of entertainment and exercise.
