Round up the whole crew

Three friends, or thirty — these are the big games, the loud ones, the ones people run over to join.

Ask your grown-up first. Bring a buddy. Play where your grown-up says it's OK.

This is what a full park is for. The more people you’ve got, the better these play — battle royales where the last ball standing wins, tag games with a ball glued to your feet, whole-field games that turn into an hour you didn’t see pass. You don’t need even teams or matching shirts. You need a ball and a bunch of people ready to run.

You’re the one who makes it happen. Count heads, split fair teams — two captains, one pick at a time — and build the field out of whatever’s lying around. Call the close ones and keep it rolling; a quick do-over beats a long argument every time. Know the rules before everybody shows up and you’re the reason the game happens at all.
