Geocache Description:


What is boxball? At certain times of the year 5 and 6 year olds get together here to play soccer. But they don't all run after the ball at once. How can they resist this primal urge which is stronger than gravity? Because of boxes! Yes, boxes. These unique devices, painted on the field, break the bonds between ball and kid, causing them to stop abrubtly and peer longly at the ball as it rolls to a teammate or opponent. As incredible as these boxes are, they have not been able to cause kids to stand up for a full soccer game or notice a ball rolling nearby. That's the parents and coaches job. And when it's all over an even stronger force is unleashed than the urge for the whole team to chase the ball. Yes, I'm speaking of the post game snack! The snack person is like a kid magnet. If you haven't seen boxball, stop by on a Saturday morning in spring. It's fun!

Or, just stop for the cache, placed so it's possible to search when people are around, especially if you have a partner and a frisbee.
