Kickball is one of the easiest sports to play, and next month a tournament featuring the sport will come to Tuscaloosa County.

The charity tournament, hosted by Coaling Baptist Church, will benefit a great cause. All proceeds will go to Defend the Orphans, a ministry-based nonprofit seeking to spread the Gospel to orphanages around the world.

Anyone who wants to play can form a team, and there are two divisions: adults and students. Student teams have the ability to have two players over the age of 19, but that is the limit. Team names also have to be family-friendly.
