Kickball is a playground game and competitive league game, similar to baseball, invented in the United States circa 1942.

American World War II correspondent Ernie Pyle reported it being played by U.S. soldiers during the North African campaign, 1942-1943. Also referred to as "soccer baseball," it is typically played on a softball diamond with a 10- to 16-inch (250- to 400-mm) inflated rubber ball. As in baseball/softball, the game uses 3 bases and a "home plate."

Adult recreational kickball leagues began operating throughout the United States, offering an alternative to adult softball and soccer leagues. Adult leagues can be organized by local municipalities, colleges, non-profit associations, and for-profit businesses. The World Adult Kickball Association claims to be the largest adult kickball league in the United States. More kickball history can be found on Wikipedia.

The Burninators (Plymouth Recreational League) got their humble beginning in the 2006 fall season. A group of friends, led by General Manager Joe Larson, decided to gather for some fun and light hearted competition. It was quickly realized that The Burninators were rookies in the league, but they had heart, and they had fun. The Burninators are expected to make a much stronger showing in their sophomore season.
