 THE STICKNY Emperors Stickball
In recent years, it’s become a little harder to organize pickup stickball games around the stoop. Mostly
since you have a doorman, not a stoop. So fellow stickball players have banded together to start a league.
Consider it double duty for your ice broomball stick.
 THE BOATSKayak Polo
In the high-stakes world of kayak polo, you can’t hold the ball for more than five seconds, but you can
“tackle” other players. As in, capsizing their kayaks with a firm shove. It’s also the only sport
where you have a choice of passing the ball with your hands or your paddle. Someday, Ralph Lauren will
emblazon your silhouette onto a shirt.
 THE BOWSUrban Bowhunting
With winter fast approaching, you’re undoubtedly starting to worry about your bowhunting skills getting
rusty. Fortunately, there’s an indoor archery range with animated life-size projections, thus saving you
from actually going out and bowhunting in public.
 THE BALLSPétanque
Sure, you could get your own set of pétanque balls, pull up with a bottle of pastis at your favorite mound
of dirt and start playing. Or you could make a bid for international competition, compete in tournament play
and become conqueror of the mounds of dirt (and regional aperitifs) in distant lands.
