Sports For Kids
I am thinking about a baseballl team next spring that could play in the diamond in Jinzhou, where the Japanese community already has a kids team. Apparently there is a Chinese kids team that plays at a school in the city. As well, there is talk of soccer (football) in Kaifaqu for kids in the fall. Inline hockey is another distinct possibility.
