💨 Abstract

Kickball, introduced by a Peace Corps volunteer in 1964, has become Liberia's second-most popular sport after soccer, exclusively played by women. The National Kickball League, established in 1994 as a reconciliation effort post-civil war, faces funding challenges. Players like Perryline Jimmie and Saydah A. Yarbah aspire to expand the sport's influence, including coaching men and boys in the future, despite current gender barriers.
