Budgetball on the Mall - Washington, D.C. - June 14, 2009

Recently, our government's policymakers went face-to-face with college students - not in a debate or a closed-door session, but by getting "fiscal" on the Budgetball battlefield. On Sunday, June 14, the fun began on the National Mall as Washington, DC hosted the first-ever exhibition tournament of Budgetball.

Budgetball is a team sport similar to Ultimate Frisbee and designed to build awareness, especially among young people, about the nation's growing financial challenges and the trade-offs involved in solving them. The tournament was hosted by the National Academy of Public Administration, which helped design the game, and by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, which supported the game's development.
