Cheng Cohen has embarked on a new quest this summer: conquering Glow-in-the-Dark kickball. In April, 9 members of the Cheng Cohen team, frequently joined by a host of friends and family, formed a team, coined Motion to Strike (sue us, we’re a fan of legal puns) and joined the Chicago Sport & Social Club’s Glow-In-The-Dark Coed Kickball League.

Motion to Strike’s core team members include Amy Cheng, Amy Cmiel, Shelbey, Andrew, Alexandra, Kaitlyn, Breanne, Kristina and Madison. The team numbers are often rounded out by the host of family and friends that come to support. We’ve been having a blast and, surprisingly, have had very few injuries (allegedly), which is the true feat for a Chicago sports league. Our 2025 season will be coming to a close in the next few weeks and although we may not have conquered kickball yet, there’s always next year…
