Dodgeball: A Game of Stealth and Speed
Monday marked the first of ten evenings of dodgeball madness for me, my husband and several of our other teaching buddies. We've joined a rec league at the local community centre. We tried, with no success, to get our friendly neighbourhood wing and beer pub to sponsor us (in hopes of being able to get really fun uniforms). Monday arrived and not only did we have no uniforms, but we had no real team name!
Here were some of the suggestions:
Balls Deep
Professor Pain and the Ball Busters
The Rabbits (Who are we kidding? We're no threat to anyone!)
Mitchondrion: The Powerhouse of the Cell (I know what you're thinking, but it wasn't me!)
It was awful how brutally the other team wiped the floor with us. They won 15 games and we won 5. I feel the need to point out that we were painfully honest about the rules and the other team was less so. Regardless, they WERE a more skilled (possibly more youthful) and a much more competitive group of dodgeballers than us. We can certainly take the experience and learn from it.
The nameless team shall only move forward from here!
(However, over the next few days we won't be moving very quickly - dodgeball certainly can stiffen up the dominant side of your body)
