Late night dodgeball has proven to be a hit at Roanoke College in Virginia. Every Friday night (or rather, Saturday morning) from midnight until about 3am, students gather to play.
The Roanoke Times reports the dodgeball club started about five years ago. Many students find the late night playing to be a good alterative to partying.
“I don’t drink. I don’t smoke,” said Harvey Porter, an organizer and college junior. “It’s Friday. It’s 12. I want to have fun.”
Big Kids Dodgeball is back with another monthly tournament in Boston next weekend.
Teams of seven will play four rounds of dodgeball before heading into the playoffs. And they say there will be “awesome prizes” for 1st place.
So get out there all you Beantowners, and play some dodgeball.
I guess that blog entry title is more for me. It’s been awhile since I posted, and it’s also been awhile since I played dodgeball. I just started up again Monday night and it’s great to be playing again, although my elbow is a little sore now. My team The Soviet Super Soldiers had a solid win and I hope we can keep it up. Our team is pretty tight. I took the summer off playing this year, and in turn, I guess I took the summer off blogging too. I’ve missed it, and I’m back, so please send me all your dodgeball news, league and tournament announcements, or just say hi, here.
Thanks for reading and happy dodgeball!
A funny video from that site you can’t help but love: College Humor. Great audio. You’ll see what I mean when the red rubber starts a-flyin’. Found this on Mojo Slam!
The Boston Globe has reported that a group of university students’ 10 second game of dodgeball over the equator in Ecuador will not be accept as a world record.
I just found this on YouTube and I have played against some of these guys. I love when that happens. Click here to watch this dodgeball video story. These teams play in the Toronto Central Sport and Social Club.
This Saturday, pro dodgeball slinger Rob “Hometown” Immel from the New York Epic will be at Mercer Madness Dodgeball Tournament at the Mercer County Skating Rink in West Windsor, to scout out new talent in the hopes of forming New Jersey’s own pro dodgeball team.
Each team will be charged a $100 entry fee and can have a maximum of 10 players. Cash prizes will be awarded!
This Friday, the Coastal Carolina Healthcare Center is sponsoring a dodgeball tournament Friday to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
It’s a great cause and more than 200 people came out last year, raising $1,600. Hopefully this year will raise even more funds!
I wonder if dodgeball has been banned from their school… these kids need to play some dodgeball, damn!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day, PATCHES O’HOULIHAN!!!
