In Defense of Dodgeball


One of our youth leaders, Larry Lowe took this photo of our youth group playing dodgeball

We play every Sunday night.

We use special foam-core, non-stinging dodgeballs.

It is fun.

I think there is a reason for this title....

Really? Dodgeball can be fun? I'm highly skeptical, seeing as how no amount of therapy can undo some playground experiences during my elementary years.

I like that picture.

I also have scars from dodgeball in elementary & middle school. However, the outlook for my relationship with dodgeball might have been brighter had we played with balls made of foam.

Like Laura's, my scars are emotional not physical!

I loved dodgeball, with the exception of the occasional zig when I should have zagged. Oh, and never try to dodge a ball by jumping in the air in a leap frog fashion (unless of course you're extremely confident in your vertical jump).

In the immortal words of Patches O'Houlihan, "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."

We had 70 kids sunday night. about 50 of them stayed to play. It was awesome.

Jenni, in your experience here I would say that kickball might have given you more reason to fear. ha ha. (I'm all right...I'm all right, I can't walk, but I am all right)

I'm thinking that dodgeball is listed in the dictionary like this:

Dodgeball: The working out of excess testosterone by pre-adolescent and adolescent boys. The boy must lean back like a baseball pitcher, lodge dodgeball between bent hand and wrist, make horribly mean faces and hit a girl or one of your best buddies with the flying orb as hard as you can -under legal circumstances.

Happy Birthday Tony!!

This has nothing to do with this blog although I will say that I was the deal when it came to dodgeball during p.e.. Anyway, Happy Birthday Uncle Tony! Also, I forgot the url to your blog so I had to google it and did you know that there actually is a Tony's taco stand in Camp Wood, TX? You should check it out.

Again, Happy Birthday!

Love you.
