Dodgeball

In a bold move, encouraged by Jamie, I joined a dodgeball team through the Philadelphia Sports Network. Jamie and a bunch of her friends were getting it together and they needed more ladies to meet the quota. So I said sure. Anyway, the league starts on Thursday and we have the first game. Naturally. Ah well, it's a social/recreational thing so hopefully nobody takes it too seriously. I know my team doesn't. It's every Thursday for six or eight weeks. I can't quite recall but I don't think we'll make the playoffs (unless all the teams make the playoffs) so our season will be shorter.

Now, I don't want to sound defeatist and like I have no faith in my team. But none of us have many skills, at least not that I'm aware. Team spirit? Yes, plenty of that. Not so many skills though. Our color is red though so I'll have to find some red socks and maybe shorts. Face-paint? Potentially. I think I'm the tallest person on the team though. Very nice.

Moral of the story: if you have some spare time on a Thursday night, come down to the 12th St. Gym, wear red, and cheer for my team, Balls to the Face. You'll make friends. Philadelphia Sports Network told me so.
