"Hi how ya doin I'm Ed of the Ball Busters." "Oh, hi I am Matt of Balls Deep. Nice to meet you." Then Ed leans over whispering to his co-captain Kelly so Matt doesn't hear, "Balls Deep! That sounds like it really hurts!" Ed entering back into conversation, "Say Matt, where did that team name come from?" Matt grimaces then points and says "That's a question you should ask them." His finger menacingly pointing towards Adam and Jim, team captains of Gags On Ur Balls. "Hey Adam, what's with the deal with Balls Deep?" Adam gargles "argh argh argh." Ed leans back to Kelly and whispers again, "Oh, I see. Poor guy."
Glory Days Sports management quelled the tension by starting to go over the league rules and player expectations in regarding referees. This went on for a few minutes. As Mark DeNafo of GDS wrapped up his speech, all eyes peered at the clock. Everyone was now bubbling with excitement as the clock read 7:00 pm; Time to get started.
Everyone rushed out of the room and headed straight to their respective court. All of the refs individually called together their two opposing teams, went over a couple more things and then surprisingly Bruce Buffer of the UFC falls out of the sky and exclaims, "LET'S GET READY TO RUUUMBLEEEE!" Wow, Bruce Buffer kicking it off! Glory Days Sports really knows how to get things started!
Unbelievably awesome, fast paced action was the story of the night. Was it the adrenaline rush for the start of the first ever Dodgeball League in South Jersey? Or was it the perfectly chosen setting of The Flyers Skate Zone after months of research by Glory Days Sports? Probably, a little of both mixed in with teams comprised of players that are some of the finest athletes in all the land! I mean that! Did you see the players of Sweaty Balls? These guys look more like NFL Linebackers. All of them about 6'3" with bodies tighter than the lips of the Sloppy Hairless Chihuahuas (the opponent of Balls Deep on Wednesday night of course).
The evening could not have gone any better. It appeared that every single person involved had smiles on their faces. Running around, dodging, ducking, diving...it was AWESOME!
We look forward to an amazing first season with everyone. Please bring the same excitement every Wednesday.
Until next time...this is Jamie Connor signing off!
***Rule Changes***
1. A neutral zone will be implemented starting week 2. During the "rush" at the start of each game, players will now be required to retreat back after grabbing a ball, to the neutral zone line (it will clearly marked and explained before the start of the next games) before throwing at your opponent. This line is only in play during the "rush". Once a player returns back to this line play resumes as before.
2. More official games will be played each night. Instead of the 9 games per night we originally had, we will now be playing 13 games per night.
3. "Pinching" is illegal. The act of squishing or squeezing a ball excessively before you throw it. A referee will use their judgement and call you out, if you are seen Pinching a ball.
