Get Outta Dodge
On Saturday, Jan. 18, ASB held its first major event of the school year: “Glow-in-the-Dark Dodgeball” in the Thunderdome! Here’s a fun fact about me: I’m secretly a pretty big fan of dodgeball. Well, I mean, not so much the getting hit piece. That part really hurts. But the thrill of dodging some confident sucker’s throw is absolutely exhilarating. So, needless to say, I was majorly looking forward to heading over to the Thunderdome that Saturday night.
Glow-in-the-dark dodgeball is more or less exactly what it sounds like. After the lights were flicked off, the individual glow sticks and balls lit the way. Throwing the bright neon balls and keeping a close eye on other peoples’ bracelets was a fun twist on a classic sport. Even watching from the sidelines for a bit proved to be entertaining due to the bright colors.
I definitely wasn’t the only one who enjoyed myself. In the words of local sports and general enthusiasm enthusiast Olivia Jacobs, “I’ve never actually had the chance to participate in glow-in-the-dark dodgeball, so it was a really unique experience, especially compared to just plain-old dodgeball. I thought it was even really fun to just watch all the teams play, and I’d try to figure out who each person was while I did that.”
So, do I feel this event delivered? Oh, absolutely it did! I had a magnificent time! The Thunderdome was a perfect venue for this event. The spacious amount of room made for a number of creative plays. The lines on the floor fulfilled a weird sense of middle-school nostalgia. Overall, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, as can be expected from any Union event. I’m super pumped to see what’s next on ASB’s calendar of events.
