Glow in the dark volleyball

What to expect on March 4

Saturday, March 4, the Residential Life team will be hosting a fun, new type of tournament in the Thunderdome for everyone to participate in: A glow-in-the-dark volleyball tournament!

What is glow-in-the-dark volleyball? Social Student Dean Sidney Needles said, “The balls will glow in the dark and the nets will have lights on them. We’ll also have glow sticks and glow in the dark face paint.” This tournament will be officially organized.  “We’re keeping the tournament pretty organized with qualified referees and line judges,” she said. “Since teams will be playing for prizes, we want to make sure the rules are enforced correctly and everyone plays fair.”

When asked about the inspiration for this event, Needles said, “Glow in the dark dodgeball has been moderately popular in the past, so we merged that concept with volleyball because late-night volleyball has consistently had large turnouts.”

How do you participate in such an event like this? Simply sign up with five other friends! Even if you don’t want to participate, there will be snacks and drinks available for bystanders. “At Residential Life, one of our biggest goals is for people to have the opportunity to have fun together and enjoy community,” said Needles. “We’re always trying to think of convenient, fun ways to make this happen.”

This event is a must-see and I hope to see you all there!
