WARMUP: SSH, Squats, LB Arm Circles F&B, Casual Harassment of Steely
THE THANG: DOLLYBALL
Count by 2’s, Mr. Pancake Team 2 Lead. All mosey to soccer field – Team 2 with coupons.
Round 1 Split into two teams. First team to 20 wins. – Team that scored: 10 Merkins – Team that got scored on: 10 Hello Dollies
The scoring piled up quickly as PAX discovered the challenge of simultaneously jumping, hitting a volleyball, and maintaining dignity.
Result: Team 2 wins.
Reward for Team 2: 15 Coupon Overhead Presses
Punishment for Team 1: Field suicides with 10 squats at each turning point.
Round 2 Counted off again and formed new teams. Modified rules: – Team that scored: 10 Squats – Team that got scored on: 10 Hello Dollies
To keep everyone honest, the Q introduced the dreaded “Jolene” audible.
Jolene Rule: At random, one unlucky PAX was selected to perform 5 blockees while the game continued without mercy.
The combination of volleyball, coupon work, Hello Dollies, and surprise Blockees produced equal amounts of fitness and comedy.
Time expired before the second game could reach 20.
MARY: None. Time was called before a formal Mary due to the fierce Dollyball competition and excessive time spent watching grown men mistime volleyball jumps.
MOLESKINE: A great way to celebrate one year in F3. Dollyball revealed two universal truths: gravity is undefeated, and hand-eye coordination has an expiration date. Plenty of laughs, plenty of mumble chatter, and just enough athleticism to justify the Hello Dollies.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: ML Rose – 4:13 Strong Benefit – October 21
COT: Prayers for PAX
PLAYLIST: 100% mumble chatter. No speakers needed when you’ve got grown men heckling each other.
