ooh, Burns!: Mary had a little BAM!

This past weekend, our church held the youth Dodgeball Tournament to raise funds for youth summer mission trips.

My co- leader and I played with four of the girls in our small group. Two of the girls had played last year, while the rest of us were all new this year. But we weren't going to let a mostly new team keep us from winning! DC and I knew we could win - we even had strategies to win:

Post-Tourname smiles!

Strategy #1: Only attempt to catch the ball if you are absolutely sure you can catch it.

Strategy #2: If possible, take out their strongest player first

Strategy #3: Pray for DC and KB to be kind and have good, humble attitudes (DC and KB are a bit competitive - we really wanted to win)

Strategy #4: Three people will run for the balls at the whistle and bat their assigned balls back to the rest of the team

Strategy #5: Throw at the opposing team's feet. Its harder to catch that way.

Strategy #6: One person just needs to be a body - stay in and only dodge balls because if time runs out, the team with the most people still on the court wins (We lost that way once. Never again!)

We walked away from the night 2 - 2, but still had a blast. Besides, we know (in our hearts) that we won for best team name, which was "Mary had a Little BAM!"
