Every team will be offered a space every edition of the Newsletter to submit something funny... write about their game... whatever...and since we’re doing a newsletter every Wednesday of every week, you have plenty of time to come up with something! If your team doesn’t submit anything, and isn’t in the newsletter, talk to your captain!

Ideas for Team Submissions When I say, submit something for your team, here are some ideas: • Play by plays of the game • Document the debauchery at the bar - i.e. describing someone’s amazing acting skills hobbling across the bar with a “sprained ankle” just to Ice a teammate. ] • Draw pictures!!!!! • Favorite quotes, poems, song lyrics, movie scripts, YouTube video, or motivational speeches! • Email chains from the morning after . • Funny pictures of you, your team, or something random on the internet • Give your team member awards - drunkest, loudest, person with the least shame, best off the face catch, etc.! • Anything.

Backyard Sports Club’s email is

[email protected]. I look forward to working with all of you!

** If you need extra time, email me and just let me know.

DISCLAIMER: if you have problems with keeping your language in check, not bashing refs, being overly nasty to other teams, and other no-no’s, the Editor does have the right to not include your write up in the newsletter if the content is deemed inappropriate or out of line. We will try to screen write ups as they are received, will try to let teams know so that they have time to resubmit, but there is no guarantee. The easiest thing to do is to keep it clean, be nice, and remember this is all in good fun.

Sloppy Seconds

Tiger Blood

Chalk it up as another lost for Sloppy. Can we get a win. We try so hard but have no results to mark under the win column. This was a hard fought battle on both sides of the ball. We were missing some key players but we persevered and moved on. Amy Hamilton was a beast on the court. I think she has gotten the hang of it. If I only could follow her lead. We look forward to the last week of games and hopefully we can come together and get a win. Can't wait for the playoffs.

- Jon Reyes

We were off to a good start by winning the first few matches. Once we had a 3 match lead, Sloppy wasn't able to come back. Our strategy worked by getting their top players out early in the game. Sloppy Second's captain, Jon Reyes, had the most impecable aim on the team. If the ceiling were a player, it would get out ALL THE TIME. Haha. I was also within 3 feet of him and he still missed me. We had a great time playing against them.

- James Salgado

Menace 2 Sobriety

Stranger Danger This long-awaited matchup between Stranger Danger and Menace to Sobriety went down in an epic battle of brain vs braun :-) In the end, braun won out when Menace destroyed Danger and barely

broke a sweat! For those who don't know, most of the Menace and Danger members are teammates on the same Thursday night Dodgeball team. All I can say is thank goodness I play with these kids on Thursday because I would hate to get my rear kicked both nights of the week! Both teams played probably our most civilized game of the season, with no nasty trash-talking and no blood spilt... Those teams that have played either of us know how miraculous that is! I want to give a shout-out to all the girls from Menace and Danger for hanging in there for all 13 games in this matchup. MVP goes to the player from the next court who fell through the fence and distracted Menace long enough for us to bring home a match or two! Props to Tom, John, Chris, Heidi and myself for getting

moderately wasted prior to the game and not tossing our cookies on the court. My words of wisdom to those who choose to drink before dodgeball, stay away from the 5 hour energy when you're drinking shooters with Red Bull... It's a bad combination!

- Kelli Medlin

Another week and not 1 win but 2 wins! Our first match up was our very own dodgeball 'Civil War' against Stranger Danger. Most of us are teammates on other dodgeball leagues and it was quite the battle. The final score didn't tell how much of a battle it was to be able to take out a team that knows how we play. But in the end we pulled out the victory (thankfully). The MVP of that match up would have to be Tom, John, and Kelli for getting pretty tipsy before the match up making it a little easier to get them out. :)

- Craig Thomson Horsley

FSR

Hit It & Bounce We busted through all the pregaming buzz and mice pooh on the field (seriously, is anyone else tired of finding this stuff EVERYWHERE?) and pulled out a tie with FSR. The games ran neck & neck pretty much the entire time-- Both teams put everything into this one. I gotta say, I'm damn proud of my team. We got cut off and had to settle with a tie, but hey, no worries... The bar still served us. And I've learned my lesson-- keep score with paper & pen during games... We do pretty good when the scores are actually accurate!

- Becki Wipf

Troop 417

Bing-Bongs and Chick-A-Dees was feeling rather lazy to do the write-up and after a heavy night of drinking with my son at Crazy Wing, I had a hard time remembering all the highlights. So my only solution was to ask my fellow teammates for their thoughts:

James Bacaoan: “During my happy hour drinking I thought… we would brilliantly win both games, each team had great sportsmanship, and the referees were terribly good for knowing the rules and making terrific calls. But in reality we only…” Note to all readers…James had a little too much Happy at Happy Hour so he was a no show to our double header=FAIL!

Jr Whitehurst: “I was only there for the first game. Don’t know anything about the second, but I heard they were cool, so let’s tip our hats to them. Shout out to the refs for knowing the rules and doing a good job.” Tony Barrerra: “We kicked a$$ the first game and got dominated in the second one.” Michael Chu: “We got beat by a good team in our second game.”

I’m proud of my team for hanging in there and playing well against a good team. 7-3 with a lot of games coming down to one or two players is a lot better than 12-0 with an entire opposing team still standing. Here are this week’s awards: • The even if they head hunt me I will still be an

effective player award goes to Mitch. • The “I got out Jay for you award” goes to Steph.

Yes, I am still ecstatic that my sweet pint sized sister intentionally took out my ultra competitive muscle man.

• The title Mr. Invisible goes to Shaun for effectively hiding behind Whiz and letting him get out instead, yeah, I saw you. :)

• The backbone award goes to Hern for standing up for my sister when people were screaming at her and for not backing down on calls all season when being screamed at as a ref.

• The “what’s that guy’s name, I’m going to get him out” award goes to Erin S for picking her targets pregame and making it happen in the game.

• My thanks for coming back despite last week’s ridiculousness award goes to Whiz. Seriously, thanks for coming back, we needed you.

• The you can’t catch my ball award goes to Brooke for making the guys on the other team have slippery fingers.

I'm only giving out one MVP this week and it goes to Tyler because nothing can top catching two balls at once to end the game.

- Erin Freeman

Tiger Blood

Menace 2 Sobriety

Our second game of the evening put us up against Tiger Blood. And with the amount of trash talking on both sides I would have to say that blood was drawn. But Menance 2 Sobriety always cuts the deepest and pulled out an easy 14-3 victory! Our MVP of that game was probably the girls for not beating up myself, Mike, and Ramon for being way too competitive during the match up. As always good luck to everyone else fighting for 2nd place!

- Craig Thomson Horsley

With our momentum coming from the first game, I was feeling pretty good coming into this game. We were out-gunned and out strategized. We won a few matches and lost a lot. If only we could incorporate flip cup, hula hoop contest, and a wooble off to the overall standings, it would be a different story. Tiger Blood literally shook the loss with some booty shakin' at Crazy Wing.

- James Salgado

Page 13: "The Bench" 5th Edition

Rings Around Uranus

Stranger Danger

Danger brought home our second win in a fairly even match-up against Rings Around Uranus. This was our second game in a double header and all of our players were either exhausted or drunk by the time the game started. But we pulled our shit together and rocked it out! Thanks to Barcus for pulling up his shorts and scaring the crap out of the kids watching. This gave Danger the extra kick in the rear to take him out and put an end to the obscene shit-show that is Matt "The Experience" Barcus! Great game Danger...

- Kelli Medlin

I'm gonna keep this short and to the point. We did too much partying in South Florida! We came back slouchy and with no energy! We looked like total NOOBS out there against Shit Kan Tommy's team, and they dominated us. That is all!!! LOL

- Nicky LeBlanc

Page 14: "The Bench" 5th Edition

FSR

Bing-Bongs and Chick-A-Dees Eric Stemm: “Jenny pulled out a couple of solo wins in the first game and who could forget Eric Stevens and his goofy faces…lol” Note to everyone….I promised Jenny that I would buy her shots if she pulled out the wins…and she did! Her shot of choice….why a Red-headed slut of course!

Matt Dupuis and Kristy Villicana (the two lovebirds on our team) were in agreement: We had fun even though we were playing in a sauna and it was hot as all get out!”

Jenny Galligan: “Game two of our double header gave us a run for our money and we lost every last cent of it. FSR kept us in check during the entire game! They would win, then we would win, then they won two in a row and we could never get it back. At one point in this competitive game, one of our gals took a ball to the neck and she wanted to single handedly take out the whole other team - but no such luck we ended the night as losers.... Until we got to the bar, where we had a great night and all went home Winners!”

On a side note, don’t forget to help out Erin of Troop 417! Bring in some toiletries and household items for the homeless!

Page 15: "The Bench" 5th Edition

The Untouchables

Honey Badger Don’t Care

Watching this team play last week against Bing Bongs & Chick-A-Dees, I thought we were heading into a tough matchup. Robbie and I were coming up with strategies to take this team out. “Go for that chick first!” I’m not sure what her name is, but she has the best aim out of anyone we’ve seen. I think the only reason why we were able to shut this team out was because her throwing hand was wrapped up. But as always, The Untouchables played an awesome game. Brett had some diving catches to get people out. Caroline, the last girl standing, has a monster arm…you never want to go one on one with this chick. Robbie had a stellar game, he even bragged about it when we got back to the car (and we all know how humble this kid is!) Great job guys and gals!

Getting naughty with Dannica Patrick!

Page 18: "The Bench" 5th Edition

The Hookup For those who don't know this single giant, Patrick "The Monster" Hannon, is definitely a lovable teddy bear. Whether he's cooking up a storm or storming the dodgeball court, Patrick always has a smile on his face. Ladies, if your single and looking for a guy who is into knitting, watching boring documentaries or playing with his genuine Star Wars light saber, this guy's for you! To find out more, you can check out his personal ad on Craigs List or find him humping his Stranger Danger teammates on the dance floor at Crazy Wing on Friday nights. If you don't know who Patrick is, just look for the only ginormous guy on the dodgeball court who's so tall, he has to bend down for you to see his face :-) If you're interested in a date, see his personal assistant Tom SheetKan Zuppke for times and availability...

Guys, if you haven’t met Tyler Carmack you are truly missing out, she is a beauty queen, both inside and out. If you are tired of mind numbing conversations at the bar and are looking for a girl with substance, this is the girl for you. She recently opened her own veterinary practice, Hampton Roads Veterinary Hospice. She’s traveled around the world including South Africa working with exotic animals, Thailand working with elephants and Cancun working with dolphins. She’s also a rock star of an athlete as many of you have probably been thrown or caught out by her on the softball, wiffleball or dodgeball fields. Tyler can also be found doing volunteer work, hanging with her adorable Lab, Jersey, learning to surf at the beach, grab dinner at a local sushi place, or at the bar having a beer with friends while catching a Penguins or Wolfpack game. If you’re looking for an all around amazing girl, it’s about time for you to meet Tyler, just don’t forget your A game

Gosnold Apartments

About Gosnold Apartments With the adaptive reuse of an RC Cola bottling warehouse, Virginia Supportive Housing (VSH) created Gosnold Apartments, as the first permanent supportive housing development for homeless adults in the region and the first regionally-supported studio apartments for homeless single adults in the nation. This is the first of several buildings of this type that helps to give homeless individuals a second chance. Many of these individuals have physical and/or mental illnesses, some are veterans, some are elderly and others just need a second chance in life. Thursday night a Bingo game is held at Gosnold where the residents win practical prizes (ie: hygiene products, household items, and food) that they are unable to purchase on their own. The individuals that host the Bingo nights purchase these prizes each week and the current economy is leaving resources low making it difficult for this program to continue successfully.

How you can help….. We are asking that individuals contribute what they can to the cause by bringing any of the items listed below, or other similar items, to the dodgeball games on Friday, March 2nd. Possible items include: cleaning products, dish detergent, laundry detergent, toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, aluminum foil, trash bags, body wash, razors, lotion, shampoo, toothpaste, canned goods, etc.

What’s in it for you: Helping out an awesome cause and FREE BEER. The team with the most items collected will win beer and wings for your whole team.

Page 22: "The Bench" 5th Edition

The Dos and DONTs

• DO NOT bring alcoholic beverages to Chilled Ponds. They have a bar there for you to purchase drinks.

• DO clean up after yourselves! Unfortunately, maid service was cut out of Backyard

Sports Club’s budget due to the economy. • DO be friendly to the Refs: Please do not yell at them…just remember, you’re the one

that will look like a jerk if you yell at them. • DO NOT be “that guy.” When you do something stupid, you’re not excluded from any

laws just because you are wearing a Backyard Sports Club t-shirt. • DO NOT leave a fellow dodgeballer behind; we take care of our own. Don’t let your

teammate drink like a champ and drive home. Find the closest decent looking guy/gal, introduce them, and have them go home together.

• DO NOT be bitter. It’s super important that if you end up having a “sleep over” with a

fellow dodgeballer, be cool with them for weeks to follow. We’re a small community, you’re gonna end up seeing them all season! When they drop you off at your car, hug it out, smile…and say “hi” the following week.

• DO NOT try to guess that persons name! • DO go to our sponsor Bar, Eagles' Nest Country Rockin' Bar and Crazy Wing Cantina. It’s

what the cool kids are doing. • DO NOT fight! This is a fun league, HAVE FUN! If you fight, fun’s over for you, you’ll be

kicked out. • DO always wear your Backyard Sports Club shirt. I know laundry once a week may be

too much, so it’s cool if you go a couple weeks without washing….unless you’ve got bad B.O. like Robbie Wright!

• DO NOT smoke in Chilled Ponds!
