2010 Photo-A-Day

Mar 19, originally uploaded by rmom352.

Last weekend was the BEST weather so far of 2010! This photo is from our youth group retreat. The game they are playing is called GaGa or Israeli Dodgeball. There is an 8-sided playing court on a cement floor. The side walls are about 4'high and constructed of decking wood. The ball is about 1/3 the size of a soccer ball. You can hit the ball with one hand to try and hit other players below the knee to get them out. NO kicking. It goes pretty fast and about 20 kids start the game in the court. The kids played this until midnight Friday and Saturday night. There were a few bruised fingers from scraping on the cement floor.
