Glow Ball

Dawgpound posting for Blue Hen


Warm Up:

The Q welcomed the two FNG’s (Tailpipe and Homie) to the group, short disclaimer, and then it was time to get moving.  After a few up and down running the hill near the basketball court the PAX were lead to the Salmander HSHM Finish line ramp.

  • Boat Canoe X 20 (Fan Favorite)
  • Little Baby SSH X 20 (The old Q had some low mumble chatter about winging the Q… c’mon man you know better)
  • Good mornings X 20
  • Merkins X 20

The Workout:

From the bottom of the ramp broad jump burpees were called out.  An audible was called to stop half way and run up to the top of the ramp.  Plank hold for the six and we were off to the wall.  People’s chair Indian run for one round and then a group run down to the basketball courts.

Everyone got in groups of three while the Q ran to get a glow soccer ball out from the bush it was hidden  in prior to the start of the fun. When Q’ing I enjoy trying out new things.  Crab soccer was a success and the PAX has enjoyed Ultimate Frisbee so Glow Basketball made sense to introduce.  The PAX dived into three groups.  Group one would run around Ting park.  Stopping at the bottom of the ramp for 10 burpees, top of the ramp 20 merkins, and top corner 10 more burpees before returning to the courts.  The other two faced off on an intense game of Glow Ball.  Rules: Double full court (either basket on each side counted), no dribbling or running with the ball, if the ball hit the ground, everyone did a merkin and the other team got the ball, if a team scores, the other team had to do a burpee (there were not many scores).

Observations from Glow Basketball: 1. The Southwake Pax have very limited basketball abilities 2. Dawgpound brings the intesity just like Ultimate 3. The SouthWake Pax can’t jump 4. Playing basketball in the dark makes it very difficult to know what team you are on 5. Emeril should stick to hockey.

After each group did their run around Ting park that was a wrap with 10 minutes for Mary and COT.

Mary:

6 inch leg hold (10 count) right into 33 inch leg hold (10 count) right into 45 inch leg hold right into American Hammers (10 count) right into Freddie Mercury (10 count) right into boat canoe (10 count).

Announcements:
Prayer:

It is always an honor to lead this group.  Prayers were lifted for CrabLegs, Ausfart, and those unspoken.
