Yup. To pass the time every friday we have a competition. Groups of eight battle it out on the basketball court. Head shots count and you better pay attention if your a spectator. No mercy, we try to kill each other with the volley ***** we use. Winning team members get 20 bucks. Bordom in the desert. My team won last week. Something to look forward to during the week.

What's the challenge with the nerf ball? Takes away from the fun when you remove risk of injury... we used to play tackle football when the school's fields were covered in snow in the winter. Only "padding" we had was the snow pants & jackets we wore. Took 3 guys to tackle me! Our favorite play was a short pass to me, and watch how long it takes them to slow me down until 2 more guys can catch up... then how many steps could I take with three guys jumping on me! Ah, the memories... to be young & stupid... felt nice being invincable back then.
If everyone are adults and you're paying your own medical bills you can run into a tree at full speed just to see what happens. I just see too many kids into extreme sports, doing crazy stuff and getting hurt and thinking it's a lot of fun, while mom and dad are footing the bills and wondering if Jr is going to ever walk again.

Why play with volley ***** and not those Burgundy colored inflatable rubber playground *****? It seems like they might be a little more forgiving on those "head shots".
We used to play dodge ball on fridays when I was stationed in Okinawa. I thought it was a great idea. We'd play on a tennis court. It let us take our frustrations out on each other in a controlled environment. Good deal. By the sound of some of these replies, seems like we need to get some teams together and have a FTE Dodge Ball Championship. Maybe we could do teams by state and area forums!
We used to do it on motorcycles. We would tie up a tennis ball in a sock and the one who was "it" would hold it in his teeth and chase the others until he was able to hit someone with the ball - making them "it" - lots of fun if played in rough country.
