Dodgeball for Adults


By: Melanie Brooks



When was the last time you played dodgeball? Fifth grade? Maybe sixth? If you had joined the Bangor Rec Adult Dodgeball League this spring you could have played last night!

Tim Baude, the recreation programmer at the Bangor Parks and Rec department, decided to bring back the adult dodgeball league after a hiatus. It had been popular in the past with 8 teams on the roster -- this year however there are only four. Trying to get the word out is the hardest part.

Regardless, the four teams that signed up have been fierce competitors. I'm on the team called The Whippets and although we practically got skunked last night at the Armory by Fourth Grade Recess from Glenburn, we still had a lot of fun.


With adult dodgeball leagues sprouting up all over the country, it's about time Bangor got into the mix. "I've really missed being on a team," says Jennifer Sonnenberg. "I love team sports! It's fun to run around with a bunch of adults acting like idiots."

Nobody enjoyed this game more than the janitor.
