Squadron Sports Night

On Monday, March 14, 2016, our Squadron hosted one of many sports nights.  In this particular sports night, cadets played variations of the game dodge ball.  The night started with a simple warm up to get the blood flowing and everyone's muscles ready to play. Next were the games.  The parade square was divided into three sections.  The first section was reserved for Doctor Dodge Ball.  It is a very simple game, consisting of all players on the team and one selected doctor who can bring eliminated players back to life.  Unfortunately, if your doctor is eliminated, you and your team are left helpless.

In the second section, King's Court Dodge Ball was played.  This is a variation of dodge ball in which players must move to the opposing team's jail (a small area with boundaries) if they are eliminated.  To get back in, eliminated players must catch dodge balls from their own team members while they are in the jail.  Finally, in the third section, was the game Pin Ball Dodge Ball. The objective of this game was to knock down 3 of the opposing team's pins (water bottles).  These pins were set up behind the teams so that they had the opportunity to protect them.  All in all, these variations of dodge ball brought up the spirit and morale of 111 Pegasus Squadron.  Through the wonderful organization of Warrant Officer Second Class Cho, her enthusiastic sports staff, and the NCOs who lent a helping hand, the night went incredibly well.  The most important aspect of this night was that the cadets had fun.  One of the aims of the Air Cadet program is to promote physical fitness.  Evidently, through the laughs, smiles, sweat, and cheers of the cadets, this aim was thoroughly accomplished.
