Fleetball

  • QIC: Bounty Hunter and Pebbles
  • When: 07/13/14
  • Pax: World Wide Leader, Italian Job, One-Niner, Ledger, FNG’s: Cracker and Loaf
  • Posted In: The Fort

Eight men braved the blistering 90 plus degree heat for the first recreation sporting event Fleetball and Flag football.

The THANG:

After just placing the boundaries lines we immediately started believing the forecast of 90 plus was accurate, however in true F3 format we did not let that stop us!

After the numerous tweets about playing “Fleetball” that’s what we first started to play. Fleetball is a more manly version of “Ultimate Frisbee” played with a football and A LOT more running! The goal was to complete 2 fifteen minute quarters, however after just 6 minutes into the game and 4 to a team we decided to do 10 minute quarters.

In true football fashion, we audible to play flag football after the quarter so we could at least have a breather in-between plays. At the end of the day the score was Team A – 19 (Bounty Hunter, Pebbles, Cracker, One-Niner) / Team B – 20 (World Wide Leader, Italian Job, Loaf, Ledger).

Even though it was hot, I’d say it was a successful day. We will be putting these types of competitive sporting events together once a month so be on the lookout for the next one coming in August (Details soon to come).
