Coming Soon To “The Bench” Near You Every team will be offered a space every edition of the Newsletter to submit something funny... write about their game... whatever...and since we’re doing a newsletter every Wednesday of every week, you have plenty of time to come up with something! If your team doesn’t submit anything, and isn’t in the newsletter, talk to your captain! Ideas for Team Submissions Then email them to me at backyardsportsclub@gmail.com
When I say, submit something for your team, here are some ideas: • Have a single teammate? Submit him/her for “The Hookup” • Document the debauchery at the bar - i.e. describing someone’s amazing acting skills hobbling across the bar with a “sprained ankle” just to Ice a teammate. ] • Draw pictures!!!!! • Favorite quotes, poems, song lyrics, movie scripts, YouTube video, or motivational speeches! • Email chains from the morning after . • Funny pictures of you, your team, or something random on the internet • Give your team member awards - drunkest, loudest, person with the least shame, best off the face catch, etc.! • Anything. Really. Someone on your team is creative.
Submissions are due EVERY Tuesday by 11 am.

Double Pitcher Contests
Backyard Sports Club’s email is backyardsportsclub@gmail.com. I look forward to working with all of you! DISCLAIMER: if you have problems with keeping your language in check, not bashing refs, being overly nasty to other teams, and other no-no’s, the Editor does have the right to not include your write up in the newsletter if the content is deemed inappropriate or out of line. We will try to screen write ups as they are received, will try to let teams know so that they have time to resubmit, but there is no guarantee. The easiest thing to do is to keep it clean, be nice, and remember this is all in good fun.

Dopplegangers Ya’ll!!! I mean, YA’LL! Do these guys not have a resemblance to the GJL?!?! The Gordon Joseph Levitt?!?! Not only do we have 1, we have THREE GJL’s in our league.
The FUnnies 10x World Syncronized Dodgeball Champs
The Caren/Joe Showdown More specifically…Joe’s Face!
Yo! Let the Girls PLAY I’ll take that. Thanks!
Who should we aim for?
Dude, you take that one, I’ll take the one out of her hand!
Dammit, Jon! You’re sleeping on the couch! Nope!
Beautiful Faces of Dodgeball Dodgeball faces are THE BEST faces! It’s like a sneeze…nobody has control over what your face looks like when you throw, get hit or dodge. If you think you’re safe from our camera’s…think again!
Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey If I would have signed up on time, I wouldn’t have to wear this shirt. Ain’t no way I’m running.
You know…just back here practicing for Swan Lake.
Aww, dangit! Balls to the chin, again!??!
Love you too!
The Hookup THIS IS PAT
THIS IS ADAM
Ladies, here is my first treat to you. His name is Pat Datsko. Pat is a single, disease free young professional looking for a nice young woman who can keep up with him. This stud loves the Yankees and the Panthers. He is also a fellow Notre Dame football fan, GO IRISH! (This was written by Equitan cause Charm is obviously a TN Vols fan) and an ODU alum. He is a Physical Therapist, so he knows his way around the human body! Out of around 20 social sports seasons/tournaments, he owns about 10 championships. He has winning genetics on par with Tom Brady. So if you want to be his Giselle and groom little Olympians one day, just say “hi” to him at Eagle’s Nest, or you can just randomly add him on Facebook. It’s 2018, that’s not weird anymore!
For the second treat, I present to you the other Datsko! Adam is Pat’s younger brother. Like Pat, Adam is a disease free, young professional. He loves everything Yankees, Packers and Penn State football. Some of his interests are hiking, long walks on the beach, and playing sports. He too has many championships under his belt with Backyard Sports. Also, an ODU alum, Adam works in the world of finance. Invest some time with this guy because he is probably going to take over Wall Street someday. He can be your Leonardo DiCaprio (minus the cocaine.) All jokes aside, he is a super solid dude. Find him at the bar and take this baseball player to first base…or third!
