Broomball

Last night was Broomball! For the Mt. Oak readers, you know what that is! It brought back so many memories of high school! For those that don't know what it is, it is the best game ever. We rented out a skating rink after they closed, from 11 to 1. It is basically hockey except you wear tennis shoes, and you have "brooms" or broom-like paddles and hit a ball into the goal. Our students planned it, so they set it up with a middle school court and high school court. It was craziness. They set it up tournament style, so each team played like 4 or 5 games and the games were only 4 minutes long with 1 minute transition time. So when time was up, four teams ran off the court and four ran on, which was comical since they were on ice!
Our students had so much fun! Most of them had never played before so it was a new experience. The point of the event was to bring friends from school to a non-threatening chruch experience. Here are some pics:
