Always remember the five D's of dodgeball!

Recreational Sports patrons try their best to follow the five D's of dodgeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge, at Medic during Friday Night Line Up at the Siegel Center.

What separates Medic from normal games of dodgeball is the inclusion of its namesake, the medic. The medic has the ability to bring teammates back into the game by tagging them after they get out

Casey Coble, a junior studying psychology, said his favorite part of the game was catching unsuspecting players with a well aimed throw.

“I search for people who aren't looking and I make them pay by hitting them in the face,” Casey said.

Casey said his strategy for ensuring another win for his team was to protect the medic and try to stay close to the middle line of the court.

“It's a lot easier the closer you are when throwing,” he said.

Steven Aliyetti, a sophomore studying forensic science, said the key to winning was being aggressive and not making sloppy mistakes.

Steven said his favorite part of the game was catching hard throws because all the players notice a hard catch and acknowledge it with yelling and clapping.

“It's awesome to get a one hander,” Steven said.

Medic is held Fridays from 2:00 – 4:30 pm in the Siegel Center Activity Center as part of the Friday Night Line Up. Soccer runs from 4:30 – 7, and Volleyball from 7:00 – 8:45.
