Bean-what?

What do you get when you have too many people in one racquetball court with half of them wanting to play racquetball and the other half want to play dodgeball? You get a bunch of idiots running around with racquets trying not to get hit by the ball! That's what you get! But, oh my, is it a good time! Beanball is a fast-paced game that requires a good blend of dodgine ability with racquet control. Bounce the ball off the wall to get other people out, but don't hit them directly or you're the one who's out! It's the only game where the most experienced in the sport can have fun alongside the newest to play. It's a game that's simply complicated and complicatedly simple.

Beanballing with Rain

During lunch today four of us from work played beanball. Those who went to play were John Anderson, Dustin Woodard, Bryan Elkins, and me. We all work at Rain Interactive.

John, Dustin, and Bryan.

John and I going for a high ball while Bryan watches to see who wins the faux tipoff.


This is where John got me out from the back wall because I was taking a picture of him :)

Bryan right after his fake throw to throw off those still in the game.



While John and I were both going for the ball he reverted to his soccer skills and dribbled it away from me. He would have got an out for touching the ball but we were merciful since he didn't realize he couldn't kick it away :)

Bryan jumping in to steal the ball from John.


Another smile of defeat.

Bryan was the victor of the day.

Man, this was a great time. We'll be playing again next Friday, Jan 23, at noon at Gold's Gym. Join us if you're around.

    your pictures are so descriptive, and it's obvious you're having a great time! It almost makes me think you're having more fun than when I'm playing racquetball. But you probably are, because I can get pretty serious : )! Wish I could join you!
