Oozeball ( Mud Volleyball) is the game played during Summer months in some Universities. I had chance to watch the game for couple of hours, back in schools days. The atmosphere was awesome, lots of mud, students, water, trash can filled with mud filled shoes,…. Each team will have 6 players ( 3 Guys and 3 Girls) to maintain the balance of the team. Oozeball is played on atleast 8 inches of mud. Mud-court is specially prepared for the event.There were 4 courts and so many teams. Games will be knockout and teams that survives the mud, water, fun for all the games will be winner. They had big tanks of water to clean-up the players in between matches. The fun part is, players should wear shoes while playing. So, they duct tape the shoes, before entering in the field.
( Picture from The Shorthorn ) ( For more pictures )My roommate was par of a team, they lost in semi-finals, but he was ready to throw away a nice Nike shoes and ofcourse the cloths too. If you happen to be in a school where Oozeball is played in Summer, keep an eye out for emails/circulars and make sure you will have a team ready to dive-in.
