Cabrini offers open sports as campus activity

You may often hear “Dodge ball! Dodge Ball!” being yelled across campus Tuesday nights around 9 p.m. This is the voice of Andrew Pillar.

Pillar, a junior social work major, started dodge ball during his freshman year. “I was just looking for something to do on a Tuesday night instead of sitting in my room,” Pillar said. Since then dodge ball has been a constant game every Tuesday night in the Dixon Center from 9 p.m to 11 p.m.

Dodge ball is one of the open sports Cabrini offers to students throughout the year. Other open sports include ultimate Frisbee, soccer, volleyball and basketball. Each sport gets together once or twice a week and is always looking for new players.

“Open sports are a great way to get out, exercise, try new things and meet new people,” Orlin Jespersen, director of clubs and recreation, said.

This is the first time open sports have been scheduled activities. “It’s just starting to get off the ground,” Jespersen said. “As the word gets out, we’ll start seeing a lot more participants.”

Kate Walck, sophomore psychology major, said.
