What? Yes! Episode 183! We continued our series of lesser known sports that are growing in popularity.  So far, we have covered Pickleball, Horseshoe Pitching, Speed Golf, and Extreme Races, Disc Golf, Archery and Ultimate.  We aren’t dodging any sports in this series…that’s why we started off with the intense and competitive sport of Dodgeball!  This energetic sport of throwing, catching and dodging has grown in popularity throughout the country.  One of the most effective and productive advocates of the game is the President of the National Dodgeball League and USA Dodgeball participant Ed Prentiss as he joined us and educated us on the basics, safety and competitions of dodgeball.  Tremendous information! Visit Dodgeball  for more information. 

We also spoke with Coach Kevin Boyer about high school Trap Shooting and college Shotgun sports. As the leader of the national championship team from Logan-Rogersville and current Drury University coach, we learned how this sport has developed and grown over the years.   It has provided several youths in our area a connection and opportunity, as Coach Boyer puts it, “to be a part of something bigger than themselves”. We learned the strategy and skills needed to be successful!

We will continue this series next week with Bass Fishing and eSports!  Email the sport you want covered to acoachsperspective@gmail.com!
