We play warm up games for the first 15-20 minutes of class to get people moving before footwork. These are the current injuries for each warm up game throughout the course of MFA's existence.
1. Wall Ball
-1 broken collarbone, 1 concussion, 1 seizure
2. Capture the Flag
-1 broken nose, several twisted ankles, 2 bloody noses
3. Ultimate Frisbee
-countless hits, 1 cleating
4. Soccer
-2 bloody noses, 3 rolled ankles, 2 cleatings
5. Glove tag
-1 destroyed pair of shorts
Wall Ball's position at the top is unfair as it was one of the only games we ever played for the first few years. Capture the flag should probably be at the top because someone got hurt every time we used to play it. For some reason, people at this club get violent when they play CTF. Ultimate incites a bit of intensity but is otherwise pretty light. Soccer is what we usually play to warm up with. The students get competitive about it, but they also seem to respect the fact that no one is wearing shin guards, reducing injuries in one of the more intense games we play. Glove tag resulted in the destruction of my favorite pair of shorts when someone went to grab my glove, and basically clawed a hole into my pants.
