If you’re looking to relieve the stress of school while having fun with classmates, for a big group of 鶹Ƶ Law students and a few of their friends, there may have been no better way this fall than booting a rubber ball around a baseball diamond.
It’s a bonus when you finish on top of the divisional standings against 10 other teams in a citywide kickball league.
Calling themselves “Attractive Nuisances” and wearing 鶹Ƶ Law apparel, the team competed nearly every week from mid-August through early October at Carolyn Allen Park in northwest Greensboro. “Attractive Nuisances” concluded the regular season best in the Monday Beginner division standings before tying for third in league playoffs.
Students from 鶹Ƶ Law first fielded a kickball team last spring after previously taking part in a city softball league. Kickball seemed easier for the players, said fall season team manager Gordon Cathcart L’23, and “it isn’t stressful.”
“It’s also easier to make sure everybody on the team gets to play every game,” he said. “And by joining a team, either softball or kickball, you get to know classmates you otherwise don’t get a chance to see outside of class.”
