Glow Dodgeball is going to the “extreme”

Kingsport’s Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a one-day Glow Extreme Dodgeball event later this month at the Lynn View Community Center.

Glow events are when participants wear neon or white clothes, the lights to a gym are turned off and the black lights are turned on. Everyone then “glows” in the dark while running around and playing a game.

And unlike a normal Glow Dodgeball event, this “Extreme” event will throw a curve ball to seasoned players. Typically, barricades and structures are in place for players to hide behind. During the Glow Extreme Dodgeball event, the barricades and structures will slowly be removed throughout the course of the round.

The event will take place on Oct. 22 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Lynn View Community Center gym (257 Walker Street). All ages are welcome to attend and the cost is $2 per person. Pre-registration is required.
