The Team Shower

You have all heard about it if you are in my class, but for those of you who aren’t, I hope you find this to be quite entertaining.

The team shower tradition started after our first victory of the season last semester. We all came back relatively sweaty and or disgusting, and thought a bit of refreshing was due. Therefore, we all decided to bring a CD down to the 2nd floor bathroom in Elliott Hall and all take a shower together, in different stalls of course. This tradition carried on to every game prior to that, and even carried on to the last game we played this past Sunday.

We have moved on from a CD player to an Ipod dock and a team play list that includes music such as Kiss by a Rose by Seal, and Du Hast by Rammstein and Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing, among others. It is played at a relatively loud level, but nothing too loud as to keep from disturbing the fellow hall members.

Other random things that take place during the “Team Shower” period include random pranks, towel theft and impromptu karaoke. All in all it is good for us to begin to relax after a stressful game, and this fun and cleansing activity helps us to do just that.
