Delicia Gipson and Dennis Leonardo (both MFD) spend their
workdays
in the Document Control department (A&E, Bldg. 40). They are
always
looking for ways to have fun and burn calories. In the
beginning, they played
Frisbee but now they spend their lunch time on The Green
playing Paletas.
This two-player sport originated on the beaches of Brazil. A
tennis ball is
struck back and forth between the two players using Paleta
paddles. The
object of the game is to keep the ball up; it can not hit
the ground. If, while
you are playing, the ball lands at your feet, your opponent
scores a point.
Gipson and Leonardo never really keep score—they only look
forwards to the
physical challenge and activity.
