Lead by game master (no this is not the Hunger Games) Steve BU. of Colorado we broke into 8 teams. The teams are a mix of the Mongolian clubs, the Inner Mongolia team from China, and our AIA team. Each team had a captain or two from our team and guys and girls from the other clubs. The girls are very competitive here, they want to win and enjoy competing. We played a number of different games and activities. The first day we taught everyone how to play ultimate Frisbee. We did however forget to tell them which side is up on the Frisbee. The first time we played the Frisbee was thrown upside down with varying results. We also played soccer, had push-up, pull-up, sit-up contests, and a tug of war. It was fun to see the coaches of the other clubs jump in and play a few of the games. Often times the coaches are fairly reserved and they sit at the coaches table(or the adult table like at our holidays) for all the meals. It was fun to see them loosen up and enjoy themselves with the athletes. The games have really seem to draw the teams together. We have been mostly injury free. Steve BA. our staff in Mongolia was attacked by a gopher hole and sprained his back and ankle. He fought through it and did the tug of war. Steve BA. is a very active guy and enjoys the fun. he has really bridged the gap for us between Mongolia/China and our AIA team. One of the girls did get kneed in the face by accident by one of our guys but she is fine and continued to play for the most part.
