Sure, the scoreboard might not have been in their favor, but Dumpster Fire lit up the pitch in all the right ways—just maybe not the ones that win championships. With more laughs than goals and more good times than clean sheets, this team turned every match into a party. They may not have dominated the league, but they definitely dominated team spirit. Here's to a season of friendship, flair, and fiery determination—Dumpster Fire style.

Since their debut in 2018, the Generalized Otters have just completed their seventh exciting year of volleyball at the YMCA.

We weren't in it for the strikes—or the competition. "No Shop Talk" was a laid-back bowling league where the only goal was to relax, knock down a few pins, and enjoy each other's company. No scores, no rivalries, and definitely no work talk—just good times, bad bowling, and plenty of laughs.
