Hooverball

really?

I've heard of it. It's kind of like volleyball with a medicine ball, but instead of bumping and spiking the ball over the net, because it would be nearly impossible and very painful to try to bump and spike a medicine ball, you are allowed to catch the ball and then throw it over the net. It was actually invented by Herbert Hoover who played it on White House grounds and made his Cabinet members participate. It always sounded kind of fun, especially if you're short like me and don't spike well.

I checked Wikipedia and lo and behold, there it is. It's now in the sports list.

Since my dog's name is Hoover, do I get to log it as a workout when I throw a bll to her in the yard?  She is pretty lazy and usually will not even go to fetch it!
