Sloshball

The Koala has been playing sloshball for as long as anyone can care to remember. We have an annual game with The Guardian the Saturday after Sungod. We typically host a Slosh Ball League every spring quarter. Games used to be held on Warren Field, before it became a bunch of Engineering buildings. Due to the Draconian Alcohol policy of Joe Watson, our Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs, games are held off-campus.

If anyone or group is interested in challenging The Koala to a sloshball game, please email us.
