We will be forming 4 person all athlete teams again this year. If you want to form your own team, please confirm with your teammates and then let us know.  If you do not have a team, we will assign you to a team.

Please contact Dave (dbogdan@ieee.org) or Karen Bogdan (kraze1@comcast.net) at 865-3840 to sign up.  Remember, this is a team sport and your team will be at a disadvantage at the competition if anyone is absent. Therefore, everyone must commit to competing on Sunday January 25th.


NOTE: All athletes MUST have a current medical on file PRIOR to the start of practice or you will not be allowed to start practice!  If you are not sure your medical is current, please contact Karen Bogdan at 865-3840.
