A way fun group, we play a friendly and mellow game with unbounded end zones and no stall count, are open to beginners through gods, and the wide range of players means you can almost always find matchups close to your level of skill, speed, stamina, and motivation.

Not making any specific Covid-related game changes at this time.
We have been meeting as a private group for 4 years and now want to expand into a larger public group as the warmer months of the year approach. We welcome people of all skill levels. Among our members are newbies and veterans, all of us loving teaching the game and competing in friendly competition.
We play by some house rules that are very similar to the actual game, but adapt it to be a little more approachable for newcomers.
If you are interested and love this game as much as we do, feel free to contact me, and I'll help you get connected.
