When. May 22, 5–7 p.m.
Where. Murray field (behind Health Partners)
We hope to feature outdoor games of soccer and volleyball. We will have two teams register for three-a-side competitions in the soccer game category and two teams for the volleyball category. Each team is expected to choose the name they will prefer for their team and are welcome to encourage those who will attend to cheer a team as they play. (Meaning, there will be something to do for everyone who shows up). Light refreshment will be provided after the game. Kindly register your team online. And come prepared to win a trophy with your team.
