Bootball Tournament Kicks Off in a Few Weeks, Deadline in Two Weeks

The deadline for the Feb. 4 Bootball Tournament is creeping up in two weeks on Jan. 31. Make sure to get your 10v10 coed team registered by then to compete 5:30-10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, under the lights at Bicentennial Park. Bootball is essentially kickball, but played in the snow, wearing winter boots and kicking a giant tennis ball. Fun, fitness and the potential for hilarious results and championships all in one place! Sign up today!
