Last Open Scrimmage, Sunday Feb 19th

The Quadfathers will be hosting our last off-season co-ed open scrimmage on Sunday Feb 19th

We've had a great turn out for Dec 18th and Jan 22nd, and everyone has had a really fun time.

The next date will be run the same, with teams split depending on numbers. $5 per skater admission fee for skaters; refs and NSO's are free (and much appreciated!).

Sunday Feb 19th- arrive as early as 12, start warming up at 1pm, announcements and scrimmages start at 1:30. We can skate until 4pm. We usually do  3X 30 min periods with some open skating at the end.

All skaters who have passed WFTDA/MRDA minimum skills assessments are welcome to participate. All skaters must be comfortable in a co-ed scrimmage environment. Everyone needs one black and one white shirt with at least their player number on it. Our floor is Mateflex sports tile, very similar to SportCourt. The colder it is, the slicker our floor gets. We recommend hybrid/softer wheels.

The venue is called 'SportsPlx' and is located at:
496 French Rd Utica NY 13502

It is just behind the train/hobby shop. When you pull in, please DO NOT PARK near the Train/Hobby shop. If we have the back parking lot open, pull in there. If not, please park along the outsides of the SportsPlx building and along the fence. Park other skaters in if you have to, we dont want anyone's cars to get towed.

The burrito place next door, Burrito Jonz,  has agreed to provide a number of dishes at $5 per meal prices for us afterwards. We will have menus available, or click the link to their website to see what they've got for specials etc

Please use the online sign-up form, and also check out the facebook event page and RSVP so that people can see who else is coming.
