District Conference

Calling All FUN PEOPLE!

District Conference is going to be a great time this year! The day starts out with some friendly kickball between teams – YOUR team. Teams don’t win by just scoring on the field, they get points for team cheer, team costume, most spirit and how fun they are. All ages and abilities are invited to participate for ONE inning of actual play. Pinch runners and kickers are allowed. Sign up your team of 9 – 12 players here :
The Muth Miracles are the first team to register and won an Amazon gift certificate to help with their team spirit – cause we know they’ll need it to beat the District Ballerinas! Who else is ready to jump in the fray….because it’s all about how you look to get that trophy! Gametime starts at 9:30 on August 28^th, at Swan Valley UMC.
