ADULT GOALBALL
Goalball season is here! We're ready for all you adults to come join us for some fun goalball. We'll teach you how to play if you don't know, and if you don't think you're any good at sports, come give us a try anyway and we'll show you how you can be good at goalball, have a lot of fun, and get a physical workout as well. Our first three "practices" are just for fun. We'll give you some instruction and pointers if you want, but the main purpose is to come play and have fun. That is also true of the "Adult Recreational Tournament" on February 14th--it's for some fun competition and it doesn't matter how good anybody is or isn't. It's just for fun. So plan on the following dates at the Jordan Resource Center, 332 West Center Street (7720 South), Midvale. There is bus and TRAX service both, even on Saturdays! We are two blocks west of the 7720 South TRAX station.

Ok, and those of you who are interested in being on the Utah Explosion (the men's team) or the Utah Dynamite (the women's team) and compete this year, take notice! We will be selecting team members after the adult tournament. Selection will be made solely on the basis of skill in all areas, attitude, and commitment (i.e. working out and attending practices).
