Shuffleboard is an entertaining and challenging game of skill and strategy. No partners are necessary, and all equipment is provided; the only requirement is closed-toed shoes with nonskid soles. Practice times are Mondays and Wednesdays at 9 a.m. Starting time for League play is 8:30 a.m. on Fridays. Players should arrive on time to get a starting position. BYOB practice nights, tournaments and other social events are planned throughout the year. To use the shuffleboard courts, a person must be trained in court setup, maintenance and play, with the goal of becoming a participating club member.
