2024 NSA BOMBERWEEN - TEAM COSTUME CONTEST & PUMPKIN PRIZES!!

Every age group will be at Christina Park in Lakeland on Sunday.

2.    There were almost 50% of teams that needed special times this weekend because of rec games, travel distance and homecomings being made up from the storms.  We appreciate your understanding with the scheduling and your cooperation in playing what has been given to you for game times.
