Intermediate Indoor Play Opportunities
Jan 18 – Mar 29
We have received requests to organize play for intermediate players (3.0 – 3.49 skill level). These are players who are no longer beginners, but might be intimidated by the 3.5+ level players in our community. In response to this, we have arranged intermediate recreational play sessions on from January 18th until the end of March.

We need your help!
