We hosted our first tournament last Saturday in memory of our brother Michael.

Michael was a pillar in the creation of our club, and someone who made sure that everyone felt included.

This tournament was focused on youth.
Michael was a terrific role model. Attending this event it was apparent that his legacy of inclusion and kindness lives on in the youth of our club that he positively impacted.

We are so proud of this community we have built.
