April 2022 Lunch

January 18, 2017

Good afternoon everyone!
On behalf of the team, coaching staff, and fans, I'd like to thank the FOP Lodge 68 for approving funds for this season's entry fee ($825). Team sports is a good opportunity to bring us together in a positive setting outside of work. It's great for physical and mental health! Our team, (Blue Balls) is using the "game changer" app where our roster, practice, and game schedules are organized. You can download the app and sign up as a fan (use personal email) by clicking the link below. Once approved, you'll be able to view the entire roster/schedule and follow our teams progress. Joe wants you to join BLUE BALLS on GameChanger: https://gc.com/teammanager/team/546d1e9f-95d6-4c82-9145-85accd440701 Download the app on your mobile device to get updates on this team.

All games are double-headers and will be played on Thursday evenings at Meles Park in Mt. Prospect. I will attach a link with our league schedule ("Thursday Rec 2"). I'll share the playoff schedule once I get it. First game is 18 AUG 8:40pm. Hope to see you there!
