Our first game is in the air at the moment with Denison on March 9th, we will keep you updated on that.
For our schedule so far we looking at March 30th in Findley and April 6th in Canton. Then we will attend a tournament in Bucyrus called the Teapot Scandal in May. There will be more games to come, it just depends on how many of you are willing to participate and COME TO PRACTICE! If everyone shows their loyalty to the team, there will be some very memorable times ahead to be had!
DUES are $75 per person. This covers CIPP insurance registration costs and field fees and some referee fees. Remember your CIPP registration lasts through Fall Season so dues will be cheaper Fall Season depending on if you're registered since Spring Season. If you pay your dues in March, you will receive an official Mud Boggers patch with our logo. If money is an issue, NO BIG DEAL, we can workout a payment plan for you. After it is all said and done, it will be the best $75 you've spent in a long time!
