Topic: KUNG FOOS NIGHT

KUNG FOOS?

“Ah Master, tell me the secrets of the ancient art of Foos”
“Yes, Grasshopper, but it will take much work, much practice.”

Attention B Players: this is your chance to learn the art of passing, shooting, and defending from the D.C. area’s best foosers.            

Attention A Players: this is your chance to pass on your skills and raise the level of a local B player.

Each B player trains with an A for the next 5 weeks. Training times and locations to be arranged by players. Many will be meeting before the weekly tournaments at BWB.

Then the “B” players show off their skills at:

Thanks to John G. I must apologize for the typo "FORWARD SHOOT OUT' not "SHOT OUT"

Glorioso wrote me:
"When you say Forward Shot Out, does that mean that after each score the players take a shot? That sounds awesome!!"

Well John, not a BWB, but for sure one night at our house!!!!

Shane Wins the B-Player Challenge Tuesday Night:
Shane-No-Mane was victorious in a thrilling tie breaker finale with Kitty. After 4 hours of play in the Kung Foos B-Player Challenge Kitty and Shane were tied with 7 wins and 3 loses. Matches included Goalie war, forward shoot out, 5 bar passing, and singles. In the final match Shane's defensive 5 (or my lack of more than two kinds of passes) and shutting down my shots from the back were key. His new and improved  pull shot didn't hurt either! There is no question that in the last few months Shane has made huge improvements in his game . Congrats my friend!
 
Rick came in a close 3rd, Mike and Jim A were strong challengers for many in Singles and Goalie war, Karl had a rough night with his signature shots from the back showing up too late into the evening( lucky for us) and Harriet battled hard with her quick play in singles.
 
The open table was busy from 10:30-1am with Carlos, Ahmad, Lenny, Monty and a visiting Pro from CA...sorry I forgot his name
 
Thank you to the coaches: Pat, Ahmad, Lenny, Eric, and Monty
 
A special thank you to Pat who designed and ran the event to perfection!
