Drill for about one hour then Round Robin for about two hours

BYOB (bring your own ball) 

Please give as much notice as you can if you sign up but can't attend. (I am suggesting this because of the absentee rate of the last few of these I've done. Really makes it more difficult to run these things.)

Be sure that you are at 3.5 skill level so that you do not slow down others.
