BAD Hands 2014 Launch Party

It’s a new year and the 2014 season is coming up quickly! We need you to volunteer for BAD! From laying down our sport court, to pouring beer, to checking in people at the door, BAD’s volunteers are an essential part of our bouts.

We would like to start the new season off by throwing a get-together for all of our current and potential members of BAD Hands, our season-long volunteer program. We’ll provide snacks and drinks, and you just bring along any questions you have about the program. If you’re trying to convince your friend to join us, feel free to bring them too.

Contact volunteer@bayareaderbygirls.com for more details about the time and location of the launch party!

If you can’t make it to the launch party but you’re interested in volunteering either for the full season or just at one or two bouts, please fill out the BAD Hands form for 2014.

Season Preview by Rex Blocker: Berkeley Resistance

Hello fans of the best sport on earth! My name is Rex Blocker, and over the next few weeks I’m going to provide some season previews of each of the B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls home teams as we ramp up to our season-opening double-header March 1st at the beautiful Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, CA! The hope is that this will give you a little more insight into the teams and a little more knowledge of what you’re watching as the season unfolds; not so much how the game is played, but who’s playing it.
