CANCELED - Boatball this Wednesday, August 18, 6:00 pm till 8:00 pm ish, at the Riverside Park in West Fork. Address for Riverside Park is 131 Main Street, West Fork, AR 72774.

As a result of our "new normal" below are 2 new & 2 old SAFETY RULES / PROTOCOL that will apply to all players in an effort to reduce the risk of illness/injury during play.

1. All players are required to wear a PFD (personal floatation device) and a helmet.

2. Proof of COVID VACCINATION will be required for all players 16 and older.

3. During play NO STANDING will be allowed in or on the paddle craft of your choice (i.e., canoe, kayak, SUP, paddle board, etc.).

4. All players understand they play boatball at their own risk.

Please post up in this link on the message board if you plan on joining us. This helps me determine if we are going to have enough players & saves those that travel a good distance time/gas, if we're not going to have enough for a game.

Be sure & check back here before you head out. I will make every effort to post up here by 4:30 to let you know if the game is still on or if we need to cancel due to lack of players or weather conditions deteriorate.

Don't hesitate to text or call me if you have any questions, 4seven9.three8one.5nine9five.
Also, If you'd like to be notified via text of game schedule / status, just let me know.
